My ti muffler has cracked badly as well. Sounds like there may be a design problem.

i was advised against getting a titanium system by a ducati dealer as they were not strong enough for road use. ok for just track but not up to the rigours of our roads.

Mine has cracked in the identical location, must be a design problem.

If you had paid $5000 for an exhaust system, you wouldn't find it so amusing.

That is $5000 AUD or around 2000 pounds

Thats still a lot of cash for an exhaust system in anybodies money.
I wonder if the warranty replacement will be any better,................I doubt it.
Its about time that exhaust manufacturers (Lazer,Arrow,Micron......hmm,maybe not!) got their act together and started to offer more replacement cans/systems for the 999 series.
I like the look of the LeoVince system,still not cheap at 1400 quid tho!:o
Good luck with the warranty claim.

got a call on wed new back box was in !!!!!!!!!! strange how this is an unknown problem (the official answer),and took 5 months for the system to arrive but 2-3 days for the back box? hmmmm .I will call the tech chief of Ducati germany(thats where i live) and see what he has to say. but at least they didnt quibble over the claim so i cant complain really
