It is important to note there are now 2 businesses you can order Corse parts from in the USA. I am fairly certain you can order a WSBK akra system through one of them for significantly less than that ebay system is going for. I believe the Corse system is 7-8k.
The two businesses you can get Corse parts from are HSBK racing and Superbike Unlimited. Corse is slowly becoming less unobtanium.
Hi MaverickiB,
Wow, that is a very good information... I really wish I knew that I can order Akrapovic racing only exhaust system from
@Superbike Unlimited who is also our forum member.
Unfortunately (at least for me), I already pay deposit for SC-Project WSBK exhaust and cannot cancel the order...
but hopefully, other forum members here will be able to take advantage of this good information from you.
I checked with MotoMecanica in Europe which installed and had a video of this Akrapovic system posted on YouTube and they were asking about 11k EURO + VAT (sales tax) for it WITHOUT any ECU mapping, that is about $16k USD with shipping and VAT
I know that I am pretty stupid so far in spending money for this bike, but I try my best not to be that stupid
oh, and The ECU mapping quoted for another extra 1200 EURO plus VAT
I also checked with Barni Racing directly (and also through one of very large distributor that is close to Barni Racing) and both of them can't get the Akrapovic anymore since Barni Racing no longer use Akrapovic and use SC-Project WSBK now.
Heck, I even contacted Akrapovic USA and now connected on LinkedIn with the US regional manager plus I "encourage" Ducati Regional Business Manager to see if Ducati can sell this system (ala 1299 Final Edition)... to no avail because they are just "not available" to general public... for now...
I guess this is just my destiny so SC-Project WSBK it is
Note: What I really really want was to have a Termignoni Under Tail Exhaust System just like the original 916 that I once owned (and also since my bike is the 916 Anniversario
), however, the Termignoni WSBK system have the pipe running above the 2 twin muffler and I just don't like the looks of it... (especially if you are looking from the LEFT side of the bike, well the right side looks bulky too with that big carbon heat shield).
So after ordering the SC-Project WSBK, I was thinking of buying a pair of Termignoni Slip-On Universal Mufflers from another official forum vendor
@Brock or
@BrocksPerf (Brock's Performance). My plan is to install the SC-Project WSBK exhaust but replace the end muffler with Termignoni (with some customization of course)
However, it looks like the Termignoni Slip-On Universal Muffler only available with 54mm inlet diameter, while if I am not mistaken the SC-Project WSBK will be either 65mm or 70mm inlet diameter... so this is a no go... but let's see and I will measure the SC-Project pipe diameter once it arrived sometimes in February 2021.
This was the Termignoni Slip-On Universal Muffler that I was interested in using in combination with the SC-Project WSBK:
Termignoni SO-05 GP Classic Stainless w/ Carbon Muffler
