Personally I agree & Rich's post was way outta line considering the hassle you've been through.
WA fatboy
it still goes as said that you did not read my original post correctly and for some reason surmised i was blaming the install not the part!
Read things as you wish that is up to you.
You other lot of sad no hopers do as Trauma GO AWAY
You are not welcome on a new thread soon to be started and will all be ignored by everyone that has just about had there fill and are sick to death of your pointless antagonistic crap.
WA fatboy you are welcome to the thread and i do appreciate your support but can not understand why you are so 2 faced! emails read very differently to your posts and if you like i will paste and copy your emails across onto this forum!

Not your forum, so not your thread. Type away with your insults, lies, whatever you want, it won't change your mannerisms. You should be banned from this forum as well. This is very likely your last Internet podium, and you continue to abuse it.
Want to keep me off your 5th thread? Stop bad mouthing forum members/competitors, and don't tell lies. Simple.

You know what Rich I was contemplating the AR system along with other options but based on what I I've seen on here, I would not buy single bolt off you. As a Brit who has worked in the US hospitality business for over 20 years your lack of proper communication & being able to talk to them in a civilized manner is something you need to work on.
Just a guess but I'm thinking there are many Ducati & not just Panigale owners who will feel the same.

Emails with Rich
Don't forget to read from the bottom up.
Will post more of them as I fish them out of my email. The only thing I have edited out is my phone number, email and surname. As I said I kept the comms business like but now I'm being called two-faced.
Nice work!

Hi Rich,
The sessions with my bike that we did were within the time it took to fit the new exhaust. The run for the other Pani was done within 60 min of my first run also.
I know there's no tune but have you looked at where the torque hole is on the untuned chart, its more like 7-8k? Is that what you'd expect from an un-tuned system?
Lets see how we get on with tune and then I'll make a call on the RB module.*

Hi
yep its a shame your not local to us
The pani is a weird beast to dyno and you simply Must know what you are doing and have experience with them to get the results which ever exhaust system you have on.
I would get you high 180's i can confidently assure you of that.
The rb you need is the race module at £640 with free shipping. If you don't se the results from that i will happily refund you and have it back.*
The exhaust with 1 insert is a great compromise. No inserts is to loud. Both inserts is also ok for power.
Can you confirm your power results same day runs with and without the AR exhaust?
cheers

Hey Rich
Thanks I will be sure to pass on those settings.
One baffle is bearable in terms of db and the pipe,sounds great. Jury out on heat but. Really want to avoid a heat shield so hoping tuning will make it run cooler.
Have to say though I didn't expect to go backwards, even without a tune but the result was comparable with the other 1199 with full Termis they had in the shop that ran almost identical numbers as mine with the AR system. I just don't see us picking up much more than 10hp, if that.
Which RB module do I need to get the best results? Where does the module sit on the bike? How much will it cost me? Would irk me to have to shell out more money at this stage of the game.
Anyway tomorrows another day.

I would also be very surprised if the tuneboy works for the Panigale. Rapidbike spent a lot on development to make it work on the pani. Power commander have all but given up on it so what hope do tuneboy have.*
With the rb we map very precisely and always get the gains we publish, bike to bike

Hi Rich,
The install was pretty straight forward and we'll be tuning over the next couple of days.
We've seen no increase in performance fitting the pipe pre-tune and I've been re-looking at the dyno results you published.
You posted one chart that shows a bike that was essentially the same as mine with Termis and upmap, and on your dyno it made 177hp.
You also posted a chart with AR and no RB mapping which made 182hp.
Can you suggest the settings we should be running so that we could find some more comparable numbers.
Thanks

No problem. I'm getting it professionally fitted by a Ducati specialist I trust, ProTwin (my dealer won't install). They are also going to tune it.

Rich
Looks like I won't get in until 6th May
Todd Paterson from Bunbury Dyno was also at the dyno session though and this was his email to me just now:
-------------------------
Hi Carlo, I was there when it was on the dyno. It produced the most that we could get it to make. The fueling is perfect and it got ignition timing changes to make it say the highest result that we could.
Does it feel much nicer to ride and is the down low to mid range feel better to you ?
I cant do it tomorrow cause Weekends can be very busy for me with the kids and bike racing etc.
Maybe I can sqeeze it in next week some time if you like for a power run so that you get the higher reading and to compare dyno to dyno but as far as tuning goes, I think this is as good as we all can get it at the moment.
------------------------------
I'll run it and keep my fingers and toes crossed.
Cheers

Hi Carlo
if the air is blown in correctly then it will produce the figures that Copias bike produced. A before and after test AR vs Termi would be a good idea, as we tested.
That thread is a lost cause as the ignorant amongst us decide to only read the results from you and not the remarks from the other tuners and bikes such as copies!
You mention a refund!
We stand by our results but i am sure you will have absolutely no difficulty selling your system on if you are at all unhappy with its class leading looks, sound, weight and performance.

