Akrapovic high mount exhaust for 2022 Streetfighter V4S

When I am looking for the under seat high mount exhaust, it shows 2023-2024 models, and only shows the undermount style exhaust for the 2022 year. I am not aware of any differences in exhausts between these years. If I can’t do an underseat, then I won’t be changing the exhaust system

I think these fit all the way thru to 24. The undertail exhaust is titanium and you only think that bikes hot now. The heat transfer characteristics of titanium are similar to stainless steel, but the tubing is thinner. So, more heat. Since I have a 21V4SF I'm thinking this would not be ok for street use over about 25C.

I'm not aware of any reason it wouldn't work, but Akrapovic isn't the only exhaust. Spark has undertail systems as well, some even which are slip-ons, which are less costly.

I don't think the material matters as to temperatures felt by the rider. Titanium may get hot faster, but also sheds heat faster, and both are heated by the same thing, the exhaust gas. I'd argue the degree (pun intended) to which it matters.

The high mount exhaust AKA the full race system is not showing as available on the DP website for the pre 2025 streetfighter or Panigale, it appears the Ducati Performance are phasing out availability for OEM upgrades for earlier models. In the past SF and Panigale exhausts were interchangeable, the full undertail system should still available new for 22-24 Panigales from dealers or parts resellers.

Regarding heat, titanium is not going to be any hotter than stainless since neither are insulators, this is a much discussed topic and while there are a few things you can do to mitigate heat buildup, they are mostly ineffectual because it's basic physics; 200+hp creates heat, and the V4 format places the rear cylinders right between your legs. High or low exhaust is not going to change that, I have found that the best way to manage heat is by wearing leathers if youre planning to be on the bike for more than a short time and avoid riding in traffic on hot summer days.

I’ve had the high mount Akra on my 24 SFV4S for a year now and have NOT had any issues with heat. I live in Austin and ride through the Summer.
