Thank you. The Akra did sound a little bit more throaty, but I appreciate the comparison. You just saved me $1000.

Straight to the point and helpful. Thank you.

You are right, no point in changing the end box, though it may be a little lighter, and looks cool. That said, I did go for the full system, and the difference is enormous, in sound, weight, power, and torque……possibly even fuel consumption!…..and it sounds like a Ducati should. I haven’t regretted it. But the cost is silly - it should be under a grand.

Useful mate! You’ve either saved me £1500 by sticking with standard or cost me £2200 for the full system on my Desert X 😂 hmmm choices! Food for thought 👍🏻

Full System! ;)

Really helpful video. Thanks. Just put a deposit down on a rally as a BMW convert and was debating this very decision! Likely keep money in my pocket after this!!?????

As a 2022 MS V4S Sport owner, agree, sound is negligible. Slightly better pop & bass, but would go full if you wanted better sound, but full is much louder than stock for tourer. Biggest benefit is looks, stock can pretty generic. Hard to pay that much as accessory, in US you can get sport w/ slip-on, carbon parts , & livery paint for same $ as slip-on installed on V4S. Combined weight savings of around 5 to 8 lbs in Sport trim

The difference is clear.

I have the V4s full with the Akra end can and agree with you, only slightly better sounds but certainly not worth stumping up the £££’s for the upgrade

Well Just back from the NW200 finally bike goes in for first service tomorrow.My first 700 miles on the bike.Negatives first, I am disappointed with the fuel range, after owning two BMW 1200 Adventures I might be a bit biased but still I felt I was constantly looking for petrol stations. The Infotainment system well I gave up on and just used waze on my phone.Goes in for software update with first service so we will see if its an improvement. I still am new to the bike the one thing that blows me away is the power and the handleability.I love the way I can confidently throw her into corners.

I agree not much of differense . Check out QD-exhaust , they have both slip on and full system ( 16 bhp + 👍😃) They look and sound great i think , but they may bee very expensive over in US .

I am sticking with the stock can on mine. If there was a drastic sound change I would be for it but at that price, no way. New riding suit maybe hahaha

Myself I have the Akrapovic racing exhaust, gives this real Ducati sound😉😀

I agree with you, The Akra sounds slightly better but not worth the money being asked for the end can. There will be a few on ebay once the new Pikes Peak owners have their full systems fitted so you may be able to pick on up cheap (er)

Thanks. I take out a new MS this autumn and will stick to stock. Probably. The full system will probably be too load for Norwgian race tracks with a maximum limit of 102 dB.

Go full system it’s superb

If you buy just the Silencer End Can, you do NOT get the weight saving or increase in BHP and Torque. You have to buy the full Akro Exhaust system to get the weight savings, increase in BHP and Torque plus you get the Up-Map to to Sport Evo etc... If you buy just the End Can you get nothing just the branded Akro End Can brand and bit of carbon end fitting.

Clear comparison! A lot of € for just optics.

As a comparison and certainly cheaper than the Ducati full system QD Exhaust of Italy now do a full system for the Multi V4 at 1500Euros which at current exchange is £1275...

Just confirmed this weekend w/ my Ducati dealer & his service mngr, in the US, to get full cat delete exhaust. I’m are required to bring my V4S, in on a trailer, turn signals & all road legal plates removed, I have to put exhaust in myself prior, they can then flash. All due to EPA emissions & previous HD law suits, or they could be fined & tech that does it receives $10K personal fine, other wise they can’t do the flash. Sure I could find a small dealer that would skip this, my dealer is too big & by the book, unbelievable. I’ll stick w/ the Sport Akra can only that came on it

Save the money and spend it going on tour somewhere nice 😊

I definitely prefer the stock idle sound of this Italian beauty. Not that huge difference, is it? 🤔

Extra 4hp and 5kg gain is with the full system, not with this slip on

Hi, can you tell.me what did you mount to protect the exhaust?thanks

I have to tell you the Acrapovic is not the full one for this Bike it’s the Acrapovic Full Exhaust. That’s makes a difference but not from the Standard Can to the Standard V4S Full Acrapovic Can Version. The Acrapovic Full Exhaust looks like the regular Acrapovic but have two exhaust pipes and a different Cat Box beneath and the Sound is much differently. Here in Germany we’re not allowed to have the Racing Acrapovic Full Exhaust but in the UK you can, If i was allowed I would exchange my Acrapovic into the Full Exhaust immediately. It cost €3.200 and I would pay it and throw the Acrapovic that comes with the Full Version into the Garbage.

Have you received the call for the software update yet pal?

I've bought a used V4S Full so will have the Akra by default .. but you're right .. maybe not worth the extra money if you're buying it seperately. That said - I did upgrade the exhaust on my V2S to the Akra slip-on. See here.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5hnipN_y6mxgKc.html Big difference in weight on that bike.

Slip on is pointless. Go listen to the full system 😃

You got it wrong. This Acra is just the silencer and not the full system. The full system is a lot more and you then have 2 pipes into the silencer. I got the full system and this is not even close.

It’s pronounced A-Crap-O-Vich - No power gain between the stock and upgraded can the 4 BHP power gain you talk of is only if you fit the full system including the D cat

Sounds exactly the same mate . Keep the stocker.

buy some de cat headers and keep stock endcan

Doesn't sound much different, not worth the cash

As soon as he pronounced Akrapovic incorrectly I turned off .

Definitely not worth the $1700 !!!

Not much of a difference.
