Carbon Fibre DP Silencers

Are the carbon fibre DP Silencers simply CF version of the standard cans or are they a genuine performance upgrade?
The silencers I’m looking at are currently on a 620i

They are significantly lighter than standard cans, so would give some theoretical improvement in handling, braking and acceleration, though probably less noticeable than a crash diet for the rider.

The unbaffled "silencers" are less restrictive on gas flow, but without a change to air filter and preferably some better header pipes with a rolling road set-up of the fuel jetting you won't see a big change in torque or power.

they are totally different. i have some on mine. they are manufactured for DP by remus. they are pretty much straight through and mine dont have any obvious ways of fitting and securing a baffle however they are not stupidly loud. they are a lot quieter than the conti's i used to have. But doesnt have anywhere saying 'not for road use'

ha ha ha looking at that pic youd say it cant be a performance upgrade with them massive chicken strips! not making excuses but brand new tyres a week before the weekender and have only ridden long straight dual carriageways since.

that was an excuse wasnt it.

I would have them but would have to change the Ducati graphic to old school.

Pretty much stock S4. Ducati get different makers of exhaust even stock. Early monster were sil Moto and I think lafranchi.
