AUSTIN RACING for Panigale V4 revealed
Help Support Ducati Forum:
Ok so forum drama aside, have there been any more updates on this exhaust yet?
Jay1290, if you're still active in this thread, any chance you could post some more sound clips of the AR exhaust? I see tons of dyno runs on youtube but none that show how it sounds idle or when revved in neutral.
Sound and lookswise its my favorite on the market so far, with Spark in second

Hahahaha I’ve enjoyed these AR threads over the years, very entertaining. The way Rich represented himself here, he reall came off as a tool.
I’ve never cared for the looks of the AR systems he’s made for the Panigale or now the V4 undertail. But last summer I saw and heard the AR GP2R system on a friends R1M. One of the first five made. It looked on par with the majority of aftermarket systems made these days, but boy was it MotoGP loud. He had all the baffles removed to make the most power. Way too loud for even the street.
When I got rid of my S1000RR for my R1M last thanksgiving, I wanted something other than a Graves. Since it’s just going to be my coffee getter, I didn’t want to look like all the other R1’s running around my area and I wasn’t worried about max power. So I went ahead and ordered up the AR GP2R and figured I’d run it with all the baffles.
When the pipe arrived in January, it was redesigned and actually impressed me on the jump in quality. Beautiful welds and the whole 3/4 system weighed under 3 lbs with all 3 baffles in place. That’s 1 more baffle than the original system on my friends bike.
There’s a short baffle sandwiched between the canister and the mid pipe. With this removed and the mid pipe and canister baffles in place, my bike made just as much power as my friends with all his removed. Peak power was right up there with the Graves. We probably could have tuned for more power if we removed the mid pipe baffle but that would be way too loud for the street or most tracks so I passed on that.
As to how the curves looked, AR GP2R vs Graves, peak power was the same, AR had a higher torque peak, but the curve on the Graves was WAY WAY smoother. If I was using my R1M for racing, I’d definitely go Graves.
But for my coffee runs, I like the AR. I might even toss the little baffle back in and loose the 8 hp gained by removing it.
I still prefer the looks of my Akra on the Pani, and also the looks of the Vandemon.
But other than Rich being a major tool on here, I’ve been very pleased with the AR.
Hey PHl, how come I never got any fresh bread with my Ti bolts??? Gecko sent me Swedish chocolates!!! Get to baking brother) )
