Title: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on November 30, 2009, 05:35:19 PM G'day everyone,
i have been looking at a heap of yank websites but i don't know who to trust... What brand did you get? why did you choose that brand? Where did you get yours from (Oz?, website, bike shop) Would second hand ones be ok? Cheers, Marty Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Betty on November 30, 2009, 06:16:55 PM Marty,
Might I suggest you have a think about what you prefer first ... general look & size, material, price perhaps ... maybe even the type of sound. Most retailers only sell certain brands so a recommendation for retailer X won't help you if you don't like any of the pipes they sell, etc. BTW mine are custom jobbies ... not the most economical route to take and may be limiting in choice of materials, really depends on what you are after. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Betty on November 30, 2009, 06:58:22 PM Oh yeah and if you are struggling for inspiration have look at the 'show us your ride' thread here or the 'official bikes of the dmf' thread on the general board. With a hundred pages of pretty pictures you never know you might be able to find something which might help.
If you find something that can be identified it will make it easier to search for and get help. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on November 30, 2009, 07:29:57 PM thanks betty, problem is after the meet i saw lots of things i liked! lol
i like the oval, carbon fiber pipes... Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Betty on November 30, 2009, 08:21:32 PM See there's a start. Low mounts?
If that's the case I will jump in before Matty, Goldie & Yellow Meanie and suggest having a look at Mivvs. I think PJ (PJs Parts) still sells them but may not have pricing on his website ... you may need some mounting brackets though. I would have thought that style would be relatively easy to find ... and I am sure others would have some suggestions for you. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on November 30, 2009, 08:22:21 PM Hey Marty
The best place to start shopping is with the board sponsors < < < < You'll find them down here on the left side, they are well used to shipping internationally and the little AUD is getting better day by day against the US greenback or whatever colour it is being printed now. Go shopping there to start. Then hit www.monsterparts.com (http://) www.pjsparts.com (http://) www.revercorsa.com (http://) all good places in my and our experience. Now get blinging that Monster, Xmas is coming. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on November 30, 2009, 08:35:01 PM See there's a start. Low mounts? If that's the case I will jump in before Matty, Goldie & Yellow Meanie and suggest having a look at Mivvs. I think PJ (PJs Parts) still sells them but may not have pricing on his website ... you may need some mounting brackets though. No need for brackets unless you are planning on changing rearsets. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: dragonworld. on November 30, 2009, 08:55:10 PM Got my High mount Arrows Carbons from Chris and Candice at CA-Cycleworks.
Good price, excellent service and very reliable. [thumbsup] [clap] Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Yellow Meanie on December 01, 2009, 12:33:15 PM Hi Marty,
As Betty said, I would do some researching before you spend your hard-earned. I love my MiVVs, they are exactly what I wanted. There's plenty of pics, and a couple of videos of mine. Have a look at my "Thylacine" thread in Ozmonsters, and the "MIVV slip ons" thread in accessories and modifications :D YM Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: vossy on December 01, 2009, 02:35:05 PM Marty, another place you could have a look at is www.corsa.co.nz (http://)
I bought my midpipe for my S2R1k cheaper from those guys than anywhere else. They sell various makes of pipes. with the exchange rate to the NZ dollar you can't go wrong. I think by memory they sell alot of Marving exhausts for Ducatis Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Paul W on December 03, 2009, 07:29:56 PM I got my marvings from monsterparts.
Overall very happy with both the service from Jeff, and the pipes themselves. I went with the marvings as they had what I wanted (left/right high rise cans in carbon) and were the best value for money. I would also have liked Arrows, but they ended up being very expensive. Drop me a line if you want more details. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 04, 2009, 01:42:39 AM i have sent a few emails for prices and postage ect...
Paul w would you happen to have pics of them mate? also did they come in low mounts aswell? Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on December 04, 2009, 12:39:26 PM Marty you'll find most manufactures make there pipes in both high and low mounts.
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Paul W on December 04, 2009, 01:36:25 PM i have sent a few emails for prices and postage ect... Paul w would you happen to have pics of them mate? also did they come in low mounts aswell? No worries. PM me your e-mail address & I will send some off. I haven't worked out how to upload on this site yet. [bang] Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on December 04, 2009, 03:49:09 PM They need to be hosted elsewhere i.e. flickr, photobucket etc....
Once they are you copy the image location and paste it between image tags >....... (http://....in here.....) The image tags can be found above second in on the left under the italic button. cheers Matty.... Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 05, 2009, 03:01:51 AM still awaiting replies to my emails...
bit of a bummer... i would like to organise something before the fat guy comes... Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 08, 2009, 12:43:35 AM Ollie i have sent emails back mate...
Awaiting your reply ;D Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 18, 2009, 12:59:07 AM Ok going against everything that was said previous... [laugh]
After Several hours on photoshop working things out, I bought some high mount pipes from a member on here... They Look so cool!... hahaha (http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo127/monstar_100/internetsafe2.jpg) (http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo127/monstar_100/internetsafe1.jpg) Thanks Ollie! Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Betty on December 18, 2009, 08:47:25 AM Congrats Marty.
I would guess she sounds a little bit different now. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Jukie on December 18, 2009, 11:25:38 AM now you have to get rid of the indicators
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on December 18, 2009, 12:13:47 PM Excellent Marty.
Now you have a real sounding Ducati Monster, not the "singer sewing machine" we met that other week. So what does Ollie have on his bike now! OR has his Monster been sent to a new home. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 18, 2009, 01:14:46 PM Much better sound,
When i ride the monster my face would look like ;D Ollie was saying he has a new set of pipes... Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on December 18, 2009, 09:36:35 PM yep that's it, once you get pipes ;D never goes.
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Paul W on December 20, 2009, 12:54:37 PM Looks very nice now!
Good quality pipes there too! Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 20, 2009, 01:42:36 PM thanks mate
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ollie on December 25, 2009, 07:27:42 PM Nice Pipes Marty, they look the goods and I'm sure you'll be happy with the sound [thumbsup]
So what does Ollie have on his bike now! OR has his Monster been sent to a new home. Not a chance, i'm completely addicted to this bike and and the 'to do' mods list seems to be growing all the time, probably correlating with time spent on this site! I've just put on a set of sexy Marving reverse megaphone pipes, I'll post some pics soon Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Monstar_100 on December 26, 2009, 12:28:09 AM very pleased Ollie! As you said mate not Obnoxiously loud...
Its so good! Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: goldFiSh on December 26, 2009, 11:42:19 AM One thing thats guaranteed to bring a smile to all of our faces - new pipes!
Awesome [thumbsup] Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: loony888 on December 31, 2009, 12:15:59 AM looks good, the hi rise really slim the bike down, and being carbon are safe for your pillion, they fit very nicely, nice big outlets too!
paul. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ollie on January 05, 2010, 06:05:34 PM What I replaced the remus cans with, that Marty now has on his bike.
They are Marving - made in Italy, classic looks, great fit and finish and they sound great, couldn't be happier with them.

