Yea, Castor...I can do that tomorrow. Picking up some bodywork so I will post both bikes with and without fairings....
Whew, lots of replies....lol
FAN IS REMOVED - end of story, lol.....there is a new shroud and attachment which is cut out to make room for the bigger exhaust.
NEW MAP from Ducati Corse, it is a RED unlock key and what I did to install it was to remove the old map, that came with the full Termignoni for the R model, by inserting the key and confirming DOWNLOAD, then I inserted the new key and the dash now says PRO RACING or something like that.
The bike sounds a little different but still awesome!
I WILL dyno the bike with Attack Performance here in Huntington Beach, CA. My last racebike, a 2009 Yamaha R1 with full YEC race ecu, full Akrapovic, BMC air filter and YEC velocity stacks got 80 ft/lbs torque and 170 hp at the wheel.
It's all speculation at this point but I do expect this exhaust will net REAL and significant results, otherwise, why go to the time and trouble to make it?
I go to the track on Sunday to feel the results and then the dyno in the next couple of weeks.

@Trauma, I didn't dyno before because I have been in the middle of a move and new job and trying to fit in some races at Miller Motorsports Park and Willow Springs in the next few weeks in addition to some practice at Willow and Fontana so needless to say I've been super busy. I wanted to do a back to back result but at the end of the day it is really all about what is actually has. The R is already better than the R1 or 1098SBK I have been racing and that is with only one track day to break it in and confirm my setup.
I have some other testing to do with Pirellis to see if I might like those better than the Dunlops or Michelins....they all seems pretty good but the bike was designed around the Pirellis so I will likely end up using those.
It s for the R only as map is in the ecu, not in the stick
Track does not need the fan as it doesn't idle much.
Street very much needs the fan as it needs it running to cool the engine when podding around.
Yes the R already has the map but besides that there is no reason this won't work on a base or S right? I can always get the bike tuned somewhere else.
This header is for the R ONLY. It has a different map and the entire fan assembly is removed. I think I put a picture up in the beginning of this thread showing the new and old fan/shroud next to each other.
The new part is basically a modified stock piece NOT INCLUDING the fan and cut out to fit the extended header.
@robbysca76, but it isn't exactly the same as the S so maybe that's why...
The only reason I went with the PRO manifold was simply that it was designed to work with the 1199R. On my 1098 I bought both the Termi and Akrapovic and dyno tested everything and decided to tune a Nemesis ECU but all that cost SO MUCH $$$.
The R came with a full system, which I can use the headers on my base model and buy some slip-ons, and I purchased the PRO manifold, at a reasonable price, and I'm ALL set now.
No tuning, I'm pretty much done and it was all designed to work together. Now all I need to do is cam timing and I am through.
It's absurde that this pipe should be only for R when the engine is the same of S ;(
