@@mrbear3888 Yeah, even with the Akrapovič exhaust, this sounds more or less the same. You should try the "KTM Remus Slip-On Silencer Black 125/390 Duke 2024", it has a separate chamber to replace the underbelly and then for a slip on, that way you can use any slip on of your choice and still the bike won't get awfully loud. Unfortunately, that is not available in my country, so I'll have to wait for local ones to arrive. Cheers! 😇
@@mrbear3888yeah, it sounds better then the exhaust the bike came with, but not enough of an improvement for the price tag. Although, it’s lighter, it looks way better and sound better at least a bit. Isn’t there a silencer that can be removed like on the side exhaust slip ons? All so on the 2023 and older you can hole saw cut the baffle out of the oem exhaust and it sounds awesome. I wonder if there is a way to modify the 2024 stock exhaust?
The reason behind the negligible sound is i think new emissions norms and its a good thing sound is not too loud because it can attract fines by local traffic police . I think akrapovic has definitely worked on improving torque and bhp numbers with this exhaust.
I think this is a nice upgrade. It looks nicer, is lighter, is stainless steel. An exhaust system upgrade does not need to make your ears bleed to be worth it.
Damn, some of these comments are brutal. I’ve done an exhaust upgrade video on the previous gen 390 duke. The secret to better volume is the chamber delete. Competition Werks sells a mid-pipe that deletes that horrible chamber. From there back you have the flexibility to pick whatever muffler that sounds best for your ears. Granted the CW mid-pipe was for last year’s model, but from what I can see in your video shots, I think it could fit. Keep your eyes out for the latest products. The camber delete doesn’t remove any catalytic converters so your ECU will stay happy.. While you’re still breaking in the engine, don’t be tempted to hear your exhaust scream… yet! Good video.😎👍
@@impreza99rs I don't plan to do it on this but the 390 is one of the bikes on my list for next! Every part that goes on this 125 goes onto the 390...but who knows what I'll end up with, could be 690 SMCR or something completely different 🙃
@@mrbear3888 yeah i understand, thanks tho, this video will help many of us new gen 3 duke 390 owners to understand the difference. Keep it up, looking forward to some great content, Cheers ! Ride safe.
@@mrbear3888I see a ixil side mount slip on . Don’t know what the ixil sounds like. I prefer the under belly if they can make it sound better. I can’t hear the new exhaust as good as you can live, but if it’s that lackluster I would try and get my money back if possible. I think here in the U.S. this exhaust cost $930.00 with tax. Thank you for your video. FYI Bagoros has some awesome 390 duke parts! Tail tidy, sliders etc.
Im a new owner too, its hard to find parts/aftermarket specially exhaust that would look like the stock one. I was about to pull a trigger on this akra too then i saw your vid... great vid keep it ip
Yeah it does look better, but it's a lot of $$$$ to shed for the carbon tip look. Hopefully we get a better sounding aftermarket exhaust soon. And sometimes audio from the video doesn't justify the sound.
Bro are you sure it has a removable DB killer? Like it seems like it still has the db in soo maybe try removing (if possible) to see if the sound is any different👀
I have a Duke 125 from 2022 with Akrapovic without DB Killer, I can tell you it's a big difference compared to the stock one ! And with my K&N filter, it's sound even better, too bad the price is so high for a little difference on the 2024 model. At least, it look better as you said, Ride safe and have fun man :)
@jonomasonILoveU I was choosing between the underbelly remus or the ixl exhaust. I' love how remus does it that you don't need the adapter to bolt on the passenger peg in which how ixl does it. Hard to decide because til now nobody posted video on TH-cam on how remus exhaust sounds like. All I see is for the ixl exhaust
Very significant small improvements since this is a sound compliant oem muffler.. the biggest change will be the weight which will make it fell quick.. best is the keep its stock and use the ind map, with the ambient temp sensor turned off ! Its pretty quick if you run 100octane !
Not able to comment link here, whenever I try to add comment with link, it gets deleted, tried multiple times. You can search for "ixil exhaust duke 390 2024" and the very first site from result.
I also got one of these installed in my 2024 duke 390 and it does sound pretty much that same as stock. It might be a bit louder at the top end, but I would say it's really not worth the money. Also after a couple hundred miles with the new slip on, two of the three welded brackets that hold the carbon tip in place broke sadly.
I have an Akra full system carbon racing line on my R3. I Spent around 2 Lacs on full system and piggy back ECU ( Race tuning )along with free flow air filter. one can only gain around 8% -10% when compared to the stock setting. so you spend around 40% of the machine cost and gain just 8%. Not worth unless you do track days every weekend.
I'm cheap, I'd just cut the OEM stock box open and drill bigger holes in the baffles and weld it back up =P, that new one doesn't sound $$$$ better than the stock one
I had bought Remus sports exhaust from ktm showroom for my Duke 390 gen3 which sounded same as stock as well it cost so much and it sounded shit was really disappointed, then again I bought an Indian exhaust called "Barrel exhaust" now it’s better taking out DB Killer sounds much much better than any high end exhaust for Duke 390 gen 3.
Es verdad el mismo sonido tarrudo y tanto trabajo crei q iva tener mejor sonido y eso q es 390 casi 400 definitivamente estos motores de 1 Cilindro siempre van a sonar igual
I don;t know ANYTHING about KTM which is why after hearing that Metallic Sound puts me off buying a NEW 390, You would;nt hear that Sound with any other MAIN Brand like Honda/Yam/Kaw. IF anyone KNOWS what it is and it;s a simple Service [Tappets] Tightening Part i would Buy one next week.

