1199 Wsb Exhaust

Just watching superpole and it really does sound difference. Like a Ducati actually

 

Vince, you need one for yours!

 

Gorgeous bit of kit and sounds lovely, wonder what it will cost for the streetbike...£2500?

 

Hmm, I think it will be more than that. Current, but not quite WSB Akroprovic (spelling) is around £9.5k if you can get it, which you will not be able to. The Ducati Corse ones that you can buy are around £2k, but do not make much difference over the "standard" Termi system.
The WSB/BSB Termi headers (no cans) from 2013/14 that give you some real torque on the 1199 are around £3k 2nd hand.....if you can get them.

 

Likely to be able to buy a 1299 for less than that system...if you can get one

 

I was fortunate enough to be given a tour of the WSBK garage at Donny the other week and the bikes then had a lot of heat wrap around the base of the exhaust next to the rear tyre. I'm wondering if this change is more to do with a heat issue for the rear tyre than a power improvement.

 

In commentary they were saying the kwacker and panigale were by far the fastest in a straight line.

 

Just needs to go up a bit and exit thru 2 carbon cans under the seat

 

I was in the pit lane yesterday morning when they were warming the bikes up and thought exactly the same as Bradders, they sound like Ducati's again. Out on track they sound absolutely awesome, here's hoping Chaz can put it on the top step today.
Hats of to Alex yesterday too, outstanding lap on the Suzuki, I was fortunate enough to speak to him and he said he was made up with the lap times in general as they didn't really expect to be quite that quick.

 

I think its more the exit points on the earlier Akras causing an issue. The exhaust exits very close to the rear tyre. Not great in racing conditions.

 

The new Acra' system's exits are, apparently, not identical either side, but give a broader power band than the Termi's. Incidentally, the use of heat wrap, apart from saving nearby stuff from getting too hot, also keeps the heat in the exhaust gas, a situation to be welcomed when seeking ultimate performance I am informed.

 

The commentary team said the new exhaust was to give more mid rang punch. I also believe that the exhaust wrap retains heat within the exhaust which improves extraction.
