Another reason to buy termis!! I wonder if there is a leak in there, the heat should spread evenly. I would send a pck to my dealer if I were you. Rmemeber the guy that took his exhaust completely apart? Maybe look for those pics and see if there is a seam or something at that point.

That's my guess. That would let still burning fuel mixture into the pipes, no? I don't remember, but isn't that scorch mark right where the header points toward when it comes down into the can?
That was CaliDuc. He took his Termi system apart and had it ceramic coated then polished. Look him up, he has a few pics of the system completely dissembled before reinstall.

That's unusual. Seen many sets at the track and I have over 1k miles on mine at the track and I've never seen that. I would give my dealer a call and get the fueling checked soonest. If they don't have a dyno, find someone that does and have the AFR checked. Well worth the few bucks it would cost. If you can show an issue with the fueling, Ducati should flip the bill. They will also replace the cans under warranty.
I could almost understand a defect in one of the can, but both is unlikely. Get the .... checked.

That looks like a defect in the chamber tube inside of the Termi can that is overheating at the bottleneck, (wow, i actually used that term overheating- but in a better context), can you repeat after me"¦

I agree. I would have said defect but on both? I think it might be running really lean.

When you go the warranty route DON'T MENTION THE DYNO RUNS as I guarantee that the dealer will use that against you! 
Dyno runs can cause havoc to engines and associated systems (exhaust and cooling) as you don't get the air flow benefit and the inexperienced can run a vehicle much harder and longer at peak levels on a dyno than would ever be possible on road or track. Corners and such tend to slow the bike down at regular intervals on the road.
IMHO

I just got to this message. As per rm4two, you can see the full Termi system completely disassembled in my members gallery.
On first pass your have a defect on the internals Termi header pipe, more than likely blown out grating. I have attached a photo where you can see the internal grating of my Termi's, as you can see they map to where your hot spot is. Either way, I would recommend you call your dealer and if at all possible have your bike towed to your dealer (do not ride if possible). You should be able to simply replace the exhaust slip-ons only.
Good Luck.

Perfect Cali, this is what I thought would shed the best light on it.
