Some of the best mods are home-made, some are artisan-made and some are Chinese slave labor made.  If everyone only bought the same crap, well.. why bother?

Why put a low budget pipe on a jewel of a motorcycle?  I agree that the price of cans are more than they should be but I know we have all paid a lot of money to own Ducati's. If you are only looking for sound then I guess I can understand saving hundreds on these and having more money to use for other upgrades.  But the look is sub par compared to the other pipes that are out there from the established exhaust makers.  This is just my opionion and not made as a flame to anyone on here.  If you are happy that is all that matters, but my $200+ will go towards a different exhaust.

Well, one, I only paid $2,800 for my Duc...so, not really Ferrari prices here.  

Speaking solely for the Conicals I bought - There is nothing - nothing - different about these cans and connecting pipe (mounts, sure, but that's it) than a $500-$800 pair.  So, I call B.S. - A nicer mounting strap and a badge and these could be Arrow/MIVV/Termingoni/Et. al. and y'all would be saying how amazing they look.  

My extra $300 saved will go towards a pair of the best rubber I can buy - something that actually makes a damn difference.

You mean like everybody and their Brother running Termi's?

$300 for a pair of rubbers?

I get a whole box of trojans for about $7.

Oh, yeah? Those must be the little ones.

Microscopic! 

I'm in the $2,500 CraigsList Ducati club... ballin' on a budget over here.  It's very difficult to justify spending the $800 or $900 on the gorgeous Sil megaphones that I've lusted after for three years when they're about a third of the bike's total purchase price.

$250 including shipping for something similar?  Sign me up.

Besides, I'm just gonna rash 'em up anyway.  I won't feel nearly as bad laying rattle-can Krylon on my DanMotos six months from now.

Ended up not having enough time this weekend, but, as promised - here are pics of the cans on my M750.  The mounts aren't on yet, but this as least gives an idea of how they fit/look/sit on the bike.







I give them a big - I LOVE the way they look, they are super light and just the right (IMHO) length...can't wait until I finish the rest of the work on my bike so I can hear these bad boys...

Those cans look great  .

By which I mean.... Those cans look great  .

Not.... those cans look great.. for the price.  And not...those cans look great... considering they're Chinese.

Those cans look great.  Period.

Look nice.  I think with the money saved, some minor modifications they could be really cool.

looks like it's time for a new mid-pipe friend. the shiny new cans make that midpipe look even worse :/

Thanks for those tips, I'll give both of those options a shot and see what works best.

Back OT - I'll put up a sound clip this weekend for those DanMoto cans... 

Holy shit, they're loud!    Set off a few car alarms zipping down my street.  

EDIT:

Few more pictures on them fully installed:
