Thanks mate - A very valid response - how do many get around this then? Any suggestions on the least illegal or most accepted conversions.

least illegal , is that a valid term ?

maybe staintunes which come legal with welded in baffles , but are also available with removeable baffles

gives you best of both worlds i guess depending on your situation

all our exhausts are available with Cats & DB Killers, is an option, but will make the exhaust legal

fixed it for ya Michael...

Most (if not all) of us will have issue with the fitted exhausts on our bikes if really scrutinised. I can't recall a time in recent memory where anyone has had an issue (in NSW anyways)

Thanks mate... not necessarily boring, just a little more restricted, but still legal.. not many aftermarket exhausts are legal in Australia.. even the Termi's are labelled "off road use or not for road use".. why do you think Ducati will not fit a system to a new bike before delivery.. they will deliver the bike and you can ride it around the block and drop it off to have pipes fitted...

As all our systems come from Italy, they are not allowed to sell an exhaust in europe without the Cats & DB Killers.. a lot of them are starting to make systems with removeable cats as well as DB Killers...

If'n you want better performance, think about a PC3 and open airbox, made a huge difference to the power delivery on my s2r800. I also cored the mufflers to make it sound like a real Ducati. (easy job) Allow around 250-300 bucks on top of the PC3 though for the dynotune. If you want to get rid of the bladder, you could put in a mid pipe.

Hi Brimo,

Sounds very feasible - do you have a photo (or video)of your setup? Be great to see what it looks/sounds like as I have the same bike model (06 here).

These are not my pics, however they do give you an idea of whats inside, you just cut about 10mm off of the rear end of the inner steel muffler and pop rivet the back bit back in.
You'll need a dremel to cut the welds inside the rear tailpipe.




The exhaust just looks stock from the outside, here is the link to the how to thread...http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=505.0

Open airbox is easy, just bend up a piece of 25mm aluminium strip from bunnings. The velcro straps have now been replaced by small diameter bungee cord.
