Hi, Issac, I ordered from the USA, gonna try to drop a link for it, but I've seen there are some European manufacturers are making some as well. So there is a link shift-tech-carbon.com/onlineshop/product_info.php?products_id=3371
I will definitely be buying a decat system for mine now. Another great video. Plus those stickers would look awesome, I can’t believe you are giving them away
I hope you are not getting in trouble with a decat system :D It's a cheap way to improve the sound of this lovely bike. I have some interesting ideas for the looks of this bike, just it will take some time before it will be done, but I hope in a couple months we will see it.
Thanks for the new video man! Just traded in my Aprilia Tuono for a new Desert X. Crash bars and skid plate are installed, I will order the Barkbusters and the Peruin moto top luggage rack from your last video. Cant wait to ride it, but its freaking cold here in Canada.😃
Hey, thanks for the comment. It's cold over here in Norway as well, but I had to go for a spin and try this new setup. Not gonna lie- love the sound now even eas a little afraid to go past the cops :D You gonna have a lot of fun with this bike. I think this is the best power and weight ratio for bikes with around one litter capacity. What kind of luggage system are you thinking of? And are you planing to go traveling with it?
@@nemoltu Hey Nemo, I' m planning to travel with the Desert X. The first trip will be in June aprox. 7000Km in Canada with 2 guys. I would like to try my Kriega soft bags on it. I cant beleve that catalic converter is 5 kgs. Its a huge weight savings to throw that thing in the trash.😀 I have to do something with the sound too, after the Tuono the Desert x sound like a scooter. I used Open Flash Tablet on my Aprilia to upload Race program to te ECU to compensate the aftermarket muffler.(higher air flow etc.) what solutions are available for this bike? Maybe power commander and take it to the dino to reprogram the fuel-air mixture? I know if you buy the OEM full system the dealer flash your ECU @ no charge.
@@bognarphotography1 If you gonna do just a cat delete, the guys who make it, state, that no reprogramming is needed. I'm not sure about the options right now, but I've seen there are some. Not doing anything for mine, for now, cause the bike feels more alive and not more underpowered, which would indicate the engine running lean with way too much air in the mixture. I'm not an expert on that, but willing to learn it hard way. Sounds like a lot of fun that 7K kilometers trip with your buddies. I bet Canada jas a lot to offer?
Nice channel. Thanks for sharing your work. I'v done same decat, but looking at tuning options for the DX and there aren't many. Did you know of any that are DIY OBD2 ECU flashes?
Not sure if you found an answer, but there is a handheld tuner option from BT-Moto called Stage 1+ for the DesertX and Multistrada V2. Pretty expensive but not that much more compared to a one-off flash that some shops charge.
Hi Nemo. Really like you channel😀 I did my Arrow decat on my Desert X a couple of month ago and i did notice some silencer damping/glassfibre on the bike after so fingers crossed that the silencer can coupe with it. But i would really like som stickers😁 keep up the great work👍
Thank you, Kim. I hope after that fiber-damping snow on the bike, Desert X not gonna get any louder :D. Did you do any ECU work on yours after the Cat delete? Adding you to the drawing list and good luck! I think I will figure out some random picking way on the 15th of March.
I hope so as well🔥 I have read that some people have burnt the muffler after decat but no map-tune for me. Still waiting for good options in Sweden. Keep up the good work and thank you for adding med the list👍
Thank you, Daniel, not sure about the heat yet, cause even though I took it for a couple hours' ride, it was with some stops plus the temperatures over here are just a little bit over the freezing :D But I usually don't have problems with the legs getting hot, maybe, because I ride with my adventure gear? It was never an issue for me. Will add you to the stickers drawing.
Thanks, I like this sound, but not sure if I am gonna like it after a few days of a long trip :) They say, that you don't need ecu flash with this upgrade, but... I have a DNA filter fitted as well, so I'm thinking about getting it done. Not that many options over here in Norway, so will have to look for some over in Europe.
