Zard exhaust V4

The standard figure of 213hp seems a bit generous as well.

Giving a 10% loss for driveline... you'd expect a 214 crank hp bike to be around 192-193 at the wheel.

A chart from ZARD amounts to a hill of beans, there is no way a ZARD slip on with no mapping adjustments gets you in the ballpark of a Akra which has been engineered with Ducati Corse all through the development of the bike. I agree Akra is an insane cost. But everyone always chases a cheaper exhaust solution in which case 80% look like bolt on trash (highly subjective I know) and then spend time and money to get it to work right... ?

This! No way ZARD gets the HP or the driveability without a tune. As for the Akra, yes it is a plug and play solution but they are charging you 2x what it should cost. For those willing to spend a little extra effort for a dyno tune, I am guessing you can get 99% of the Akra performance for 1/3 the price.

after months of R&D over the past week...

Seems like a lot more heat with all those pipes on top of an already toasty platform. I think the SBK Akra or SC is the cleanest solution for the 4. You pretty much can’t see it

Akrapovic have to cover their costs for sponsoring all those MotoGP/WSBK teams etc. That's a big part of their cost. But, also helps with development.
