The Akrapovic SLIP-ON OPEN exhaust system for the new Ducati 1098 / 1098S is an invincible combination of performance and price. In addition to performance, the twin titanium or carbon fibre mufflers add a clean racing look. The Ducati will also sound a lot better than stock!.

The system is not homologated for road use but does include removable 'db killers' in the tail pipes to reduce noise if necessary (a fully E marked and road legal version including Catalytic convertor is also available.
