Can't help with with your question, but the Ixil comes as standard even with two db-killers. One in the link pipe and one in the muffler; and to comply with the euro 5+/5b requirements both must to be attached.
Hey Tom, to many variables here in the UK so can be confusing. Must be e marked and not excessive noise. But, if you find the right garage and you're not riding like an idiot, you'll be fine with a noisy exhaust. I've had a track exhaust on my blade for years, never had a problem.
So ultimately not much different; incl E-mark; my impression was, it's less restrictiv in the UK.
@Tom, In the UK there is no need for an exhaust to be homologated like Germany and Spain. If you get stopped by the police you are at the mercy of the officer on the day, a lot of them are ¨bike savvy¨ As @Griffo46 says the MOT test depends on the garage and they can be very leniant/undesanding. At one point I ran a GSX 1100E with a full race Vance&Hines exhaust without problems. Homologation is a pain in the butt
These bike checks primarily take place on routes that are very popular with riders, such as Black Forest or the Harz region. Personally, I haven't been stopped for a check even once in the last 15 years, so you shouldn't assume you'll definitely run into one. Since you're coming from the UK; meaning EU regulations don't necessarily apply to you; and as your bike isn't extremely loud; I would simply play dumb; and just say that everything on the bike complies with UK requirements.
