Spark exhaust, do you like the look?

DucatiKev · May 1, 2020

I love the look of the Spark WSBK Replica exhaust system for the V4. It seems to be the exhaust system that was missing. Do you agree?

vote in the poll and let me know your thoughts. I am not implying that I need the power increases from a $5,000 exhaust let alone this $10,000 exhaust. I just like the raw look and now I have to have it

if you hate it please give an example of the exhaust you like, and if it’s the OEM one, I would have agreed until I discovered Spark

lastly, let me ask is anyone here buying this exhaust? Would you buy it if it was 1/2 price? How abt 1/4 price?

Its a 10,000 dollar question

I hate being like everyone and always strive to be unique, hence why I got this system. I believe im the only ‘mortal’ to rock this kit and never looked back

Can’t say that and not post a pic. Let’s see it.

No exhaust is worth $10K to me.

Cost is one thing, value is another. The former is determined by the accountant, the latter by the customer. I would struggle to justify that cost but then again a didnt put in an order for a V4 SL either. I think its a pretty cool looking bit of pipe but the Vandemon is less than half the price, that said the Spark includes tuning software and hardware.

The welds on that thing look terrible however I do like the look of it on the bike. I would not spent $10,000 on it.

Welds on which?

The Spark WSBK Replica exhaust. For $10,000 I would expect the welds to look a bit cleaner and more uniform like the Vandemon exhaust. Just my opinion though.

DV4 · May 1, 2020

My thoughts too, I was going to say that compared to the Vandemon the welding was pretty average.

Yeah it’s crazy a $4k Vandemon looks like the robot precision welded it and the $10k WSBK one looks like a team of kindergarteners got the bid

I think the akras are too quiet but i like my bikes to boom. I bet that spark sounds nuts.
My vandemon on my 1199 is much louder than termis

I like it loud too. I started tossing around ideas regarding the Vandemon, like if I could chop off cans (on the 1199/1299 under tail version) and just put straight pipes. Essentially the Spark is a straight pipe and I love it. I think it’s the simplicity that has captivated me. The Akra and demon ones look “prosumer” to me vs straight pro

too loud? Never!

Thanks bro, alot of has gone into it already (as you know this hobby is a dangerous way to throw money at them like a stripper!). I still have parts on order, but due to the lockdown they’re taking much longer than expected.

that’s true and I can get a discount on Vandemon but I’d want the Vandemon endcans replaced with Spark ones or something custom that’s similar. I really like the idea of sliding louder cans on the Akra headers.

any input on retaining factory warranty on the bike with Vandemon installed?
