I could be wrong but I think I got it:

Panigale 'R' + PRO Pipe = non-blowed up motor

NON 'R' Panigale + PRO Pipe = motor BLOWED UP!

some info :

The Pro pipes are meant for R only. As of course it can be mounted but it s impossible to activate the RPO settings already in place in the R. Aftermarkets engine managment systems have to be used. This annuls the warranty. and apparantly the non R engines seem not to cope very well with that pipe. .The engine that blew yesterday carried that pipe for not more than a couple of laps... is it due to that pipe? who knows? is it reassuring , certainly not.. Ducati states clearly that the Pro Pipe is R only...

I'm really starting to doubt you have any idea what you are talking about. An exhaust pipe is not going to pop a motor. You fully understand that right? A bad tune or faulty components will. The R pipe being steel won't be the best option but still your crusade to differentiate the R as some kind of special thing is pretty obvious at this point.

I tend to agree but with the addition that i think he is also constantly trying to show he is something special too..

Dunno man can't see it . The AR threads have gone quiet maybe need a new target hey .
I gather he was just trying to help . Maybe the new long pipe makes a non R motor run too lean without the ability to utilize the new map once again it's only a guess .
The only reason I can see the non R motors not being able to use the official map is because the R motor runs 500 rpm more at the top due to lighter internals . Could be critical for a S or base motor is my guess .

I'm with you W! Also, as an other poster mentioned, things do get lost in the translation which can distort the intent of a post...trust me I know since English is not my native language.
I'm always interested hearing and reading about new products or add ons that can make your bike even better if so desired.

Well I stand to be corrected but its a feeling I get.... Seems the R is special and so are its riders???

Stw, the R might be special, but I can assure you that there is absolutely nothing special about me

Well, a very open exhaust can make a bike run very lean meaning higher compustion temperature relulting in possible motor damage. Especially at the track, when operated in high revs all time...
