The heat that comes off them has nowhere to go but up, into the seat unit and whatever is bolted to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDucati builds its own shielding around the standard exhaust. Once that exhaust is replaced by a racing system with different volumes in different places, the standard shield is no longer the right shape — and this article is the piece that puts protection back where it is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Titanium\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heat shield has to reflect, stay dimensionally stable at temperature and weigh as little as possible, because it hangs at the very back of the motorcycle. Titanium does all three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteel would work and cost less, but it would also be heavier at the worst possible place on the bike — which is the whole reason the exhaust ahead of it was made of titanium in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shield is a separate article rather than part of the system, which means it is easy to forget. If the plan is a Spark racing exhaust under the seat of a 2025 V4, put this in the same basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeventy-eight euro is also less than the cost of finding out the hard way what sustained exhaust heat does to a tail unit and its wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDucati Panigale V4, V4 S and Streetfighter V4, 2025 to 2026, in combination with Spark's underseat silencers.
