Title: Ducati ST exhaust solution Post by: TAftonomos on December 28, 2009, 06:36:06 AM I couldn't afford $1100 for a exhaust system on a touring bike, couldn't find a reasonably priced used system, so this is what I did:

If you don't want to core them yourself, cost would be $325 + shipping to return.

use stainless gauze and it will last longer than your bike, that's what staintune uses in their sealed cans. nice job though! [thumbsup] and you have the original cans in case the po-po [leo] come after you... :D Title: Re: Ducati ST exhaust solution Post by: hcomp on December 28, 2009, 08:46:00 AM Nice work! It looks like you kept the cats so there is still back pressure too!

I don't believe the ST2 had a cat at all, they were under Euro1 and bikes were not required to be catalyzed.

Cats? No cats on an st4s that I know of...(or an st2). Maybe an ST3? Unsure, but what I am sure of is it sings now with a cut lid and the pipes. The reflashed ECU will be icing on top :) Title: Re: Ducati ST exhaust solution Post by: hcomp on December 28, 2009, 09:30:38 AM It's silent sport packing, it's not fiberglass.

I believe the US distributor is in aneheim ,ca You can also get it on line from numerous places. |
