I think cost about £100 or so for the pair. Ducati Manchester sorted it out while it was in for repair, and I believe the guy who paints the Renegade bikes did it.

Termis came in the crate with the 748R, the standard baffled pipes were fitted from new. Open Termis were never standard fit as they will not pass EU emissions tests, nor UK MOT noise tests.
