Top 5 Exhaust Systems for V4 Engines

Listen to the difference between Akrapovic, SC Project, and Arrow on the latest Ducati Panigale V4.

The Symphony of the V4

The V4 engine configuration produces arguably the most intoxicating exhaust note in the motorcycling world. It combines the deep, throbbing pulse of a V-twin with the high-rpm scream of an inline-four.

However, stringent Euro5 emissions regulations have severely muffled modern superbikes from the factory. A high-quality aftermarket exhaust is usually the very first modification owners make to unlock both the sound and the hidden horsepower.

Akrapovič: The Gold Standard

When it comes to premium exhaust systems, Akrapovič is the undeniable king. Working closely with manufacturers like Ducati and Aprilia directly from the factory, their full titanium systems offer flawless fitment, massive weight reduction, and a refined, deep tone that screams at the redline.

Expect to see power gains of 10-15 horsepower when paired with the proper ECU flash.

SC-Project: The MotoGP Experience

If Akrapovič is the refined gentleman's exhaust, SC-Project is the untamed race weapon. Designed with direct input from MotoGP teams, SC-Project systems are notoriously loud, incredibly aggressive, and breathtakingly beautiful with their exposed titanium welds.

When selecting an exhaust in the BikeModifier studio, consider not just the visual impact of the muffler, but how the piping routing complements the aggressive lines of the swingarm and tail section.

"An exhaust system is the voice of the motorcycle. Make sure it speaks clearly."