Hi Rich
I am going to go Bunbury. They have dyno'd several 1199 so they can compare pretty easily. I am pretty sceptical that the air is going to make that much difference but as I said I'm going to give it a go.
Thanks
Carlo

Hi Carlo
I See your results on forum.
You really do need to go to the other dyno and get the air blown into the front.
With all due respect to the tech that told you the exhaust in his opinion did not perform better than termi slips, he simply has no idea what he is saying and certainly does not have any relevant data to substantiate that statement. We spent over 12 months with this system making sure it out performs everything else!
Please let me know if I can be of any further help to you

Hey Rich
Was delighted to see the guys in Sydney extract some great numbers from the pipe. I think they'll be using that as a starting point for my bike so I should be killing it soon!
When I get my bike back I'll be sure to bring the thread to a close with a bang.

I will email across some run charts from our system for your tuning guys to reference from for them mapping your bike.
I can tell for sure when mapped correctly it will power Weelie in 4th gear making insane power
Rich
Hi Rich,
Was great to ride the bike with the system on yesterday, the sound is quite unique. I suspect it might get a tad bassier when tuned as well.
Thought you might like to know that such is the interest the guys from BunburyDyno are actually traveling the 250km up,to Perth to work with my guys at ProTwin to tune the bike so I'm confident that with the two best ducati guys in the state we'll get a great result. These guys respectively build and tune race and drag bikes.
Hopefully they'll pump the air into the intakes so we can get some numbers comparable to yours and put that one to bed! Whatever happens it will be beautifully tuned and then I will take it to BunburyDyno and get them to just run it for a comparison.
Withe regards to the heat shield any ideas of what this will look like/be made of? I think it's safe to assume I'd like one please.
Anyway, excited to 'feel' the result next week.
Cheers
Carlo
Ok we'll make sure we get as close as we can buy ram air.

Hi Carlo
The problem is with a straight through free flowing exhaust you must match the fuel air mixture coming in to how fast the exhaust can get rid of it. Without the air blown at the bike simulating the road or track you will never get accurate figures.
If you map the best you can but keep it on the rich side once you ride the bike the power will be there but will probably not show as high on the dyno.
We gain torque over stock and the termi options at all points so, no, it is not normal to have a dip compared to the termi graph. That is the area we spent months designing the exhaust to help get rid of.
Your dyno guy needs to follow the instructions I gave you to dyno the bike correctly.
Let me know how you get on.

We have also got a few mods to test over the next few weeks, it will be interesting to see the results.
1 simple test you can try out is use the left side insert only but insert it into the right side with the disk end in first. This may also produce a different result from increased back pressure.
It is a concern that bracket fractured on Inconel. Before we send the new part we will brace it as we don't want that to re occur.
We will get it sent out end of the week.
Let me know tomorrow once you shipped your part back

Just fyi - We've also managed to extract some more power across the range but I'll wait until we have the pipe back and we've run it with the baffle on the right hand side to see if it cuts out that hole as well.
It should tell you something that I'm not just chucking the Termis back on at this stage

If you were able to replace that section of the pipe we could parallel process this and I send you the broken piece back at the same time. Frankly I think it needs replacing not repairing as there are hairline cracks that have developed around the joint.

One more. The guys here suggest that this was always likely given the way it was welded - which makes it likely to happen again with the same weld?

Hi Rich
We just stripped the bike down to swap the baffle over to the right and we've found that the part of the pipe which has the baffles in has cracked where the mount is welded.
Will you be able to supply a replacement under warranty?

Hi Carlo
The parts were extensively stress tested so I am very surprised that happened on a purged weld.
To fix this is not a problem but we will need it returned to us.
Please send it to

please be sure to clearly mark the package as returned goods nil value to avoid taxes. Please put your return details with the part.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused to you by this. We will return as fast as we can.

One more. The guys here suggest that this was always likely given the way it was welded - which makes it likely to happen again with the same weld?

Hi Rich
We just stripped the bike down to swap the baffle over to the right and we've found that the part of the pipe which has the baffles in has cracked where the mount is welded.
Will you be able to supply a replacement under warranty?
Let me know.
Cheers
Carlo
Cool, i would not sell you a bolt!
Also cool, GO AWAY

Hey Rich
I have booked my bike in for 21st June to have the new pipe fitted as this is the last possible day before the track day on 22nd.
Can you please make sure I get the pipe by then regardless of the heat shield?
Cheers

Yep that's fine if they're that close.

Unless you have a rock solid ETA for the Heat Shield in the next couple of days...then I will wait.

Hi Rich
I noted in your forum post that you don't have any heat shields in yet. They seem to be constantly delayed, so can you please just send the exhaust so I can get the bike back on the road.
Cheers

Thank. If it gets here next week, even if its late next week it'll be fine, just need to know its coming so I can get it booked in for w/c 17th. Would make sense to wait for the heat shield if its not far away.
Cheers

Hi
Yes we are ready but were just waiting for the heat shield to ship with it. When is your track day?

Hi Rich,
You guys close to shipping? Keen not to miss my chance to install before next track day.

Hi Rich
Can you give me an ETA on when I'll get the replacement section for my inconel pipe please? My mechanic gets really booked up and I'd like to get a date locked in.
Thanks

Hi Rich
Copy of shipping receipt attached. There's a web address where you can track the parcel (begins EE... It's on the right at the top of the receipt). 2-4 days is what they've quoted.
Look forward to receiving the replacement part with reinforced bracket next week.
Luckily I bought an HP4 so I've got something to keep me occupied!
Cheers
