Agreed. Being able to walk away is a much better way to go out than the alternative of being wheeled.
I just picked up a FE #115 with 1300 miles. I'm interested in getting the full Akropovic race exhaust to really open her up and hear that engine. It's $5,000 here in the U.S. Has anybody done this mod? Was the sound really different? Looking for that deep growl. Any noticeable power difference with a custom tune? I want to keep the dual can high undertail look of the stock Akro.Thanks for any input.

Omg it is night and day. The sound is incredible and it cleans up the midrange. You have to do Ducati race upmap also. The CF belly pan vs huge catalytic is also beautiful.

Awesome!!! That is what I was wanting to hear. Looking at your pic, how does belly pan attach? Also, where are you located and where did you have it done. I'm near Augusta in Beech Island, SC.Omg it is night and day. The sound is incredible and it cleans up the midrange. You have to do Ducati race upmap also. The CF belly pan vs huge catalytic is also beautiful.

Took a LONG time to sell mine. Mine had 936 miles I believe. Started at mid 30’s...... a million crazy low ball offers. I think most people looking on Cycle Trader really don’t know how special the FE’s are. Ended up painfully selling for 25k.

Belly pan attached with a combo of fasteners and actually a few pieces of Velcro. Just to keep it tidy I guess. Great fit. The pipes are gorgeous too as the titanium turns blue/purple from heat
I used my dealer here in Atlanta. Any Ducati dealership will do it. It’s a difficult all day install. Use a dealer to get warranty. They already had to replace the heat shield foil on that belly pan as it shredded oddly.
What did the FE cost with that low miles?

$25k is brutal. Maybe I should’ve looked for a used one. Holy crap

Bro, that exhaust is beautiful!!! Yeh, I plan on using Charlotte Ducati. Had some past dealings and was happy with them and they are probably 2nd to 3rd closest. Did you happen get a weight of each? I think website says like 4-5lbs from stock. If I told you what I paid, you wouldn't believe it. Also came with an extra set of BST CF wheels with Brembo rotors and Pirelli Superbike Slicks already installed. Did you order exhaust through Ducati or online? They quoted me 5k out the door.
Definitely. That was just the first and only place so far. Just got the bike 6 days ago.

5k installed?? That’s a deal.
Beware used or deals. Ducati won’t cover any issues like I had.

Sorry. 5k just for exhaust, otd.
What am I doing wrong? I put the peg into the triple tree hole and the top of the bike stand wants to push up on nose fairing a good 1-3". I stopped as I didn't want to cause damage. It as a 28S peg. That came with the bike. Is this the correct setup? Any pointers? All my other bikes I grip under forks.
Damn pics won't post.

You can buy just a cat delete if you don’t want to spend all your money on a full system just yet. It’s just a little y-piece that connects the headers to the silencers (also comes with upmap) but if you’re looking to get rid of the under seat loop you’ll have to go full system.
