Akrapovic Optional Link Pipe/Collector (SS) Ducati Desertx 2022-

Built from high-grade stainless steel, the newly developed optional link pipe is aimed at riders looking for better performance and weight reduction. Ducati DesertX:

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, this newly developed link pipe replaces the stock pre-muffler, where the stock catalytic converter is located, leading to a more direct gas flow, aimed at increasing performance. Providing a huge weight reduction of 79.2% (3.8 kg) over the original link pipe, this option also increases power by 3.2 kW (4.4 hp) at 8,600 rpm and improves torque by 5.6 Nm at 4,600 rpm when fitted to a Slip-On Line (Titanium) on a Ducati DesertX and compared with the standard stock system on the Akrapovič in-house dyno. Serving up an enhanced sportier racing sound, this track-oriented optional part has no EC/ECE type-approval and has been developed for use on closed-course competition circuits only. It is a simple plug-and-play installation, and remapping of the ECU is recommended.

When installed, the EC/ECE type approval of the Slip-On Line (Titanium) becomes invalid.

Optional Link Pipe/Collector (SS) was tested and developed together with Slip-On Line (Titanium) system.

Ducati Monster:

Built from high-grade stainless steel, the newly developed optional link pipe is aimed at riders looking for better performance and weight reduction. Its design removes the stock pre-muffler – where the stock catalytic converter is located – allowing less restricted gas flow to aid performance in the mid and high rev range. When combined with a Slip-On Line (Titanium), the pairing enhances power by 2.8 kW (3.8 hp) at 8,600 rpm and torque rises by 3.3 Nm at 7,100 rpm (when tested on the Akrapovič dyno in comparison to a Monster using a standard stock exhaust), while serving up a deep, racing sound. Weight is reduced by 3.8 kg, which is a saving of 80% against the stock version. Developed for use on closed-course tracks and racetracks only, remapping of the ECU is recommended to get the optimum performance from this race-derived accessory.

Installation of the optional link pipe (SS) makes EC/ECE type approval of the Slip-On Line (Titanium) invalid.
