Thank you for proving my point. You don't get a replacement part until they got the old one. In your case (and mine) you had to make two trips and wait for the new part to get to the dealer. Ducati didn't drop ship a new warranty part to your house and say, send us the old one if you feel like it.

Sorry didn't mean to get of track, but i'm back and in full ignore more lol.

A dealer isn't Ducati you brain dead ....... They are an independent business that is licensed to sell and service Ducatis, hell of a difference. The part doesn't need to be shipped to Italy while your bike is sitting there incapable of being used for weeks.

Honestly, you must be brain dead for not to comprehend the difference.

One involves a part being replaced at the same time the old part is removed.

The other involves removing the part at your expense, shipping it at your expense, waiting weeks, then waiting some more for AR to ship the replacement, then reinstalling the new part on your own dime again. And during the waiting period you weren't able to use your bike.

Those are completely different ways of handling an issue. AR chose the scumbag way.

Frosty you forgot to mention that Ducati [to my knowledge] does not go on public forums & behave like a 5 year old with temper tantrum issues.

Hi

wow a question from a normal sensible guy, thank the lord.

Yes of course we would ship to our USA stockist if requested.

Thanks for your comments, our system is the best available and does indeed sound fantastic, looks and performs fantastically.

WAfatboy failed to mention that we ship out a replacement part with express UPS as soon as we receive tracking info that the customer part is on route to us.


Burnsy called me and advised i leave the forum!

well i have to say that you all had the chance to talk and share directly with a manufacturer which is a rare opportunity which ever way you look at it.

You persist to simply insult me and simply do not read posts but attack when ever you can.

As you feel this way then yes i am probably better off leaving, never to return and let you all get on with it.

The support emails and pm's i have received are very much appreciated and show just how much you bad few are truly hated on this forum. Feel bad about yourselves guys.

d1098Man, Rich 'failed to mention' that I had to ask for that to happen :D His opening gambit was for me to send the part back to be repaired, after he had received the failed part.

If you decide to purchase be sure not to discuss your purchase on the forum unless you are prepared to be censored and generally abused for your opinions.

Unfortunately my bike's been off the road because the exhaust broke :)
 
Actually I saw a locally fabricated exhaust today that was making better power than both the AR and full Termi. They used the full system headers and fabricated a 2-1 leading to a carbon skinned canister. It's a prototype but they will be putting it into limited production. Very loud!

The point is that by using an existing set of headers, taking away the mufflers, and adding an end can, and you have an exhaust that can will create great power, be a lot lighter than stock, and sound amazing. They have a 3D laser scanner that can work out the exact dimensions of an object (like a pipe) and convert it into a computer file to enable the fabrication of copies.

Was this a one-off or are they planning on producing it???

I'm off for a spin, will check in later to see if the thread is worth my time!

Have you considered using a website to provide updates to your product development like all the reputable manufacturers do? That way you dont have to put up with feedback from pesky consumers or customers. Here's a link to one that might work.

Please keep us updated about this exhaust. With better power do you mean top end or low/mid range? Pictures would be great to have.
