Hello, I’m getting my 1299 Panigale next week and she has the full Akra system fitted. Can anyone tell me the power increase as my insurance needs to know? Cheers
I happy to be shot down, but I think no more than 4-5 bhp with the remap that comes with the exhaust. Depending on where you're getting the bike from, I'm sure the parts or workshop guys/girls will be happy to guide you.
Is not the full Akra system for ‘race’ only? Possibly an offence also under ‘construction and use’ if no catalytic converter fitted either. But then if insurance don’t ask material questions then fine. Bike emissions not tested on MOT so no problems with that.
His exhaust comes without the 'race use only' which seems to have been either accidentally rubbed off with wet-n-dry. Or just didn't come with it & has an unsightly blemish from some weird scuffs in that zone. 4-5bhp extra
They're pretty crap gains. Call me a cynic but do think Akra/Ducati have cooked these feeble gains between themselves? Based on the lower the performance gains the safer tune- so to speak. Or am I talking bollox? Again
It doesn't matter, it's powerful enough. Full system will sound better, smooth the bike, increase torque, and whether you see more or less, 5% keeps your insurance company happy.
