E4 stands for Euro 4, and Akrapovic uses it to separate this converter from the versions built for other emissions standards. On a Ducati air-cooled twin that ran from 2015 through 2020, the standard changed part way through the production run — so the model year alone does not settle which converter a given motorcycle needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Euro 4 version, marked by the E4 suffix in the part number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the Monster 797 and the Scrambler 800 family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneycomb metal carrier with palladium, rhodium and platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn EC approval is recorded against it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix model years and three model names under one number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Standard Is Your Bike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuro 3 ran until the end of 2016, Euro 4 from 2017. A Scrambler 800 registered in 2016 and one registered in 2018 are not the same motorcycle where emissions equipment is concerned, and a converter matched to the wrong standard is the wrong part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe registration document settles it. If in doubt, the frame number and a dealer lookup settle it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot Tied to an Akrapovic System Here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor several bikes in this catalogue, a converter exists because an approved Akrapovic exhaust needs one to stay legal. That is not the case here — the Akrapovic slip-on for the Monster 797 and Scrambler is a track part with no approval at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo this converter has a different job: it is a replacement for a failed original, and it is what gets a Scrambler through its next inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConverters Do Fail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substrate cracks under thermal cycling, and a spell of running rich after a misfire can coat it beyond recovery. A 2015 Scrambler is now old enough that both are realistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signs are a rattle from under the bike, a flat spot at higher revs, or a failed emissions test. Nothing about it can be judged by looking, which is also the argument against buying one used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Coating Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalladium, rhodium and platinum, bonded to a metal honeycomb. Carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons pass over them and leave as carbon dioxide and water vapour. The metals are most of what the part costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Happens With the Wrong One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA converter built for a different emissions standard may physically bolt in and still be wrong. The substrate volume and the coating loading are matched to a specific exhaust flow and a specific test cycle, and a mismatch shows up as a failed measurement rather than as a part that does not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the awkward kind of error: everything looks finished, the bike runs, and the problem only appears at the inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Names, One Air-Cooled Twin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDucati's 803 cc air-cooled L-twin powered the Monster 797, the Scrambler Icon, the Classic and the Café Racer. They differ in wheels, bars and paint rather than in the exhaust, so one converter serves all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot an Exhaust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne converter in the box, and nothing else.
