QD - Panigale Streetfighter V4 slip-on
Italian exhaust manufacturer QD (Milan) has introduced a new system for the Ducati Panigale Streetfighter V4 - using the stock manifolds and double 52 mm diameter connection pipes where the two catalytic converters are used.
A 2-in-1 connection pipe merges the flows into a common 60 mm diameter pipe where a valve, controlled by the stock servomotor, lowers the noise level to meet the homologation limits.
The system ends with a double link pipe and two titanium silencers from QD's 'Gunshot Dark Matter' series, in matt black ceramic coated finish, with GP style mesh grids in the carbon fibre end caps hiding the 2 dB killers.
All the pipework is in TIG welded stainless steel with gas injection "to obtain a perfect inner surface, void all the gas turbulence and maximise the flow.
"The system fits perfectly with the passenger footrests thanks to two small additional brackets supplied in the package that allow their relocation in a wider position". A carbon fibre heatshield is in development and will be released soon.
"The power achieved with this system is impressive, +12 hp at the rear wheel in racing configuration with the race map - the tool to reflash the stock ECU is sold separately as an option".
As with all QD Exhaust products, this system is sold with a SERVICE CARD that allows the owner to extend to a 30-month warranty programme and to download the European certification.