Post by: mattyvas on January 05, 2010, 11:23:07 PM Looking nice Ollie, think you might up for some black wrap on those fork tubes.
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Dannog on January 06, 2010, 12:02:11 AM I lov those pipes! :o
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ozducati on January 22, 2010, 05:28:16 PM anyone like these pipes??
we are the Australian distributor for MetalTech (rearsets & clutch covers), and will soon be getting HPE exhausts.. this 1100 belongs to the owner of Metaltech, lovely guy, is mates with Jakub Smrz, of WSBK's, and started making rearsets for him, has now expanded and is making them for the 696/1100 / soon the Hyper/multi and other models..

Came across them (HPEs) when I was looking for my pipes but couldn't actually find anyone that was stocking them. Not a fan of the welds on the cans though. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from?

Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Jukie on January 23, 2010, 02:47:36 PM Hey Oz,
Betty's pipes are custom made locally where we live. The guy business is Foran exhaust Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from?

The guy business is Foran exhaust Cool, have heard a lot of good things about Dennis over the years, and seen some of his very nicely made hardware... Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Jukie on January 23, 2010, 06:25:39 PM Mine are also foran exhaust
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Six95 on January 23, 2010, 06:53:31 PM Mine are also foran exhaust What Jukie? Cant hear what you saying. Your pipes are too loud! Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: heatherp on January 23, 2010, 07:17:01 PM Thanks for the warning.
Pack earplugs for riding behind Jukie in Tassie at Turismo - check. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Betty on January 23, 2010, 07:39:31 PM Thanks for the warning. Pack earplugs for riding behind Jukie in Tassie at Turismo - check. [thumbsup] Bugger that. Pack earplugs for when you are riding in front of Jukie. Yes (IMO) they are that loud ... almost makes mirrors redundant. ... and I am not going to comment on whether there is a need for earplugs when not riding ... Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Dannog on January 25, 2010, 11:34:44 PM ... and I am not going to comment on whether there is a need for earplugs when not riding ... Too late, I think you just did.I like Jukie just the way she is ;) Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Mr.S2R on January 26, 2010, 01:22:01 AM My exhaust came with the bike - full set of termi, including cat eliminator pipe. Excellent look and noise! Just on legal noise wise I would say - but then again loud pipes save lives!
If I had to buy another exhaust I would go the Quat-D ExBox. Look awesome and sound wicked! Couple of youtube videos on them! Actually you can google youtube videos for monster exhausts for both look and sound! Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ozducati on January 27, 2010, 02:44:18 AM you mean like this Ex Box?

