Hi Leonardo, I’m afraid you’ll most likely need a DSP amp to convert the signal as the infotainment system is digital not analog & also won’t have enough power for the speakers & will need to be wired up to the additional speakers. I believe the door cards should be the same throughout the range. Considering mine wasn’t a HK so lacked the rear door card tweater so can only confirm that no wiring was in place to simply plug & play which likely means you’ll have to wire them up to the amp.

Great choice, I did & the new owner didn’t want to continue paying the annual cost. I was the 2nd owner of the plate, 1st owner had it for almost 20yrs since the Gen1! He also didn’t pay a number of NSW tolls that remain online unpaid. Did you put it on a Gen3?

Yeah mate a 25th Anniversary, I just bought one of these stands and was doing some research , what are the odds 😂

No problem, there by elite garage. They have an eBay shop; www.ebay.com.au/itm/403492487729?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=_XFdOZLITWO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=D5XQyhy4Qve&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Depends on your country of origin as local dealers import them, if local to Australia then can order direct or through VagGarage; www.vaggarage.com.au/products/xforce-vw-golf-r-mk8-varex-valved-cat-back-exhaust-system?srsltid=AfmBOorwNhhonUI-o63dTHKzsJ7I0eRel_k-5v8cOWT38uPskTMAjiLT

Yeah, all Termi slip on’s come with welded baffles that can’t be removed as nobody would buy the full system otherwise & just decat with link pipe. 😅 Sounds a lot deeper, true monster sound that I was looking for. 👍

Thanks for the view & comment. Check out my other video for full details.

I had STEK PPF DynoSmoke installed.

Lol, you’d finish a bottle before the end of the video. Certainly something I need to work on.

@@xanderworker5449 Agree, the manuals are published based on manufacturing recommendations however in practical testing Ducati themselves will always recommend 95, even prior to purchasing & during servicing to remind you of this. I have only ever used 98 & tuned bikes using this fuel however if you use a genuine Ducati shop they will advise against it.

@benwoodruff4466 Thanks for the detailed info! I also have a Monster S (2023), but no one passed along that detail to me. 😅 I was just told RON 95 minimum with a max 10% ethanol content. Here, Shell offers two V-Power options: Diesel and Petrol. Most of the time, the petrol’s octane rating isn’t listed, but when it is, it shows as 98-so I’m guessing 98 is the standard across the country.

@@LifebyDesign For my first naked I must say I’m impressed & the amount of attention it gets surprised me. I did want Cruise Control only for when I’m in a tunnel or unknown speed camera zone & the overpriced muffler it comes with as stock, you can’t remove the baffles. So for these reasons I’d give it a generous 8/10.

Unsure if your referring to the quad lock wireless charger or the OEM wireless dock that sits under that sits under that cover.

Thanks for the comment, I had to buy extenders but other than that, great.

Thanks for your comment. I generally ride with leathers and have never noticed excessive heat, even in traffic. These aren’t really meant for the city where heat would be a problem in the summer, much more suited on open back rounds. 👌

Maxton Design, think that one was version 5. Check their website.

@@benwoodruff4466 thank you

I presume you’re referring to the muffler crash protection, for the price I was very surprised at the quality; a.aliexpress.com/_mL1kw2U

It’s an absolute nightmare since they relocated the OEM DV. I ended up using a tuner garage in the end & they had great difficulty. You install from under the car, using an extension bit to get to the screws. Good luck 😅

Tell me about it, presenting online is certainly not my strong point. Just excited to share this great bike.

Another AliExpress special; a.aliexpress.com/_mqDHsuG

Cheers mate I will give them a try.

Only place I could find them was AliExpress. The URL extension to the advert has expired so just search the site. 🤝

Just traded my V4S for this. The Streetfighter is way to much for the streets where I ride ( tight curves) and I wanted something I could wail on. Dont do track anymore so……..

@@stevelesnick6268 but the street fighter is not a track bike at all! My Suzuki GSX R1000R whoops it’s ass. The Ducati is like a go to Starbucks bike and is comfortable to ride to work and stuff for me. Just test ride a GSX R1000R for the twisties and you will be amazed. And it’s actually kind of comfortable. I’m 6 foot about 245 pounds and it doesn’t hurt my back. The Monster does have a tighter turning circle in the street fighter though especially like really tight curves and slow stuff it was like a motor scooter agile. The Suzuki is still better though… just take all your corners in second gear in anything you ride & you’ll never have a problem.

Thanks for your comment, I paid just over $19k aud for the bike that included all on roads & was brand new, all the little extras has brought the cost to around $23k aud. A base Streetfighter V2 was around $25k so I remain happy with the purchase as it also generates a lot of conversion, a base Streetfighter would just be another Streetfighter in the car park. 😅

@ base huh? Lol the only “advantage” the SF V4S has is a wiz electronic bang suspension. I also don’t have a base model anymore…I put on an Arrow exhaust and had a BT Moto tune unlock the engine and turn off the Euro 5 Nannies from the environmental nutters! I am pushing almost 210 hp at the wheel. Ducati restricts power in 1,2,3,4 gears and turned that off as well. ;) The only bike that can beat mine is a science project Ninja H2 that is not very attractive.

@ Bike sounds great, I do hope you take that beast to the track as all that power is completely wasted on the road.