@@koelti13 the chamber makes the engine noise much lower. KTM engineers are forced to deal with the latest Euro restrictions.

Sounds almost the same , just a tad bit of a tone change. The akra exhaust for the older dukes had a night and day difference in sound.

Does the Remus sound good?
Any chance you can share with all of 2024 390 duke owners the sound of Remus ?

That metallic sound is very normal on the 390. It kind of sounds like the 2013 model after the exhaust

A question can you remove the DB killer or is it permanently installed? Lg -Heavy-
It doesn’t have a removable DB killer…
Nice video, very good !the sound i think its a little bit better, what about performance? you notice some inprovment?
You can cut that 2nd cat off. It's the part sticking off the end of the pipe that you inserted into the new exhaust. Right after the clamping area.
Nothing change except a little weight
It’s too expensive for 1.5 kg less … ☹️
How much it was @@mrbear3888
OK now I need to know how to remove the DB killer😂
How much did it cost?
This is how you can buy expensive exhaust to hear nothing to waste money 😂😂
Don’t start 😂😂😂
Ohhh man its same , not change oh my god 😂😂
so 900 euro's for the same sound :p
is the cat converter easily removable? cause the video clearly shows it installed in the front exhaust pipe (1:24)
Have you a new ECU mapping? The Lamda Gas is to Hot serie
Is it louder when accelerating compared to the stock one? Also does it sound sportier when worn in
It has a 10% deeper tone than the original. Not worth for the money I paid 😂
Try removing the DB killer, If its welded on then maybe get that cut out, it will make day and night difference
Hey bruh ✋ can you tell me how can I control tha vibrations on the handle bar of this bike ? It’s kinda annoying little can you tell me about that ?
Does it comes with full system because you're basically changing Muffler to be honest😂
Mid Pipe (With Cat) & Headers are still stock.
Can you do a flyby sound
hey the cat-con looks like it can be removed, remove it to enjoy unrestricted performance along with bassier sound
Hi, I know what you mean, the only problem I see it won’t be legal anymore (I’m pretty sure no one cares anyway 😂)
@@mrbear3888 yes let’s hear that exhaust with the filter removed. I’m sure it’s not too crazy load. Can’t wait

Did you ever find out what that rattling was? My 125 started doing it last night after 400 miles too...chain?
I didn’t unfortunately. I’ll have the first service soon then I’ll check again.
Any update on that noise? I have a 2024 ktm 390 duke. I purchased it new and it now has 200 miles. I hear rattle sometimes like loose metal.
Finally I find a test of this new Akra exhaust, thank you !
Please can you clarify if the DB killer can be removed and how it sound without it ?
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a db killer.

You can try the ixil header for this duke, that might make some good sound and save more weight.
Can you remove a bung from this bro? The low down one looks so good
Hi mate could you please tell me the model of the Akra exhaust, I’d love to put this on my duke as well, thanks bruv

You should change the header too, and upload another video later.

Hey Andi, I’ll double check all bolts and nuts 🔩 in case I missed some 😊 . Cheers