@@nemoltu it will run lean once the cat is gone as it can move gases out faster and bring in more air from air box as you've removed the restrictive catalytic converter, the ecu if like other bike make upto 5-10 percent changes in the fueling parameters as they can adapt but it will be lean fuel mix now, if you cab get ecu tuned then look into a power commander and get a custom map made on a rolling road
@@Rust_valley_adventures I know what u saying and that brings some concerns to me. I am checking the options and will see what can I come up with. Took a bike for a spin and it really became alive now. Wish I had as many options as guys in USA or UK have with all the tunning geeks. It's a little dark forest for me.
@@nemoltu No plans too, I like the factory sound, looks, slimness, and I'm not after more power. Just want to loose weight. I have a complete new high exhaust on my T7. The DX muffler mount is protected and looks good.
As I've checked with a few decat pipe manufacturers it does not need ECU flush/remap. But I've changed my OEM filter as well and it might be a good thing to do so. However, I am not gonna do it for now, but will be checking for the options. Took a bike for a couple hours' ride and- hold my beer :) Rides awesome and sounds really aggressive.
Ok you being there and us listening to a recording is different. Do you really notice the sound difference riding it. I've had a few Ducati's now and with the whole exhaust changed, wow. Nice. Got told its £1900 but that I guess is a big exhaust but with a cat still. Or is it?
Oh yes, you definitely can hear a difference even when you are riding. it has a lot of banging noise when downshifting on higher rpms. There is a video on my channel with the sound when I'm passing by. Talking about an option from Ducati for termingioni full exhaust system- it is like 3K euros and it is without CAT, so not a road-legal, so as mine now.
Hi, sorry I missed your question. It feels a little warmer from the seat, but I don.t think the engine get's any warmer. I can't state anything too much about the ventilator, cause I don't really remember how was it with the CAT in. Since the job was done during the winter.
I am still not sure about the Cat delete mod, maybe after my baby is born I'll invest money in that, for now I meed to save up. :)) Also, have you checked with the Ducati dealership, some forums mention a new map might be needed after this.
I don't think Ducati has nor wants to do anything with the aftermarket upgrades. I think that the ECU remap is an option, but I'm not sure if am I gonna do it now. Cause the bike feels even sharper than before, that would indicate, that the engine is not running lean, but this is debatable.
WaWaWeeWa! That does sound great in the vid with the decat. How’s it sound at highway speed, is it too loud? I’m thinking of purchasing this my DDX. Thanks
It's a little too cold right now to try that :) But I still try for a little bit. It is on the louder side, but it's not annoying. When I approached the cops car in the city I was not sure if I wanna ride too close to them :) Should I put you on the stickers giveaway list?
Thanks for the video Nemo. I will order this link pipe for my dx. There is also a Chinese brand made by 304 stainless steel on ebay at half price of this one you shared. Have you got something to say about Chinese one? Good or bad? Because unlike yours, the Chinese one consists of two parts. I would be glad if you share your opinion.
Hey, Hansey, it's kinda not easy to say something about the things you haven't tried. Some things made in China are not bad or even good quality, so you have to make your own decision on that one. But if the price is right I wouldn't hesitate and would of go for it. In the end, what are you gonna lose? A hundred or so bucks if it's not gonna work, but I don't see what should not work, strangely though I'm interested in why did they made it from two pieces since one piece works just flowles.
@@nemoltu I don't know why two pieces. Maybe instalation is more easy than one peace. May not necessary to take off the front pipe. You are right I'm gonna give a chance to Chinese guy. Thanks for your answer. Have good rides.
Hi, thank you. I do agree that it would be too loud in your mentioned countries. I rode some time with it myself and it's kinda on the loud side. When it will get warmer I will ask some of my friends to ride it so I can hear it from the side. Now it's a little too cold for everybody, so I get to ride myself :)
Hi, did you find installing the decat caused your bike to pop on deceleration? If it did, did the ECU compensate for it? Just installed one on mine, with the standard muffler, and it pops a lot on deceleration. Thanks, Dave.
