Thanks. I guess the Batches of these exhaust vary just slightly. One word of Advice. Drill and safety wire your O2 plugs together. One of mine came out on my vacation trip. That way even if they loosen up they won't be able to work themselves all the way Loose

Hi All,

I though I’ll add my two bobs to this thread regarding the Vandemon Exhaust for a Panigale 1299S.

Initially I was looking to add an Akrapovic slip on, and called around and got some prices. ☹

I discovered this thread and decided on the Vandemon Exhaust. Michael at Vandemon was extremely easy to deal with and answered all my emails. Vandemon even notified when the courier failed to pick up the exhaust, and it will be a day late.

The exhaust has been delivered a week after the order was placed, which I thought was really efficient. I opened the package and was blown away with the quality built into the manufacture of the Vandemon exhaust.

The Vandemon exhaust weighed 5.8 kg total, while stock exhaust weighed 10.9 kg. The welds on the stock exhaust seems as though persons with impaired vision did the welding, a complete contrast to Vandemon exhaust which has welds performed using the TIG process being purged with Argon gas. The welds on the Vandemon exhaust add to the aesthetics of the Panigale 1299.

The Vandemon exhaust was easier to fit than the stock exhaust was to remove.

An exhaust such as this will require tuning, so I decided to go with TuneBoy. The TuneBoy integrated well with the system which was what I was after as I did not want to go down the road of the piggy back ECU. I loaded the full Akrapovic fuel map and three Trim files.

I had a ride this afternoon trying out different trim files, I had multiple ear drum orgasms listening to that Vandemon. The TuneBoy is performing as expected, all that down low fluffiness and the torque dip at 5500 rpm are all gone.

I am really happy now with my set up, both Vandemon exhaust and the TuneBoy are excellent products.

Hi there. I seriously considering this system for my 1199R. Can you please give me more details about what you did for the fuel mapping. THere a couple tuneboy kits available and I want to make sure I am getting the right thing. THanks!
 
G’day mrjonnylee,

For fuelling I purchased the Tuneboy Tuning only flash. With this I received a link for downloading the fuel maps for different set ups for the Panigale. I described to Wayne the exhaust and he recommended the full akrapovic fuel map that he developed for the Panigale 1299.

I then followed the instructions and flashed the ECU. You will need a full, strong battery for this. I had disconnected the cooling fan as this runs whiles flashing the ECU. Also I had connected the battery tether to keep the battery charged while being flashed. The bikes dash does go a bit hay wire with lights flashes but once done it all goes back to normal.

I did flash a few trim files which I tried one at a time. I settle for the trim file that gave me the best drive at 3000 rpm without being jerky, and provided smooth acceleration way beyond 6000 rpm in 6th gear. The flat spot which all Panigale 1299 suffer from at 5500 rpm had disappeared and I am pretty happy with the linear feel of the throttle now.

The objective for my set up was never more power but rather a throaty sounding exhaust and smooth linear drive which I now have.

I hope this helps you.

I'm assuming the passenger peg mounting holes on the stock subframe are crucial for mounting this system? Are you still using the stock subframe? Im also considering the motoholders subframe but will likely need modifications.
 
You are correct in both cases. I still use the stock subframe and the pillion foot peg holes is where the mounting bracket is fixed to.

Awesome, been looking for a review on this combo (VD & Tuneboy) think I’m gonna go ahead and order mine in the next couple of days. Do you know what hp/torque figures you gained?

I did not dyno the bike. The bike did however power wheelie with ease after the installation, I used the wheelie control to control how high I wanted the front wheel while going through the gears.:)

Your looking at around a 14.13hp gain and 3.81 torque gain. But that also depends on the tune you are using and who dynoed your bike. Dont forget if you get the Undertail exhaust it weighs only 9.8lbs. So youre saving 20.2lbs over stock which will affect the performance of the bike. The numbers on paper say one thing but the weight loss says another. There is a formula I saw which i should look up again. For every pound lost there is a gain in HP and Torque. Also with the Vandemon undertail if you use Vcyclenut to flash your ECU since he made a ECU flash specifically for a 1299 with a Vandemon exhaust, your power curves will change. Who cares if a bike has 200hp and say 150ft lbs of torque. If that power isnt used when it should be and is used it the high rpm range they are useless to you. Vcyclenuts ECU flash makes the bike smoother the way it should have been designed. The power is instant when you actually need it and his ECU flash has many other features. I wish he made the ECU flash for the Vandemon Down Under exhaust

@cycler good info and valid points.
Do I have to ship my ecu to get that flash done?

ive been on a quest to finally comprehend the “tuning” industry / world.

It looks like you can either buy a brand new ECU off of them and that’s it or you can ship back your original ECU and receive a refund

Maybe someone will ship him a bike w the DownUnder exhaust

He would charge to install the exhaust then prepare a program . It would be worth it for vcyclenut if he did a bunch of down unders. However if you send him your down under. He will have a fee to mount it on a bike. Then create the proper ecu flash. And then sell it. i could talk to him and see if he could split the install costs on his bike.Or unless some from florida bought a down under exhaust . Installed in on their bike and bring him your bike. I am sure he wouldnt charge you full retail for him making the ECU flash. But there would some small fee. And then I can start selling the vcyclenut flash since im a dealer of his.

Here is link of what he does to a 1299 with a Vandemon. He can take into consideration when you change your air filter and go up two teeth on our rear spocket. Take a look at the link Ducati 1299 Flash
