I've found the best way to match Ducati pipes is buy spare pipes from ebay and cut and weld those.

sbk's have the needed larger diameter pipes for joined areas

When I was looking into the Evo exhaust swap my idea was to cut out the section that housed the flapper, weld in a standard pipe (think it was about 2 1/4" if I recall) then ceramic coat the whole thing black.  Clean with no flapper and looks boobies   

likely will need a Duc.ee if they are available for the EVO

no flapper= ecu error

When I did my DP flash with Motowheels they cut out the o2 sensors and flapper.  No Duc ee   

I'm fairly lazy and thought just removing the shaft and extraneous bracketry and plugging the shaft holes was the easiest method instead of fiddling with replacement pipes which may or may not match.

 Nice!

Nice!

Thanks. BTW, that exhaust shield is a prototype. I'm going to stay with that concept on the final product but with a few changes.

Saw your new bike pic and am extremely jealous.   

 Thanks! What you did is just what I was planning for my 09 monster until some jerk made me get a 696 midpipe. You did a very clean job!

get a close up pic of what your talking about and If it's not too dificult I may be able to make you one from some scrap alum. at the shop some weekend.(I'm a CNC programmer). I also have a 2013 m1100 so I can check the fitment.