Hey, Dave, yes I am getting a lot of pops after the deCaT. It was quite disturbing at the beginning, but later on, I stopped noticing it. And when I was traveling via dirt road across Europe last summer I don't even remember if was it still popping. I guess it was, but I've got so used to it that wasn't even hearing. My Desert X ran 14000 kilometers with this setup and everything works fine still. Would of been interesting to remap ECU and feel the difference though. Not sure what you mean with the ECU compensation. Cheers, Nemo.
@@nemoltu Thanks for the reply, most ECU (Engine Control Unit) can make small adjustments as you ride the bike. New cars and bikes these days do it all the time. They can compensate for different fuel octane ratings and other minor engine adjustments, and they do it automatically without you noticing. But they are limited in what they can do. Nothing beats a good dyno tune. I ended up taking it off and will get a full system and a dyno tune at a later date.
Sveikas, šiaip tai reikėtų. Nes pradžioje jaučiasi toks lagas, sukant rankeną. Tačiau originaliame ecu mape yra Hp dipas pačioje pradžioje apsukų, o jis dabar dar labiau jaučiasi. Be to žeminant bėgius gerokai šaudo. Su tokiu būt baisoka važiuoti į vakarų Europą :) Aš, kol kas, nieko nedariau su ECU, bet, jaučiu, darysiu ateinančią žiemą.
No, Luigi, I don't have anything to measure with, but it is loud. Not crazy loud, but maybe a little bit too loud to ride by the cops :D But I love the way it sounds and the small explosions when you are downshifting with quick-shifter.
Hi Mr Nemo, first of all ....great video once again; secondly...I don't have a Desert X yet !!!, so don't send me those stickers...to Australia too expensive..hehe !!! Now, after fitting decat, do you have to re-map them engine ? Just curious... Regards from Australia
Hey, Stephenian, Thank you and I hear ya on the stickers deal :D Will hold them to someone who would use it :). About the engine remap. Probably I should, not really sure about it. A lot of people would say yes, but... I used to own a Yamaha tenere Z660 and in order to get all the extra power it had, it was necessary to open up the breath-in capabilities. After doing that even adding an aftermarket exhaust the remap was not needed. Gonna feel how the power gonna feel and will check the spark plugs- if they are too clean that means, the fuel mixture needs to be richer and a remap needs to be done.
Hi Olivier, That is a question I'm asking myself, cause my straightforward answer would be YES and quite big. But a friend of mine says it might be that it feels that way because of the louder sound the brain gives you this fake impression. But I don't think so. It does feel stronger and much sharper. Even the wet mode doesn't feel that safe anymore 😄
Great video... Is it really legal where you live to remove the catalític converter? Those decalcs look really nice. This is the look of the old cagiva.. Would look great on mine 🤣
I know that look of the awesome Cagiva Elephant and that's why I was thinking to go that way. Just my mind and feelings did a U-turn and I think I came up with a much better design. And now it's a good opportunity to give back to the friends of this channel. Talking about the CAT, well, let's put it that way- thank god I'm not in Austria. :)
Hey, this is a very recent upgrade, last Sunday- February 25th. I managed to ride only for a couple hours in just a little above-freezing temperatures, so my feelings about the changes might not be very accurate. It feels much sharper and it looks like released some extra powers. That might be a wrong feeling, cause the sound is much richer and that might give me a wrong impression, but I highly doubt it about just the sound impressions. As long as it does not feel restricted- I'm good, cause restriction would mean a lean fuel mixture.
@@nemoltu Also, what made you go to decat only and not the full racing, besides the money, obviously :)? I am really thinking of getting the full racing termi exhaust but the main reason to do it was to improve the sound, performance second. Are you noticing performance gains?
@@nemoltu Also, please create a vid with the sound on the bike, when coasting, when accelerating, etc! I've watched this over 10 times to get a better grasp of the sound!
