Help Needed to Find 1000ss Headers

[JasonBoswell]

Urgently looking for the exhaust headers for a Supersport 1000.

This is for a race bike build that has gone a bit off the rails. We've run out of time to have the custom exhaust made that was planned, and now will revert to the standard headers with high level carbon cans for the first race.

Unfortunately, it's a long story, the engine didn't come with headers and the donor bike is a 900ss.

900ssie headers won't fit the 1000DS engine. Nor will any other combination of Monster or Supersport headers. It would seem that the 1000ss is a bit of a unique beast in this respect.

With time fast running out, we're searching desperately for these items. If anyone can possibly assist in locating some it would really be very much appreciated. Even if someone just had some to loan until after the end of the month, it would really get us out of a spot of bother.

PM or call me on 07791693307

Thanks!

I have a full Multistrada 1000ds system here. Youre welcome to borrow it and see if you can use the headers and see if you can fasten a single can to it (just the one outlet from headers to cans) I would need it back at some point for whenever I sell my bike. Only prob I suppose is that its the standard system with Cat and front pipe that runs down the side of the engine rather than underneath.

[MARTIN H]

May also be worth a look for a staintune system or headers for a Multistrada, goes under the engine and then one outlet on the rhs. I know its not exactly what you want but probably wouldnt be much of a job to just have one can on the rhs? Theres often Multi staintune headers for sale on Multistrada.net.

And if youre running out of time?

[phillc]

As far as we know, the Multi headers won't fit, specifically the one from the rear cylinder. This is due to the fact that the 1000ss uses a double sided swingarm and the cantilever setup of the rear shock. The same goes for all Monster headers - even for the double sided swingarm Monster 1000 - the shock gets in the way.

620/800/750/900ss headers also won't fit due to the depth the headers need to go into the engine on the 1000ss.

Overall, it would seem that the 1000ss headers are a pretty unique setup in the Ducati range.

Thanks for the thoughts and kind offer though. Much appreciated.

[JasonBoswell]

Thanks for the offer, Martin, its really appreciated.

As Phill says, it seems that the 1000SS engine is something of a unique beast and no amount of cludging will get around the problem!

We'll keep trying.

Would 1000DS headers be similar I wonder?

I've checked on Ebay Germany and came up with Zero I'm afraid.

Neither Silmoto or Marving appear to make headers for either.

Sorry - Good luck

Its 1000DS headers were after Frank, but from the SS, not the Multi. They're like hens teeth, it would seem...

Thanks Skids. They have to be 1000ss headers and if that's the case, PM sent.

[skidlids]

They are the ones with the fixed collars where they enter the head and have a pressed steel flange to bolt them on, totaly different to the 900/750/620 supersport and Monster setups

Good work Skids - you're the man!!!

Good work Skids - you're the man!!!

Many have now seen my back room in MCN, so just imagine what the garage and workshop are like, its suprises me at times to what I have stored away.

[skidlids]

Anybody going to the Desmo Due awards at Ducati Coventry this coming Saturday afternoon that could possibly pick the headers up from me there and deliver them to Nelly at Cornerspeed.

Jason, get in touch with Mark (mjbayley) as I know he has a 2-into-1 Termi system from a 1000 Sport that might fit the bill? He was going to use it for a race bike but it didn't fit the engine he now has so he might part with it for some cash, or even to borrow.

[phillc]

Unfortunately these headers won't fit with a Supersport frame/swingarm/shock arrangement.

There was a couple of these on eBay too, but the answer from the experts was "No".

Thanks though.

[skidlids]

The headers I have are like these, i'll check the part numbers when I get home they should be
571.1.081.1A
570.1.084.1A

for a 2005 & 2006 1000SS/1000DS

[skidlids]

Just checked and the part numbers correspond, although thefeed into the collector box for the rear header pipe is at a different angle to the pic.
The pic from the 1000DS Supersport parts PDF is probably updated from a generic pic

[phillc]

Thanks Skids. It's almost certain these are the right ones then, and certainly the best chance we have.

Thats not bad value, my race CBR600 and two of my race Fireblades had full Akropovic (well OK one was a Skorpion before they changed the name) and they were around a Grand 9 years ago

Nice, but I think this only fits the Monster 1000 and not the Supersport 1000.

It's the first time I see a complete system for the SS1000 (although those headers look like they fit on a watercooled 4v engine).

Silmoto makes the "spaghetti headers" but for only for the Monster 1000 (not the same headers with the SS1000, :(:() and for the 750-800-900 SS.

But is that Akrapovic system for the SS1000? The description is "Akrapovic Evolution Open Exhaust System For Ducati Monster 1000" ?

I agree it's a shame that the Sil Moto spaghetti headers aren't available for this bike either.
