Not a description, not a decibel figure, not the name of the exhaust it belongs to — the entry consists of a part number, a price and a fitment list. That is unusual even by the standards of this section, and it is the first thing a buyer should know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn optional noise damper for the 2015 to 2018 BMW S 1000 RR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAkrapovic publishes no description, no figure and no system name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave it confirmed against your silencer before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA previous-generation part for a previous-generation motorcycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Can Be Said With Certainty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree things. It is an optional noise damper, which in Akrapovic's range always means a removable restrictor that fits inside a silencer outlet and lowers the measured static level. It is listed for the S 1000 RR of 2015 to 2018. And it is a separate purchase from any exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything else — which silencer, how much quieter, what it costs in flow — is not published, and this page will not supply invented answers to make the listing look fuller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich S 1000 RR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 to 2018 machine, the generation before BMW introduced ShiftCam and the current chassis in 2019. It is a distinct motorcycle with its own exhaust systems, and parts do not carry across in either direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2019 or later S 1000 RR takes V-TUV111, which is documented and carries a published figure of 104.8 dB. If your motorcycle is the newer one, that is the part to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Order This Safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive the distributor the part number of the Akrapovic silencer on the motorcycle along with V-TUV108, and ask them to confirm the pairing. They can check it against data the public catalogue does not show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith no published system reference, that step is not optional here. It is the only way to be sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Older Superbike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 S 1000 RR is a used motorcycle now, and a great many of them have become track bikes — which is exactly the use in which a noise damper becomes relevant. That is presumably why the part is still in the price list a decade later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParts availability for a superbike of this age is not something to take for granted, and a small item like this disappearing from a catalogue is common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRemovable, as Always\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA noise damper is a bolt-in restrictor. It changes nothing permanently: in for the meeting that requires it, out again afterwards with hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Circuits Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatic noise limits exist because circuits operate under planning conditions set by the communities around them. A meeting that exceeds its limit risks the venue's licence, which is why scrutineers enforce the figure without negotiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot applicable in the usual sense. A damper addresses a circuit's noise limit rather than road legality, which rests with the silencer and its own approval status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: V-TUV108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831095074358\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: BMW S 1000 RR, 2015 to 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: optional noise damper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription, effect and system reference: not published by Akrapovic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelated: V-TUV111 covers the 2019 onwards machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproval: none; it addresses competition noise limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53631148851466,"sku":"V-TUV108","price":61.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01_c04a32d7-9cd3-4bc4-82d3-2b7b2b3dcf77.png?v=1788604420","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-au\/products\/akrapovic-optional-noise-damper-bmw-s-1000-rr-2015-v-tuv108","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
