Akrapovic states it directly: the buyer must also choose one of two link pipes — with or without catalytic converter — or the Evolution header. Without one of those three parts there is nothing to join the muffler to the engine, and the motorcycle does not run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA link pipe or the Evolution header is required and sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC and ECE type approval, valid only with the catalytic link pipe fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.8 kg where Ducati's standard silencer is 5.7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium outer sleeve with carbon fibre detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaches 131.4 PS from a standard 129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 Nm more measured at 6,150 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf an hour of workshop time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Ways to Connect It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic offers a link pipe with a catalytic converter, a link pipe without one, and the Evolution header. Which is chosen decides everything about the finished exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the catalytic link pipe the system keeps its EC and ECE type approval and stays road legal. Without the converter, or with the Evolution header, the approval falls away and the motorcycle becomes a track machine. The muffler is identical in either case; the part in front of it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBudget for Both Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price on this page buys the muffler. The link pipe is a separate order and a separate cost. Nobody should reach the checkout thinking the exhaust is complete, and that is why this appears twice on the page rather than once in the small print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Point Nine Kilograms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDucati's standard silencer on these bikes weighs 5.7 kg — a large twin-outlet unit mounted high on the right. The Akrapovic replacement weighs 1.8. Almost four kilograms taken from above the rear wheel changes how quickly a Monster falls into a turn more than the figure alone suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTorque Where a Monster Uses It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeak power climbs from 129 PS to 131.4, which is modest. The number that earns its keep is 4.5 Nm more at 6,150 rpm — the middle of the range on an L-twin that is ridden on torque rather than revs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDucati quotes 115.7 Nm standard against 116.1 with the system. As with several exhausts in this catalogue, the peak barely moves while the area under the curve grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Engines, One Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1,198 cc Monster 1200 and the 821 cc Monster 821 share a chassis and an exhaust route despite the difference in capacity, so one muffler covers both. The figures on this page come from the 1200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThirty Minutes for the Muffler\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe muffler itself goes on in half an hour. Fitting the link pipe is separate work and takes longer, particularly if the standard catalytic converter has to come out with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approval, valid only when the link pipe with catalytic converter is installed. In any other configuration the system has no approval and is for closed circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: S-D8SO2-HRBL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831113527545\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: Ducati Monster 1200, 1200 S and 821, 2014 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine: Slip-On Line (Titanium), muffler only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired separately: a link pipe with or without catalytic converter, or the Evolution header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade of: titanium outer sleeve, carbon fibre parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.8 kg against 5.7 kg standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: up to 131.4 PS from 129 standard; 2.4 PS more at 8,650 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: 116.1 Nm against 115.7 standard; 4.5 Nm more at 6,150 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorkshop time: about thirty minutes for the muffler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproval: EC and ECE, only with the catalytic link pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53629066739978,"sku":"S-D8SO2-HRBL","price":606.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01_3cefbf89-46fc-4aed-85e2-6c8d65a31e67.png?v=1788556238","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ve\/products\/akrapovic-slip-on-line-titanium-ducati-monster-1200-821-s-d8so2-hrbl","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
