Removing the DB killer in my 2022 Ducati MultiStrada V4 Pikes Peak Akrapovic race exhaust

Don’t need to wreck them by drilling out! They are held in with single hex screws with a tiny spot weld to keep from unscrewing. This is cracked off easily with a hex bar. First thing I did when I got mine. Also the dB killers are so rudimentary that’s their removal makes little difference to a non cat race system.

sounds much better, but could you measure the db-change or at least the db-level after removal? It is possible to put the "db-eater" 😊 back to restore the legal sound?

I want to hear this in person, next time we ride.

Just got a full exhaust on a new pikes peak 2023. This is one bad ass bike. Does removing the DB killers make a significant difference? Worth it?

I bet it sound awesome in person, but the camera mic isn't giving it justice.

Thats made such a difference... I went on a test ride on my Hyper vs Pikes Peak Multi and it sounded poor

Can you record a video walking To get an idea of ​​the noise? Looks like it turned out awesome

[madmotobg]

I dont have the db killers on my oem akrapovic on v4s. Nothing to remove and still sound auful.

Dude, they are screwed in from inside the baffle, they are spot welded to the baffle, just done mine easily, no drilling and the baffles slide right out to refit for a track day.

[kristofferkenfojas]

I have the pikes peak as well this not the full exhaust? So I can remove the db killer on mine?

No need to drill Allen key from inside.

Great for the desert, maybe not so good for forest trails where you'll be scaring bears and elk for miles around.

Yep, knew it that stupid Euro 5 crap.

THe real enemy of load motorcycles is the Harley crowd that runs strait pipes, just irresponsible and is the cause for all the new restrictions that ruins it for the rest of motorcycle owners. It is unfortunate that a group of irresponsible bone heads put us into the hands of regulators.

A pain in the ass are riders who remove the db eater and cause more and more closed roads, sick citizens and harsh crackdowns from police and governments for all the other riders 🤦‍♂️🙄