Post by: mattyvas on January 27, 2010, 12:07:03 PM Nice looking pipes or box.
Certainly cleans up the look of the rear on the Multi-noodle. Likely lot. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: heatherp on January 27, 2010, 01:32:11 PM Looks to me like the Xbox lessens ground clearance a bit. Would this be an issue on the Monsters? Like on the track?
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: tonymtber on January 27, 2010, 11:48:07 PM Looks to me like the Xbox lessens ground clearance a bit. Would this be an issue on the Monsters? Like on the track? Yes ground clearance is an issue....I have scraped mine a few times now so I'm aware of the clearance. Once was over a speed bump a low speed, now I know to lift my bum. The second time was when I was pushing hard on a secondary road....hit a big lump of bitumen mid corner & the tail of the ex-box hit. Since then I've lifted the preload on the back end up a bit & so far so good. Plus its worth it for the cool look (if your that way inclined) & the sound! Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: heatherp on January 28, 2010, 12:49:04 AM Thanks for the feedback tonymtber.
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ungeheuer on January 28, 2010, 01:32:57 AM anyone like these pipes?? (http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww206/Michael2511/METALTECHracingcomponents2009_Page_.jpg) Not a fan of the welds on the cans though. +1 on the welds. Although other than that I like em lots...Last time I saw that bike it was wearing Zards.... (http://mota-lab.com/images/full/DUCATI/zard-monster1100-3.jpg) I however am in lust with the look of Boom Tubes. (http://www.motocreations.com/dmf/M1100BoomTubed.2s.jpg) (http://www.motocreations.com/dmf/M1100BoomTubed.3s.jpg) (http://www.motocreations.com/dmf/M1100BoomTubed.1s.jpg) (http://www.motocreations.com/dmf/M1100BoomTubed.4s.jpg) And whilst the cheer squad back in the USA is a whoopin' and a hollerin' with rapturous enthusiasm, I cant help but wonder what effect on power output chopping the exhaust system in half would have. You dont see race bikes wearing such abbreviated systems now do ya, and I'm sure they'd be happy to save to the weight. So...... whats the trade-off? Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: heatherp on January 28, 2010, 01:44:36 AM I think the Zards look pretty ugly in that context. The 1100 looks better with the other pipes (whatever they are?) And maybe the Boomtubes are just for looks rather than performance. But at least you wouldn't be scraping em.
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: mattyvas on January 28, 2010, 01:54:28 AM Yeah I'd agree Heather looking at all those options the shotguns look the goods.
I did like the Zards when I first saw them. I like the minimal look of the Boomtubes, I am sure Mark would not have let any loss of power affect the design of them. Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ungeheuer on January 28, 2010, 02:10:55 AM Yeah I'd agree Heather looking at all those options the shotguns look the goods. Yup I agree with all of that Matty. Be nice to understand why most exhaust manufacturers need the whole thing yet with Boom Tubes I can apparently have cool, minimalist looks and yet lose no power ???I did like the Zards when I first saw them. I like the minimal look of the Boomtubes.... BTW the shotguns dont look so sexy here >> (http://www.hpe-auspuff.de/DU_15AT_003_1a.jpg) From HPE, the manufacturer's own web site.

Post by: Brett76 on January 28, 2010, 04:33:07 PM Saw that colour at the Syd Bike Show - at the time it did start a rather robust conversation about what target market they were going after
Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Betty on January 28, 2010, 04:55:54 PM Hey! What's wrong with pink vehicles?
But is that a real photo? I think I'd be reluctant to use the brake pedal on that bike in case it welded itself to a hot exhaust (doesn't quite look right to me). Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: Mr.S2R on January 28, 2010, 05:02:46 PM Hey! What's wrong with pink vehicles? I think it is a matter of depth from the photo - considering there is no background. Would be scary though drag a bit of back brake in a corner and it doesn't come up as like you said it welded itself to the pipe! :)But is that a real photo? I think I'd be reluctant to use the brake pedal on that bike in case it welded itself to a hot exhaust (doesn't quite look right to me). Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from?

Ive been know to wear the odd Salmon coloured Polo shirt, but there is something a little off-putting about a Pink (or Lilac) Monster Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from? Post by: ungeheuer on February 13, 2010, 03:25:19 AM I came across this full titanium system from Moto Corse (out of Japan?)...

The only thing more striking than the exhaust system itself....is the price :o ... around 400,000 Yen - which by my calculation comes out somewhere in the region of AU$5000. :o :o :o More info here >> http://item.rakuten.co.jp/motocorse/c/0000000225/ (http://item.rakuten.co.jp/motocorse/c/0000000225/) Title: Re: Where'd ya get them pipes from?
