That's still debatable .
1299S home made slip on w/RB and Ducati map
Help Support Ducati Forum:
It's a prototype, it works and did what the intend was. Free up the exhaust at max capacity,
Map calibration from the RB module and feel the performance and drive ability change.
Did it on a sunday and my mig shorted causing the rough welds.
Better looking system, possibly two forward exit mufflers and whatever else is the winter project.
For less than $300 cost I will put it up against any acrapovic slip on.
Any suggestions as to what I can do with the $3500 left from the exhaust fund?
Maybe downpayment for the 2017 V4,VVT.... Panigale?

I don't know man. Kudos for the effort, but you do realize that more goes into an exhaust then just welding some pipe together?
There is a lot of testing and optimization that goes into those things. The engineering behind it is one of the factors that drives up costs. I would have rather seen you reverse engineer a Termi or Akra system then just weld up some pipes.

I can tell you how you could have saved $300 .
As an engineer I know a couple of things about R&D.
For the exhaust at least consideration is on the back pressure, tuning paulses, packaging, heat, material, sound quality and compliance, ease of disassembly etc. feedback from marketing and accounting for profitability index, deals with manufacturers and more.
If money and time were no objects I would buy every system available and keep swapping them depending on whatever.

Well, arrow, Austin racing and competition werkes have quite the same principle ... Easy
Is that $300 Australian Wilkson?
Don't look at the tree and miss the forest.
It was something I wanted to do to explore some of the bike's potential.
It worked for me. I proved that I can do it, love the sound and stepped up performance and when I ride I don't look down to see my exaust.i don't race, don't pull wheelies, and most of the time I obey the traffic laws.
I would love to see others do their own work and give me some ideas how to do it better.

What testing and engineering have you done for any one of the things you wrote about in that post?

I would love to know more about your research and development also..
Pray do tell...

I personally seen you breaking the law speeding down a highway. Lol
Either way, that can be cleaned up to look good easy enough if wanted.
Exhaust design is tricky. Been building street,drag and road race cars for a long time and exhaust design still baffles me.

Yes BrisDuc, the panigale is an Italian beauty. Design and SS arm was the reason I bought it. Read the post and notice words such as "prototype, performance, sound, testing".
When I am satisfied with the performance and sound, I will build a slip on with Inconel 625
TIG welded and carbon fiber muffler/s with turn down tips.
Meanwhile, those NOT interested in performance results can debate which is the best wax
for Ducati's

Seems like we have a feisty one here? One would expect a pro designer to know how to weld and prototypes to look better than production models... I would love to wax people trolling here though. Where is ArseHammer again?
