Akrapovic Exhaust or Termignoni?
 

I am due to pick up my new 749 at the weekend, and was looking to have the Termignoni Exhaust fitted as well.
But on investigation, I have been told that the ECU that comes with the Termis, is far from perfect.
I have been told that Akrapovic do a race system for the 999, and a power comander is the way to go.
Does anyone have any advice on which is the way to go??
Not to sure on how much the Akrapovics are though.

one swallow doesnt make a summer. i think bikes with termi's (the can of choice) have done ok in the past.

Termis,they work very closely with Ducati,both as oe equipement & performance parts!!

Didn't someone confess that the Arrows cans used on the race bikes were nothing more than Termis with Arrows badges on them because they paid the sponsorship money?

My standard Ducati cans are made by Arrow.

Rode a 749 on test with Termi's fitted (and ECU) and was fine in fact it was lush , have ordered my new one with the Termi's.:sing:

Just been speaking to a local Duke dealer.
I know he will be biased towards the Termis, but he says that the powercomander is a load of cr@p.
He was saying that they get a lot of bikes refered to him to sort out, with power comander.
My mind is set on Termis, but dealer won,t fit until after first service.

Peter - don't forget the warranty issue. Only aftermarket exhausts agreed by Ducati and fitted by one of their authorised dealers will keep it intact.

Yes, Termis it is. I will just have to wait the 600 miles.
At least I should notice a difference, after riding with the standard exhaust for 600 miles.

Having not heard the Termis, do they really make a difference, as I don,t want to be dissapointed.

Its all well saying termi or exhaust, but what size/ style.
Are you sticking with the asymetric, ie pipe and can, or going for bigger 54/57mm?

Staying with standard size downpipes,

i wouldnt buy a ti termi system again even if if was half price .......im on my fith end can in nine months.......pain inthe aßße

i didint go for the ti one purely because my dealer said they were not really intended for road use; not strong enough.

who was he? some bloke that walked in off the street and hasnt so much as seen a bike before???

You won't be dissapointed, picked my up last night and sounds the dogs, not allowed over 6k revs for first 600 miles so can't hear them at thier best but as I said before the demo bike at the dealer had them on so I now what it will be like :devil:
The running will be hard work the 749 is only just getting going at 6k so lots of gear changes to make decent progress (although 6k in top gear = 95mph so OK) and over taking is a pain. Never best get it done quick:eureka:
Have fun with yours, getting it this weekend?
Oh I also had Ducati corse single seat unit (doesn't need rear sub frame change) which is very nice if your buying the bip.

Cheers,

Kip.

Oh yer Veloce (Norwich) said the same thing about Power Commander something to do with the rest of the systems on the bike.

Having followed the tart boys about Dorset, they sound awesome. As does Evertons.

And Termis are Termis, not arrows or remus.

Ducati Kip

Glad to hear, you got your bike and are pleased with it.

Sounds hard work to keep to 6k, although will be worth it.

Any Photo,s???

Spoke to my dealer today, and sounds like my bike won,t be ready until Tuesday next week, as I am having a few things done. Such as the wheels are being painted black, and I fancied the Mono seat. The guy who does the painting, I belive does the paint for the BSB teams, so he he is really busy at the moment.
just have to wait 4 more days.

Will let ya know when I get it.

P.S Did you question the latest £800 discount on the 749.
I did, but all I got was the first service included!!

Peter,

I've a strange feeling I know you, and I'm sure I've met your wife... ;)

Let me know how you get on with the Termis - I've considered getting them, but for £1000 I think they're overpriced. Ducati Manchester won't fit Termis until first service, and seem pretty insistent on that. The painting guy they use does the Renegade bikes. You just having the black wheels or something else? Sounds like you bought a Biposto? Is it a regular 749 or the 749S?

First service cost me £150, so you didn't get a massive saving. Would they not budge on the price then?

Dave

And by the way, Arrows don't make a system for the 749/999 as yet. The Renegade bikes certainly look like they're running factory Termis with Arrow stickers on them...

Peter,

Pic's to follow.

Yes I got the 800 off plus free first service (pay for parts only- oil/filter) plus deal/free fitting on Termis, free carbon hugger and discount/free fitting from single seat unit, datatag,rear number plate kit and anti stone chip front number board.

Black wheels will look very nice thinking of that one myself and on another thread a guy has posted a pic of his new 749R with a painted front number board which looks very cool (which I'd done that now!).

Keep in touch, let me know how you get on when you pick yours up- is yours a standard or S model?

Cheers,

Kip
