SC-Project - +8.6 hp on the Panigale
Straight from exhaust specialist SC-Project's R&D department at Milan, this 4-2-1-2 full titanium exhaust system with double CR-T M2 for the new Ducati Panigale V4 S/R is derived directly from SC-Project‘s racing department experience in the WSBK World Championship.
"No compromise, maximum performance, maximum attention to detail, the best technologies and the best materials for the creation of a real state-of-the-art system," says Sales Manager Michele Balboni, "the same system used in WSBK by Team Barni and now available for consumers from their nearest SC-Project dealers."
The system is supplied with four precision CNC-machined, high-strength, lightweight billet titanium engine connections with flanges and fitted with titanium bushings. The surface of the bushings is treated with a special process to ensure the best coupling, reduce friction and protect from oxidation for a longer life, long-term extreme stress tolerance.
Each header is made entirely with reduced-thickness titanium, with TIG welds performed in a controlled environment that is free from impurities. The full system is equipped with connections for lambda probes; the mounting springs have metal covers to withstand maximum stress.
The mufflers are SC-Project's CR-T M2 designs with high-resistance carbon fibre cover over titanium canisters, with a titanium mesh protector.
In addition, the kit is equipped with a lightweight, autoclave manufactured carbon heat shield with titanium insert. All hardware and mounting brackets are included in the kit. The exhaust can be installed with the original tail and fairings of the bike and with the original licence plate holder retained.
SC-Project says that the weight reduction is substantial: -2.9 kg compared to the original system, even though this is a complete system that retains the original double under-seat muffler design concept.
The performance increase is also massive at +8.1 hp and +4.0 Nm torque on the V4 S at 14,300 rpm and +8.6 hp and +4.1 Nm at 15,400 rpm; the noise level was measured at 106 dB at 5,500 rpm. To obtain maximum performance and optimise the power of the system and the engine, SC-Project recommends remapping the ECU.
