[Ducati] 749 Exhaust

Tue Aug 22 10:08:54 EDT 2006

I did this to my '06 749Dark

http://www.ducatistore.co.uk/acatalog/Ducati_749_Performance_Parts.html

It's the assymetrical system.  Best system for the price.  I wanted to keep 
the wallet around 1500, and the fit had to be perfect.

The difference is that this system uses the same can as the Termi full 
system, but still utilizes the assymetric sytle and fueling of the original 
exhaust system.  Also, get's rid of the pre-cat in the front cylinder pipe.

You get the sound and the cooler running, just not the equal length pipes 
for maximum HP increase.  You won't knotice the difference between the 2 
systems unless you goto a dyno.

If you wanted to "core out" your own system (remove the cat and baffling), 
It's easy to cut out the cat in the pipe...but a bit more work to get all 
the baffles out of the can.  The end result is a very "tinny" souding 
exhaust.....kinda like those cheapo tips for the Honda 4-cyl cars, etc...

Sounds like crap.

So, if you're on a budget....get the Termi Assymetrical system......
If you have the cash, I would go for the full system from Termi.
Fit and finish is just like the stock, only lighter, etc.....

Another company I looked at was ZARD....they make a nice system

These guys are great (section8)  They will help you find exactly what you 
need for your spec bike with no problems.  The only issue is that they dont 
sell the Assymetrical exhaust, I was only able to find that at the UK Ducati 
link above

Good luck and have fun
_Alex

Have you considered/looked into Termignoni?  I put a full system on  mine 
late last year and I've been very happy with it.  I think I got  about 5 
more HP out of it and could swear it's cooler (temperature)  than the stock 
exhaust under the saddle.  I think the exhaust note is  near perfect--if a 
little loud.
