No not really. I'm gonna run it for while and if I hate it with a passion then I'll buy a standard replacement.
well if you do then im sure someone would probably want it as a project build.like I said I put new inners and lagging into mine. this is near enough the way I done mine (749 twin outlet too) 749/999 Exhaust Coring My Experience - Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum
bloody hell just read these threads what a laugh it was still dont know what to do with mine whats with the flap mod whats that about
its just a noise restriction flap in the exhaust pipe. just pull the cables off it so it stays open all the time.
Oh dear, you Guys make me laugh. The blind leading the blind and shall we buy a group drill bit. Obviously not members of the "He who dies with the most tools wins" set.
Bearing in mind that the internals are titanium, at least in mine are, and quite tough, I was using carbide burrs to open the holes up and struggling,(used a plasma cutter eventually), cheap hole cutters might not cut it....no pun intended However the mod is worth it in gas flow and also the all important sound effect
Not sure what model yours is but the hole cutter works on the 04-05 model As I have drilled out loads of them with the one cutter.
Mine is a late '07, I'm not saying to hole cutter method doesn't or won't work Just that it's worth getting a good quality one like a Starrett rather than the flimsy ones that are sometimes bundled in with a drill package or one from the pound shop. I had my silencer in half and had chopped most of the baffle out with a sharp chisel and it was the bits around the pipes I was using the carbide burr on and it wasn't making much headway. Usually they grind quite happily through stainless and hardened steel..
Yeah for total gutting its a hammer job to break the spot welds. I done mine as a winter project so I wouldn't miss a days riding But it only took a day to open,gut,pack and re-seal.most of that Was waiting on th bro in law to bring the tig down.
