they are currently using the highest temp spec available or thats their plan for further testing?
Packing Werkes Exhaust + Dyno!

Pretty sure said they are using it now, it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
How much extra was the ceramic coating? Our Werkes badge had a bad batch of paint and it all faded. Werkes offered to fix it no charge I asked if we could wait until end of season and they said yes. Maybe I'll have it coated while they have it for the repair.

The Best sounding Exhaust by far is the Akrapovic System with out the catalyst. Its well made, yo don't have to repack it and its not too loud, but offers a deep ducati like tone. Buy it, have the ECU remapped
and be done. I just did and never looked back, So happy

I think it is $50 for the black velvet finish on entire pipe, same cost as ordering new...
I also confirmed they will repack for just the shipping cost...
Yes, now that the bike is heading toward its third model year there are more choices for exhuast and other parts, but, at 4 Lbs. and keeping the original styling this is my choice.

I do not agree.
I use an Akra exhaust on my KTM 990 Adventure and have to repack every 20.000 or 25.000 km.
The bike is now 100.000km.

Hey guys sorry I haven't updated.
Ive had some intense weekends with a birthday, gastro and a spartan race.
Back in it now.
Heres my update atm: bike is stuck in the shop due to failed welds letting unfiltered air into the engine...
Thats what ive been told so far hopefully should be getting a proper explanation of whats going on today.

Hoping Trae327 will stop by with an update soon...
I've just traded my GPR Ghost for a Werkes... but concerned about their reputation for being really loud. I got in contact with Shawn at Competition Werkes and they advised the db killer installed for Fasteddy was a custom one-off only, done in exchange for his generosity in loaning his bike for testing/tuning. It is not available for sale.
I'm still sending the pipe in for a factory repack and will get the center portion coated as well. I'll see how it is from the factory and re-evaluate as needed.

I replaced the werkes with a MIVV GP and the bike finally sounds like I wanted, now is loud and deep but not obnoxious I made a video of the werkes and posted on youtube some time ago, I will make another one of the MIVV GP soon.

I was running the Werks for a while and got tired of the noise level. I switched to a MIVV Ghibli that I modified and not only does the bike sound deeper but there was a big low end torque gain, it was extremely noticeable. I believe that this engine benefits from the longest possible exhaust length.

Did you install it with or without the DB killers?

Yes my bike is tuned with a PCV, with the Werks the bike would just seem to change tone and not really go at mid RPM, When I installed the MIVV it was like a kick in the pants, the bike has an instant reaction to every move of the throttle. I made no changes to the tune when i swapped to the MIVV.. I am going to go -1T on the rear sprocket as the bike has great mid range now..