@@mrgr No, well certainly not for all the recalls I’ve been into the dealership for. You can always reset back to the original values if you were concerned. Highly recommend getting the tool though. 👌

@@wisdomlikesilence Roadbloc in Alexandria, Oliver is the only one I trust with my cars & bikes. 👌

@@benwoodruff4466 Okay, thanks Ben

Thanks for your comment, was looking at either the single titanium Mivv or SC SC1-S, my only issue with the SC is they use a two baffle system for Euro 5 so aren’t truly removed but the Mivv comes completely out. 🎶🎶🎶 I used a 15 Pro Max to film. This other video shows what I’m referring too, don’t fancy taking a drill to a $1k+ exhaust; ruclips.net/video/QBCGtScF0K8/видео.htmlsi=v_76Bywn4nSvWAW1

@@benwoodruff4466 why would you remove a silencer when you are already decat. Its plenty loud enough, if you want something louder you should have gotten a V4. and the sc1-s is ugly af, the twin crt-t looks and sounds alot better, especially in carbon

Thanks for your comment, in my other video you’ll find an in depth review. Link pipe is by Shift Tech in the US, I didn’t remap as such but did install the rapid race evo module that has a pre map installed and auto tunes as you ride, adapting to the conditions. ruclips.net/video/l1cw1iYqENM/видео.htmlsi=rY4ATQIxj2q-5_ND

Hi, all changes are saved within the OBD app so you can revert the changes. You are also encouraged to create a backup prior to any changes so you can simple load the backup file if you do something that really effects the car.

@@J-Rod73 Hi, thanks for your comment. Having only just bought the Bike I cannot comment as Sydney is similar to Florida in the summer but as it’s the winter riding the bike in traffic is not bad at all. Ducati are known to get quite warm but I can’t say it’s been uncomfortable when stuck in traffic.

@@benwoodruff4466 OK, thank you!

I have the ‘23 monster sp and ride in NYC on a daily basis. Once the temps get to 30c or 86f… city ride becomes unbearable. However, if you are on open highways going over 60 mph or 90 kmph, it’s fine.

@@riso2584 Thank you for that info. Do all naked bikes have this issue, or just the Monster?

@@J-Rod73 not sure, this is the only bike I’ve ever owned. But for what it’s worth, Ducati is notorious for running hot.

Thanks for the comment, not heard that before. Mine was definitely a faulty spark plug though.

Never heard of that.

It's the V4 engines that have rear cylinder deactivation not the V twins.

Thanks, I’m sure it was a random fault. They did say it was the first they had in where a spark plug had failed at 1k kms. 🤞 It’s smooth sailing here on out.

It is an absolute nightmare location, you can only access the ‘R’ diverter valve from under the car. To access the 3 screws to remove then reattach you need a variety of extension tools & a lot of patience. I had my local mod garage fit it and even they almost lost the will while installing it. Good luck, I do love the sound though. 🎶

Hi David, thanks for your question; www.prospeedracing.com.au/Cobb-Tuning-Covercraft-Sun-Shade-Subaru-WRX/STI-01-07-811620

They’ll love it, comfy enough, secure with good elevation. The backrest can be removed if it pushes into their back.

Thanks for your comment, I love the cover & highly recommend it. Quality is top notch & cannot complain about the price when compared to other known brands. Really cleans up the engine bay.

@@benwoodruff4466 Good to hear, the price is what's got me looking. Other option is the cobbs unit which locally are going for $444, but I find it a little tacky and cheap looking compared. Looking at the usp unit can be had for about $440 delivered. 👍

⁠I must say I saw the Cobb on a Tiguan yesterday along with a CF intake and looked very nice. You’ll be happy either way, the Cobb is a lot more in Australia. Good luck with your decision.

Not an infotainment issue as such although these are digital out only so you’ll need a DSP or amp with an inbuilt DSP for the speakers and/or sub. You may experience strange feedback or static front the front speakers particularly the front tweets when you rev the engine with no audio but this can be programmed out with a laptop.

@@benwoodruff4466 okay! Very good! Thanks for the info

Should have really made a follow up, was so much easier once I knew how & developed more confidence moving the ole girl around. 😅

You may see in my other video I went with a complete JL Audio set up, it absolutely pumps now. 👌

Very different systems, also depends where your located. If local to Australia I’d strongly recommend Xforce, if in the US it depends if Xforce are able to ship the system to your state due to emission laws. Also AWE are a basic catback system, Xforce have the benefit of complete control over the valves & sound either from the remote or upgraded Bluetooth option on the phone including the geo mode for those early morning starts. 😅

Thanks for your comment, with Xforce they have designed their system with the valve inside the centre piece of the rear muffler as the tips are interchangeable unlike other designs so you can swap them out for larger or different finishes, this single valve is then wired to the smart box in the boot then connected to the OBD port so you retain your race/comfort settings to open & close the valves. If you opt for the Bluetooth box that I highly recommend you can really customise the sound & set the geo location at home to open/close when close to home, a must once the full system is released to keep the neighbours happy. 😅 www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/XForce-ESVW13VKCS-3-Cat-Back-Exhaust-System-w/-Varex-Golf-R-MK8-22?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18462210209&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw57exBhAsEiwAaIxaZiZQsNpBx-5IQETFXCKVuujJZbQg1v7z9LOEZhHuLiUmkUoyuMw9rBoC-1kQAvD_BwE

Lol, why would you want to on a built motor like that but can vouch for their valved system & the geo mode to set a home location & close the valves for a quieter cold start.

MCM?

@@DuckBoots Ah, good ole Marty & Moog 👍 Hope it helped. 🤝

Thanks for your comment, when I PPF’d the car I had the chrome wrapped in gloss black vinyl. You can also opt for STEK DynoBlack PPF for added protection & lasts longer. 🤝

@@benwoodruff4466 In the same boat. Currently on the low torque. I spoke with Racingline last month and they hopeful that they'll be able to crack it this year. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the link, afraid it doesn't appear to link to anything.
