so what were saying is ? the termi 57mm system is more suited to a race system/set up & the leo is not built for the race system/set up. hummmm

Thtas because of the bend angle where the frontpipe exits the front cylinder ,there is not enough clearance behind the kit oil cooler.
They have tried-believe me!
They have to weld the termi's after every practice or race!!!

You have to remember that the system fitted to the JHP bikes is nothing like the termi's you buy over the counter(i remember being told by on of Ohlin's top men that Ohlins are good compared to other road going shocks but there sublime if your names FOGERTY!) The ones fitted to Stuarts bikes are made especially for the job,Lanzi's 749r ran Leo vinci but with a standard oil cooler (which was found to be marginal-hence the change back to termi's the following year)

for me its termis for a ducati, even the 748-998 series look, " strange" with arrow pipes on etc. the 749-999 look at home with termi,everything else just doesnt do it for me.

Andyb and Pedro are right......Termi on my 749R is giving 128bhp at the wheel?
and plod just thinks it came on the bike. The Leo Vinci (was'nt that one of the ninja turtles?) just looks sooooooooo after market. Ricki at Hackett's showed me the insides of the Vinci and it looks very well gas flowed/made indeed. But but but but it just looks to bling...........I like the engineered look of the Termi

[iang]

I think the Leo Vinci looks excellent quality and finish compared to the termi, BUT for me all of these 'other' brands of exhaust just do not look right with that monstrosity that is the 749/999 rear light unit.

At least the Termi has a cutout for the rear light so it fits flush with the bottom of the exhaust while all the other brands just have the light unit hanging in mid air or hidden under some of the scaffolding that 99% of us remove anyway.

I also think that the Termi carbon cover looks just right for the bike.

I still like the Leo Vinci and the Racefit but not with the standard rear light, it looks too much like an afterthought.

Termignoni IS Ducati !

That must be some weird bend radius , the front pipe comes off the underside of the engine , the oil cooler is mounted directly under the radiator (on the kit too) , there's loads of clearance , the LV pipe would have to turn forwards in order to clash , sounds dodgy to me

"plod just thinks it came on the bike"...................er not this plod! How many decibels?????????????
