Need exhaust ideas

[Slag]

I am going to replace the exhaust on the 1098 before the AR trip, and am looking for options. I would like to do something other than the Termi's for variety. I have so far checked out the Leo Vince slip ons, but that is about it. Can the original computer be remapped, or will I have to buy an after market ecu?

Akrapovic full systems are supposed be the awewome... CA-Cycleworks has them I believe

There's a can of worms...
Check the 1098 forums. There's a ton of debate.
The general consensus is that you have to buy the DP Race ECU ($1,150), plus a Power Commander, plus the exhaust,
although some claim to be running a full exhaust with the stock ECU  


I dunno.......

Yeah, they're the best. Full titanium, light weight, very well made.
Dan Kyle has the best price, & also a free map for the Power Commander.

I think the Akras have the best looking lines on the bike.  They just look like they belong on there, but the full Termis come w/ the ECU so that was the big draw for me.

Yep. That's pretty much what everyone says.

$1,150, just for an ECU that's been flashed with slightly different software. It's stuff like this that gives Ducati a bad rep.

Well, the ECUs were like $800 at the beginning of the year, but the Euro is destoying the $

[bryant8]

We should have stockpiled ECUs and then resold them lol

I was just checking them out. They do look nice. I have been reading several forums, but it is hard to sift through the flamewar that always ensues with questions like this. The bike runs fantastic right now. No stalling problems and it runs much cooler than my MV. I do not want to put an exhaust on that will involve months of tinkering to get right. My main focus is weight reduction, and cooling the tail off.

I know that Termi's are the easy way out. For no justifiable reason I am just reluctant to go that way.

Ummm, they're heavy & poorly made (the full system)?

Are you interested in the 1/2 system??

I like the look of the QuatDs as well, but the stick a bit out the arse end of the bike.  The Mivv Suonos look cool too, but I don't know too much about those.

Go Akra + DP ECU + PC3

I have a full Titanium/Carbon system from Arata for sale. It is the highest quality exhaust system I have ever seen.

No 1098 experience here (999+full termi) but I love the Akrapovic 4into1 pipes on my GXSRs. Extremely well made and fit perfectly!! Great pipes!! I went Akra rather than the typical Yosh/Suzuki thing just for the heck of it too and have never ever regretted it. Nothing against Yosh at all just wanted to try something different. Have PCIIIs one custom mapped by Steve Upchurch at Motion Cycle on the 750 and one that Randy just downloaded from Dynojet's website on the 1K. Randy's download on my GSXR1000 was perfect, I have no reason to have it dynoed other than to have a printed graph in my hand. Big deal. It runs awesome just the way it is! Haven't paid much attention to Akra pipes on 1098/848s but I bet they are very nice.
