I was thinking to get the conical ones for my m600 but as I read they are Very loud..

I expected that and I saw on Danmoto's website baffles.. are these making any difference? I love the sound but police in my area is a pain in the a**, looks for everything they could penalize.. [leo]

i got some baffles recenty and they now have a steel sleeve around them comapred to the photo.  the danmoto people said this makes them quieter.  not sure how much, never tried them in my jisus.  might just make them fit better/more efficiently.  fitting them before the muffler would be a pita given how much effort was required to get the muffler pipes into the mufflers.  well, too much for me to want to bother.

sound wise the jisus were normal for open mufflers i thought.

I realize Danmoto is a touchy subject for Duc owners, but I got mine in the mail today and spent a whopping 15 minutes installing it. I am not mechanically inclined, but it's pretty obvious where things go and how to do it. There are small air leaks, but from what I've read these should go away in time as the mid pipe heats and seats sealing it all off. If not, I may look into it, but it's honestly so small that I don't know/care unless I'm looking for it. I don't remember who said it before me, but they weren't joking when they said the cans were loud. Like crazy stupid loud. I'm definitely going to be investing in some ear plugs for riding now. Good lord it's loud. Poor neighbors... They're just jealous.  [evil]

Pictures of it are on www.kuzemko.com.

It truly sounds like a Monster now. Deep, throaty, nasty rumble and I love every bit of it.

kuzemko you can fix small exhaust leaks by using some Permatex Ultra Copper Maximum Temperature RTV Silicone Gasket Maker  Just be sure to let it cure for 24 hours before running the exhaust to be sure it seals correctly.

Sweet, thanks for the info/link! I assumed something of this sort existed, and I'll probably check it out, but it's nothing I can feel with gloves on. Either way, something I should do. On deceleration, I notice a little bit of backfiring/popping. Not a ton, nothing crazy, but I notice it more now. Is it normal? Something that always happened and I just never heard it until now? Due to the new exhaust? Is it just my bike clearing its throat in preparation for more screaming?  ;D

That it's caused by your exhaust leak most likely.

Actually, this is what you actually want for the exhaust

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

I like the ultra copper because it stays pliable and is O2 sensor safe. ;)

I'm in the $2,500 CraigsList Ducati club... ballin' on a budget over here. 

Haha, I loved this. I'm in that same club! Cept' I've spent stupid $ turning my 750 into a Super Monster/Sport Monster 900 and farkling it out like a dumbass.

There's s lot of us 10+ year old 3 grand and under from Craigslist Ducatista that snuck in here. Kinda like beer and pretzels blue collar ballers crashing the wine and cheese party with our loud Dan Moto exhausts and M-Label levers  [evil]

Perfect way to describe it. I almost want the M-Label levers more now. Like wearing a tuxedo shirt to a wedding. You're still there, it's still fancy, but you really just wanna party. Hahaha

These are hooligan bikes after all.

Those M Label and "The 2 Wheels" levers are extremely awesome btw. The anodizing on my black ones faded after 3 years so this time around I got the shorty silvers. I'll snap a pic in the morning. Best $30 I ever spent

You can't complain too much at the price.  You know what you're getting and where it's coming from.

My rubbers for the steel straps were all cracking at the bends around the Jisu mufflers, so they sent me some new ones for free.

Plus they told me that the jisu should be mounted with the flat iner side parallel to the swing arm.  This will give more clearance on the m600 for sure.  I had considered that look at one point, not sure why I didn't go for it.  They sent me new steel straps to bend to work too, as the hold ones are already Jisu shaped, but in the wrong places.  I think the we steel straps have cut out slots in them too, for a classier look.  I haven't fitted them.

I recently installed the Danmoto decat pipe on my S2R 1000. I was impressed with the quality and finish. The fitment was near perfect. I paid $170.00 shipped, about 1/2 the price of Spark or Marving.

I have had the Danmoto carbon fiber cans for about 2 years now, and they are starting to show signs of wear because they did not reinforce the rivets with a metal bracket to serve as a kind of washer, so the rivets are wearing a bigger hole in the carbon fiber. They are still serviceable, but I would recommend their titanium cans instead. Also, the bracket they provide with the cans is waaaaaay to flimsy.

I had a DanMoto GP-style can on a Honda VFR a couple years ago. Decent quality. The GP-shape requires large number of welds. The welds looked decent. The can was really loud. And the $15 db-killer doesn't fit. Other than that, no problem. Didn't have any rust either. Bottom line is, they cost about the same as the California sales tax on a set of ARROW...

I had a low-side crash at about 25 mph about two months ago and rashed my Danmoto carbon cans a bit. Light sandpaper and a black Sharpie rendered the damage almost unnoticeable. Sure glad I wasn't sporting Arrows or Termis.
