Danmoto exhaust

[Desert Dust]

do we know of anyone that has ordered the s2r s4r setup yet?

I have the same question. I am definitely considering a set of the Danmoto carbon fiber pipes for my S2R 1K. I read this entire thread twice, and most everybody who bought them seems pleased. 

Well, except for the elephant dung comment.

Your Danmoto pipes look good. Do the pipes get so hot that you need a heat shield for the passenger? Had any trouble with the carbon fiber coming unravaled? I'm trying to decide between the carbon fiber or the titanaium pipes for my S2R 1K.

Had to get my wife's approval before I ordered a set of Danmoto carbon fiber pipes for my S2R 1K. I showed her a picture of these $160.00 pipes from China, and she said "Just get the original Ducati pipes." I then showed her a set of Termignoni pipes for $2,000 plus, and she said "Order the Chinese ones!"

I just bought her a new 2011 Camry in May, so approval wasn't a huge problem.

But since I bought her a Camry, perhaps I deserve a new Diavel

You didn't happen to mention the termis come w air filter and ecu did you? Or that the 2k system would be a full system?  Just sayin, not really a good comparison...

Like my wife would know what that was?    I already run a K&N air filter.

Really, I never considered buying any other exhaust except for the Marving Cat eliminator pipe because in my opinion, they are all way too expensive. 

Now I can still make the house and Camry payment.

It's all in the sell, "we need it, buying it as a package avoids spending the money twice, you wont have to listen to me ask for the upgraded versio  down the road if we fet it the first time, thereby ultimately enabling you to get more shoes!"

So a full termi system for an S2R 1K runs about what, $2500.00?

Danmoto pipes = $160 plus Marving header = $350.00 plus Fat Duc O2 manipulator = $80.00 plus shipping = $100.00 for a grand total of $690.00.

Let's see, $2500 minus $690 = $1810.00, or about about 30 pairs of shoes. You are correct I can buy shoes.

Truthfully, if I were made of money, I would probably buy a new Diavel and some termis

My wife and I installed the Danmoto carbon slip-ons on her M696 today. Here's my $0.02:

The good:

The cans are beautiful. Seriously nice-looking equipment - the finish isn't perfect, but they're going to get dirty anyway. The end caps are a nice stainless, the rivets are even, and the carbon fibre is a nice weave. One of the elbows had a bit of a pinch on the flange; made it tough to "slip" over the mating flange. No biggie, a bit of BF&I sorted that out. They mount in very nearly the stock attitude - much lighter (a few pounds per side) than stock, much smaller and cleaner than stock. And they sound completely incredible.

Do not be fooled: these little bastards are loud. Like "never riding without earplugs ever again" loud. But a very nice, deep, throaty loud - like Termis. I actually think I like the Danmoto's sound better than the carbon Termis, which doesn't hurt. But be aware that they are loud. If you're looking for something just slightly louder than stock, you will not like these cans. Did I mention that they're loud? It sounds like Thor himself is banging on the wall in our parkade - and holy crap do they ever have an amazing growl at 8k RPM.

My wife's note: "I didn't think it would be possible to be even more in love with this bike!"

The bad:

The mounting hardware sucks out loud. The hangers are cut / drilled strips of stainless, and there is a drilled chunk of stainless about 2.5" long to connect them to the stock mounting point since bands + the stock position would leave around 90% of the exhaust unsupported. Although the nut and bolt that they include for this purpose are nice stainless units, it's not a locking nut. Going to have to re-visit the bike with some loctite in the near future. Also, I cut the shit out of my thumb.  

The springs they supply with the kit are junk. The spring hooks on the elbows are positioned such that springs rattle against the pipes. If they weren't so freaking loud, you could probably even hear them do it!  

Conclusion:

For $160, you absolutely will not be disappointed. They look great, they sound great, they're easy to install. The mounting hardware could be better - and hell, for the $1k difference between these and Termis you could invest in having something nicer made - but use some loctite when you're putting them together and they'll be fine. Wear earplugs. Did I mention that they sound freaking amazing?

  Well put!  If they fixed their mounting system, a lot of other exhaust mfg's out there would really be in trouble. 

Now if they offered a full set of spaghetti headers, stainless, for around $300-$500 - they would be putting people out of business.

I just finished installing my carbon fiber pipes on my S2R 1000, and I would agree with everything you said. However, I will not need ear plugs because I have had excellent seats for Blue Oyster Cult, Zeppelin, Heart, Petty, and the Alman Brothers. But the pipes are F### LOUD. So far I'm happy with them, but the true test of quality will come after a couple thousand miles or so. Pics to follow

They wouldn't be putting anyone out of business. I'm sorry, these things cost ~$200 and look like they cost about $20. Fine for a track bike but they're hardly giving Termi, Arrow, Zard or even QD any reason to panic.
