I don't get the hype about Termi cans...

[Triple J]

Termi and Ducati are in cahoots... I don't know much about the Termi company history, but I wonder if Termi would even be as well known without Ducati's affiliation.

I would guess not. I've never seen Termi's on any other bike but a Ducati...with exception of Rossi's M1. I'm sure someone will find me an example though.

Yes, that's true, but note my inclusion of the word GENUINE.

"Well known" is terribly relative. Consider that half the population looks at a monster and thinks "Buell". They only seem so well known because everyone here lusts after them.

Yup.

I like my Termis.  I opened then, wrapped the core with header tape then repacked them.  They're a bit louder ~

Since I can only depend on one person (myself) to spoil me for Christmas, I wonder what I'll get this year? Hmmm....

[Triple J]

Yup.

Easily the best sounding Buell I've ever heard.

I'll follow it up with this:

Factory ECU settings have most bikes running very lean for emissions.  If you want more than just sound out of your bike, go for the trifecta.  Well, there's actually four parts to the DP kit.
Mufflers
Filter
Ecu
Throttle control cable

Who knows, I was sold on it because the dealer installed it before taking delivery and they waived the install fee.   

Now, about that 14T sprocket...

What is the throttle control cable? I didn't realized this was part of the kit.
Thanks,
Tim

I just found out that Yoshimura makes carbon and Ti kits for the 848 and 1098.  Imagine that; a Ducati with Yosh.  Seems like the type of thing you'd only see in the US. 

Now, I can see Ducati and Termi's b/c that's keeping it in the family.  But Ducati and Yosh?

cut your stock cans and core them.

Someone may have to correct me but, when the ECU is changed out, the throttle position sensor needs to be reset.  I think in the case of the DP kit, it includes a throttle control cable.

While searching through the box of stock parts I found it...pretty much what I listed:

Stock Mufflers
Stock Air Filter
Stock Ecu
Red cable about 24" in length with
DB Killers for the Termi's.

I can take a picture later of it, but I don't know what else it could be.

I put my kit on my bike and there was no cable. The box had the cans, ECU, air filter a small bag of hardware and the classic DP crappy photocopied instructions. There's no need to replace the throttle cable. But you do need to get the TPS adjusted.

Any chance that you put on the DP Fender Eliminator Kit? If so, that's probably the cable for the seat release. It goes from the key mechanism to the unlatching mechanism. You switch that long cable for a much, much, much shorter one.

Thank you!   Yeah, that must be it, then. 

Sorry for being a Newbie.

Just putting an aftemarket exhaust does NOTHING to your warranty. If that's what the dealer is telling you, they're just trying to sell their product.

Not true.  Ducati is REALLY tightening up their warranty claims.  It's within their rights to deny your warranty claim if an aftermarket product could have had anything to do with it.  Now, that's not to say you'll be screwed in all cases, but it could happen.

It really doesn't matter what Ducati says. The Magnussen-Moss Warranty Act basically states that the manufacturer must prove that the modification caused the defect...
