I got my local dealer price for Akra slip-on holomogated silencer today.

It's about $2273, and they told me it's just plug-and-play, without any ECU modification, means no up-map key needed.

Is it true? $2273 for the looks only is too high price for me.

I wouldn't expect that you need an upmap key since the race map is likely meant for exhausts that remove the cats. The homologated exhaust probably improves the sound and just lightens the weight.

Akrapovi? approved silencers. - Ducati Superbike Accessories

Ducati UK has it for $1378 GBP.

Why not consider one of these SC-Project exhausts for your 959?

The craftsmanship of their products is awesome and at a fraction of the price, including the cost of adding an air / fuel modulator which is far better than a fixed up-map. Moreover, some of their exhausts are homologated for sound. Even those do not have "cats" thus the bike runs much cooler.

Yep, I considered SC-Project, too. All is in plan, I won't make exhaust modification right now.

The SC-Project sound is awesome, but quite too loud for my place. Even with stock exhaust, I have too take the bike to the head alley before starting it, otherwise, my neighbor would complain.

Another issue for me, is the bike performance. Because the way Ducati made this 959, any exhaust, but Akra one come with warranty. I am going to trade the warranty for a full system, but not the slip-on.
