For being your 1st Panigale, you've picked a beauty..

The Panigale R comes with the titanium Akrapovic exhaust system...BTW: what exhaust cans do you have on there?
The R comes with the full Akrapovic system.
I love the ti pipes, the SS headers don't bother me so a full system is out of the deal. I don't like the butterfly flappers for noise emission so if a slip-on will eliminate that, that's prob the direction I will go. The pipes on there now just seems restrictive, maybe just me. The exit pipe diameter is small and doesn't have a db killer plug that I can pull out. I don't get it; I like the previous years where u get a real full system. Still trying to understand what's underneath as there aren't too many write ups on it yet. I think I'll have to start getting dirty.
Don't believe that the full-system maintains the butterfly flappers.. not 100% on Akra systems though.I don't like the butterfly flappers for noise emission so if a slip-on will eliminate that, that's prob the direction I will go.
The Termi slip-ons and Termi full-systems do not maintain them. DB killers can be utilized or removed at will.
The system on it is really good, minus the butterfly valves, it's pretty free flowing once open, and it's titanium!
Such a masterful addition to your fleet, sir. The paint scheme is my favorite of all the various 2015 super bike models. Such an aggressive look. A computer on wheels INDEED!!
Stock, the 2015 Panigale R comes with stainless head pipes, Ti collectors, to butterfly valve to Ti homologated/cat Akra mufflers. This years R doesn't include a race system like the 13 or 14. In order to open this system up you would have to purchase the Akra slip ons.
According to my dealer, the system is really free flowing once in gear (butterfly valve opened). So instead of shipping a complete race system, they made this stiock system to do both. Pass noise emission at idle and let it flow when on the gas. Now I'm wondering how much more improvement will a slip on make? Will it remove the butterfly?Stock, the 2015 Panigale R comes with stainless head pipes, Ti collectors, to butterfly valve to Ti homologated/cat Akra mufflers.

Not sure if California DMV does bike inspections, but probably not worth the effort.Pass noise emission at idle and let it flow when on the gas. Now I'm wondering how much more improvement will a slip on make? Will it remove the butterfly?
Considering the cost of new exhaust cans, the price tag most likely outweighs the improvement.
R Exhaust.....
Same end cans.
In the UK you just get larger diameter headers on the R.The R comes with the full Akrapovic system.
Same end cans.
If a Yamaha R1 can come with Ti headers there is no reason on this great earth this bike at 34k shouldn't have a full Ti factory akropovic race system and matched ECU. I am Sick and tired of all the ways Ducati has been cheating us on special edition models. Especially the R. Where are our full carbon fairings? Where is the real paint instead of just crappy decals. Where is the race bread motor, more so than just Ti valves and flywheel. Sure it's still a great bike, but I want more for my money. Guess that's why you can buy brand new left over 2014 1199R for 22k.

I've been told their very practical when dealing with customer complains.
Best of luck to you.. let us know how it works out.
Haha. It's all true. sorry you somehow feel threatened by it.You should write Ducati North America a strong letter and tell them how you feel.

I guess if you don't feel you are getting your monies worth, buy the S or base model and use that saved cash to make it the bike you would like, because what you would spend on aftermarket goodies, you'll lose in depreciation buying the R model.If a Yamaha R1 can come with Ti headers there is no reason on this great earth this bike at 34k shouldn't have a full Ti factory akropovic race system and matched ECU.

In all the prior R models, I've never quite seen the $10K-$17K difference over the S version, other than bragging rights....
We feel the same, as I have already done as you say with my 1199S.I guess if you don't feel you are getting your monies worth, buy the S or base model and use that saved cash to make it the bike you would like, because what you would spend on aftermarket goodies, you'll lose in depreciation buying the R model.

Feel threatened by what? ..sorry you somehow feel threatened by it.
Superleggeras are a bargain right now. If you act quick, you can still pick new ones up at great prices.If a Yamaha R1 can come with Ti headers there is no reason on this great earth this bike at 34k shouldn't have a full Ti factory akropovic race system and matched ECU.
