Slovenian exhaust manufacturer Akrapovic has added an EC-ECE type-approved titanium version muffler to its Slip-On line. Seen here configured for the Ducati Multistrada, it is a development of the carbon fibre construction that has already been seen for several bikes since its INTERMOT 2014 launch, with a hand-crafted carbon fibre heatshield, a larger-diameter inlet pipe and an upgrade of the hexagonal carbon fibre end cap design. Titanium "considerably" reduces the weight over the stock system, and when used in combination with the optional titanium header, is said to "provide an impressive performance increase throughout the entire rev range, giving improved throttle response and offering even greater control over the power distribution". To further tune the sound, the optional header comes with a noise-reduction insert, and Akrapovic say that no remapping or other parts are needed for the install.
