You’re right; exhaust sound is an integral part of the riding experience for many motorcyclists. Some riders prefer a deep, burly exhaust note. At the same time, others prefer a high-pitched whine or a more subdued sound. And some riders customize their bikes with aftermarket exhaust systems to achieve the desired sound.

Impact
However, it’s worth noting aftermarket exhaust systems can have a significant impact on a motorcycle’s performance, as well as its emissions. In some cases, an aftermarket exhaust system can improve a bike’s power and torque, but in other cases, it can decrease performance or cause issues with the bike’s fuel injection or other systems.
Additionally, some jurisdictions have laws or regulations restricting the use of aftermarket exhaust systems that are too loud or do not meet specific emissions standards. So, riders must research and ensure any aftermarket exhaust system installed is legal and safe for their particular bike and riding conditions.
Two new exhaust
Exan has introduced two new slip-on options for the Ducati Monster, which are affordable and street-legal compliant with Euro 5 regulations. Riders must choose exhaust systems that meet noise and emissions regulations to ensure they operate their bikes safely and within the law.
The X-One slip-on from Exan is an excellent option for Ducati Monster riders looking to upgrade their bike’s exhaust system. The oblique styling of the stainless-steel exhaust pipe is a nice touch, and the three available finishes – black, satin steel, carbon, and titanium – should give riders plenty of options to choose from to match their bike’s aesthetics.
X-One slip-on mounts to the Monster’s existing manifold, making installation straightforward for riders who want to do the building themselves.
Kit
And, with all the necessary hardware and components included in the kit, riders should be able to get their new exhaust system up and running in no time.
The X-Black Ovale from Exan is an option for riders seeking a more compact and aggressive exhaust system. Modelled after pipes found on Ducati’s racing machines, the X-Black Ovale will surely give the bike a more sporty look and sound.
X-One and Black Ovale
While the smaller size of the X-Black Ovale may result in a louder exhaust note compared to the X-One, it’s reassuring to know it’s still street-legal and compliant with Euro 5 regulations. And, like the X-One, it’s a slip-on system, meaning installation should be quick and easy for riders.

Ultimately, the choice between the X-One and X-Black Ovale may be personal preference and the rider’s specific needs. Both options from Exan offer outstanding performance and aesthetic upgrades for the Ducati Monster, and riders should choose the one best meets their needs in terms of sound, performance, and style.
Exan is relatively affordable, with the X-One costing 382.50 Euros and the X-Black Ovale slightly more expensive at 391.50 Euros. These prices translate to about $423 and $434, respectively.
Riders can easily purchase either option through Exan’s official website.
