Does anyone know the number or model number of the DB Killer that is in the Akrapovic Titanium? It is off my 2019 MT-09
I have seen on ebay the V-TUV142 and the V-TUV203.
The one i am after is 86mm long approx.

It appears on the website the DB killer is not a separate part of the main exhaust body

Yes it is.
That said, this Akrapovic ti I have on it was also fitted to my 2014 model, I just swapped it to the new bike when I bought it.

It would appear the 203 is welded in, the 142 has a welded in captive nut and a bolt so the baffle is removable.
Found this on another site -

On the face of it, the Akrapovič db-killers V-TUV142 and V-TUV203 appear to be the same. But there are some differences between the VTUV142 and the VTUV203. The V-TUV203 is shorter. And the three pipes come out in a different way, see the photos. And of course the V-TUV142 has a welded-on nut. And not the V-TUV203.
Don't know exactly which db killer you need? Feel free to ask!
When ordering db killers, please note the following. If you need a dbkiller for an exhaust on the left side of the engine (seen from the rear) then you almost always need a db-killer where the article number ends with an L. The hole that secures the bolt is always on the inside (the side of the tire). With a left db killer, that hole is on the right, and with a right db killer, this hole is on the left. That bolt is not always included in the factory. But if that's the case, we'll add that bolt. Tip: Always tighten the bolt properly and check it after a ride. They vibrate quickly, and that is not covered by the warranty.
Another tip: We also supply that rubber cap that you use to seal the bolt hole in a carbon end cap. That is also in the webshop, search for P-GUV004. Mi

Thanks for that Dave. I went into the akrapovic web site again last night. And looked up the titanium exhaust for the 2019 MT09. When the exhaust came up, S-y9r8, i scrolled down and looked at the schematic new version, down the bottom of that it has a parts list which show the tuv203 baffle. Thats the one i want as i have already drilled mine out, chopped a bit off the end and put it back in with a bolt. I just want a new uncut one for the days i go out and want a quieter sound. Not that the uncut one is loud. It is just right. Not loud and not quiet.
