    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?

    Two things that would concern me is, the bike is designed with the DB killers in place and the fuelling is set to match, and if you were to get any engine issues the warranty could be void. I just ordered the full Akra system for mine as it’s a dealer fit and comes with a remap and keeps the warranty in place.

    I understand. But when you look at the size and shape of those DB killers, one starts wondering if they really could make a difference. They’re so small and so thin, and look nothing like other DB killers. Wouldn’t you agree?

    @@fabrizioubertibona8962 Hi, yes but if they make a difference to the sound then they make a difference to the back pressure, I just don’t want you to get caught out, my Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 diesel just spun it main bearings and Jeep are trying their hardest not to pay for the warranty, even accusing me of using the wrong oil when I’ve been in the motor trade for 36 years and bought the exact spec oil even down to the Jeep grade number, Ducati will be no different ☹️ It does sound better and nice though my friend 😉
