Evening Gents,

I am the proud owner of a 2015 R which has been brilliant for the first 2000km however I feel it is time to ditch the stock exhaust cans. I am see a lot of conflicted opinions about the construction of the stock R exhaust so I am hoping some of you knowledgeable folks may be able to answer some of my dot points below

- Are the stock R piping / headers full titanium? I.e same as Akra EVO aftermarket / Full Akra DP system
- If not should I purchase the FULL system of just the Akra DP "race" cans - What are the benefits?
- If I retain the stock piping / headers is the flapper valve / servo motor deleted by installation of the Akra DP "race" cans?
- Is purchasing the 899/1199 Akra EVO aftermarket system and use tuneboy a better alternative to either of those listed above?

Thanks in advance.
 
I am sure it's just the cans you need to purchase .This will delete the flapper valve .
Wait for someone to confirm this but I believe it to correct .
 
Valve sits above the cans.

The cans will have the highest impact on performance, however, with a better than stock mapping (RapidBike, TuneBoy,...) your issues can be resolved with the current exhaust.
 
The race silencer kits do not include the Y pipe to remove the 2015 1199R flapper Y pipe Im afraid.

Also,
The 899/199 have different mount setup (3 bolts) V the 2015 1199R/2015 1299 mount which is a clamp.

I assume you can buy that part separately for the 2015 1199R ?

The 2015 1199R Akrapovic is same one as fitted to the 1199 Superleggera, which also came with the race silencer kit with the "race" Y pipe to replace the "Road" version which has the Flapper valve built into it

Picture 1 shows the 2015 1199R / 1199 Superleggera Road legal system with the Y pipe with flapper valve and Catalytic silencers, Picture 2 shows the full race system with the race Y pipe and race silencers.

Also,
From what I was told, 2015 1199R with road system gave 199rwhp, compared to 2015 199R with full open race system fitted, which gave 204rwhp.(UK Dyno)

I know the y pipe mounts different on the 899/1199 to 1299/R. The 1299 and 2015 R have the same setup. But if you replace the whole Evo system it should fit I think to any bike. You just have to watch which slip ons you buy as you can tout the slip ons from a 899/1199 due to the 3 hole bolt pattern. You can get rid of the flapper valve yourself as well.
 
Well if you intend to take it to a track at some point, I'd advise against upgrading.

I went on a track day with a 102db limit. Tested at 112db!!! (although I question their methods). I did manage to pass the drive-by at 96db though so I was aloud to stay on.

I had the EVO system on the 2013 R and scraped though with that. I'm pretty certain the 2015 R has a bigger bark, or so my ears tell me!! You put the EVO on that and you'll put a small jet to shame :D

Just my advice/experience anyways.........

Best performance and best value for money you will get out of the Termignoni 2014 WSBK exhaust with TB. The quality of the material is also superb.

2015 R Slip on is the same as Supperleggera, i have this fitted to my 2015 R comes with muffler's/ypeice to delete flapper, upmap and new clamps/brackets.
etc. its not exactly the same as the evo system but yes the headers are Ti.
main difference is the y piece is clamped to the header in stead of springs.

I thougt that only the Superleggera Akra-Muffler kit came with y-piece to delete flapper, the DP Akra muffler kit for Panigale R only comes with a smaller v-piece to connect the mufflers to the OEM R y-piece with flapper. Flapper valve actuation is elmiminated here by up-map.

Headers of Superleggera/Panigale R exhaust are made of steel, not Ti, see iamge.

Full DP Akra or Akra Evo comes of course with full ti headers and y-piece w/o flapper.

I don't know about the R y-pipe. Everything else I concur to.

when you buy the akra slip-ons for a 2015R the Y pipe does not come with them, but as stated in a previous post, the flapper valve is deactivated

stock 2015R headers are stainless - pipes from headers back to mufflers are Titanium
 
Not sure what dropping extra 3 large on the R race cans gets the rider outside of the big Akra logo instead of the smaller one tucked underneath edge of fairing.... The homologated cans may weigh slightly more but emissions would be in question with the race cans. If I were racing the bike then it would make sense.

Lighter Weight (-10lbs) - More Hp (+12hp at 5100rpm) - More Torque (+13ftlbs at 5300rpm) :eek:

Probably the single best Performance to Dollar ratio you can get :D

Although its understandable, not everyone would want to do it...its a no brainer for those that like "more" :rolleyes:

...i'd say the logo's aren't required...but look nice :)

These numbers aren't a comparison to the R's homologated Akra exhaust though. I believe they are comparing a stock oem exhaust to the Akra Evo system.

Yes...you are correct (oops) I apologize :eek:

Akrapovic posts their data compared to the 2012 1199S even if you select the R model on their site