@@servomekanism8505 The reason I went just with the decat, is cause I did not want too much of a sound increase. For example, Honda Africa Twin has a perfect sound just straight from the dealership, in my opinion. I wanted just some lower sound, cause stock sounds really awful for my taste. I will use this motorcycle for long travel and that's what actually I am preparing it for. Plus I still have all homologation of euro5 on my exhaust (just in case). About making the video with the sound- I will do that, thanks for the suggestion, but that's gonna happen much later, cause now the winter in Norway struck hard again.
Hi, it's way too cold to ride in Norway right now, cause temperatures dropped below zero. And in a couple hours, I rode after installation I didn't pay attention to the heat. To be honest, I did not have too much of an issue with the heat even before, but I'm a little concerned that the exhaust might get much hotter right now. Will see when will start proper riding.

I have a DX and would love the stickers, at least some of them!
You are first and I will put you on the list. If will be more takers I will make a pick on the 15th of March. T
@@nemoltu I also don't have Insta. Thanks!
@@nemoltu Also, what made you go to decat only and not the full racing, besides the money, obviously :)? I am really thinking of getting the full racing termi exhaust but the main reason to do it was to improve the sound, performance second. Are you noticing performance gains?
@@nemoltu Also, please create a vid with the sound on the bike, when coasting, when accelerating, etc! I've watched this over 10 times to get a better grasp of the sound!
@@servomekanism8505 The reason I went just with the decat, is cause I did not want too much of a sound increase. For example, Honda Africa Twin has a perfect sound just straight from the dealership, in my opinion. I wanted just some lower sound, cause stock sounds really awful for my taste. I will use this motorcycle for long travel and that's what actually I am preparing it for. Plus I still have all homologation of euro5 on my exhaust (just in case).
About making the video with the sound- I will do that, thanks for the suggestion, but that's gonna happen much later, cause now the winter in Norway struck hard again.
Hello again.
Quick question, how's the engine heat now that there is no cat., any change?
Hi, it's way too cold to ride in Norway right now, cause temperatures dropped below zero. And in a couple hours, I rode after installation I didn't pay attention to the heat. To be honest, I did not have too much of an issue with the heat even before, but I'm a little concerned that the exhaust might get much hotter right now. Will see when will start proper riding.
@@nemoltu thank you for the reply and the information.
Looking forward for an update.
Ride safe when the temperature goes up. :)
@@ciocanelwar Thank you and stay safe!
Any update here?
Are those stickers fitting on the KTM Super Duke R ? 😂
Yes! You have to trim a bit 😃🍺
Puikus patobulinimas, gražus garsas👌Kur planas šiemet explorinti?
Sveikas, dėkui, kiek gal ir per garsus tas patobulinimas:D Bus kiek neramu į Europą lįsti. šiais metais nusimato gan galinga kelionė, bandsiu explorinti TET ir jais pasiekti Nordkapp, o vėliau leisti žemyn iki Lietuvos, kur pasikeisiu mocą ir leisiuos tolyn, tik dar nežinau ar link Portugalijos ar link Graikijos. ir kiek įmanoma daugiau viską daryti TETais.
Wow, big plan! I love it! Good Luck! See you on Road! ✌️
I can use the stickers on Kawasaki?😁
Yes you can! On a seat and high beam lights 😃💪💪
Cooool Mann

Sorry, it was given away and there is a video about that, but I might do something like this another time again, so, stick around.
Kur LT vazinejat? Gal kartu ratuka
Labas, Tomai, aš Lietuvoje labai retas svečias. Gyvenu pats Norvegijoje ir pro gimtinę prasuku tik keliaudamas trumpom akimirkom. O ką pats vairuoji? gal kada ir susikryžiuos tie keliai?
@@nemoltu desertX tik ne rally…
@@tomaskarlonas Tai mano taip pat ne Rally, Tik gal dabar jau šiek tiek panašesnis į Rally, po paskuutinių žaisliukų prikabinimo.
