Bro about the map if u search a lil bit there is no problem u just buy the T800 from TERMIGONI like i said before or the brentuning box or another one that i forget the name then u upload the correct Map then the filter N someone for the mounting N it's good to go...
Yes, I agree that the T800 or Brentuning map will work well with aftermarket exhausts and will be no problem for most application.
However, if you really want to make it really ideal like the way Ducati factory would do it, then there are some differences, at least from what each tuners claim,
So according to Ducati on this webpage:
Exhausts Systems Ducati Performance
Their Akrapovic map not only alter the fuel and ignition (AFR ratio and ignition)
but also other parameter like DTC, DWC, DPL and slide on demand.
But according to Brentuning, from their research, the Akrapovic Ducati map only make changes to the fuel and ignition:
2020 Ducati V4 / V4S Handheld Diagnostic Tool (Stage 1)
while the T800 map from termignoni were even more simpler than the Akrapovic Ducati map.
Although I confused with this claim because how the T800 can be more simple than a Ducati Akrapovic map when the fuel/ignition is the only changes with Ducati Akrapovic map?,
maybe what Brentuning mean was, the "resolution" of the changes perform to the T800 map is not as high as the changes perform by the Ducati Akrapovic map.
Resolution meaning, for example Akrapovic team look and adjust the changes neccessary to the map for every 100 rpm increment, while Termignoni T800 do it every 500 rpm increment (and T800 extrapolate the in between changes).
I have no doubt that on the engine map alone, the Brentuning map might be able to coax the last ounce of horsepower (more) compare to the Ducati Akrapovic map, since Akrapovic "factory" map would emphasize more on safety/reliability in every climate and fuel quality available.
But in the end, I still believe the Ducati Akrapovic map is actually superior (not in term of full power gain) for overall effectiveness.
Because I don't think Brentuning or T800 map have access (and resources) to also alter the DTC, DWC, DPL and slide control parameters.
To be fair, Brentuning or T800 never claim they have access and never claim that they perform any changes to these parameters.
I watch the youtube video from
@Superbike Unlimited and I noticed their Motec full racing ecu can even have all these parameters change using GPS location (different in each corner), so the although optimized engine map looks good on a dyno, but the ability to also tune the other parameter DTC, DWC, DPL, Slide Control so it work in harmony with the new power and torque curve is also important.
I also found one interesting information...
I was asking to several tuners whether they could make the message on the dashboard to say Racing EVO like what happen after you upgrade to Ducati Akrapovic Map, and all of them say NO. They can only show Racing PRO but not Racing EVO.
But then, one of the tuner told me that they can show Racing EVO on the dashboard, but I got to upgrade my basic stock map to Ducati Akrapovic Map before further upgrade to this tuner new map.
That I believe shows that there are still some parameters that the tuners were not able to access (for now) and only Akrapovic with full Ducati factory support can fully access it.
This is why, if Ducati Akrapovic never release an official undertail exhaust with street map in the next year or so,
my solution would be to purchase the undertail SC-Project WSBK exhaust and combine it with the map from the Ducati Akrapovic Full System Exhaust (which means I also need to buy the Ducati Akrapovic Full System Exhaust). I haven't had the chance to be able to measure the pipe diameter differences between the SC-Project WSBK exhaust vs. the Ducati Akrapovic pipe diameter, but even if the SC-Project WSBK exhaust have larger diameter pipe, but they are also longer than the Ducati Akrapovic Full System Exhaust, so the differences in the back pressure should be minimal...
in fact, most likely the map from the Ducati Akrapovic Full System Exhaust is still a bit Rich in AFR (Air to Fuel Ratio) for safety/reliability purposes, so it should be almost (if not) an ideal fit in AFR values with the SC-Project WSBK exhaust in case the SC-Project WSBK exhaust actually allow faster/more flow due to the larger pipe diameter.
