Title: Zard Owners? Post by: scduc on June 29, 2008, 05:56:58 PM I know I have beaten this subject to death, but one more question please. In all of the photos I have seen, the pipes look like they have a "taper" to them.(Getting smaller towards the open end). I am getting close to a decision and just want to make sure they are right for me. Only other thing is getting a DP ECU without having to shell out for the termi kit.

And you can buy the DP ECU separate to the Termi kit. Mine was part number 96517906B. I put on the Zards, DP ECU & DP Open Airbox, had it "tuned" by my Ducati dealer and it was a new fire breathing Monster....

Post by: Wanwo on June 30, 2008, 05:23:31 AM I assume by 'pipes' you're refering to the canisters, in which case Big T is correct - slight taper. Not something you really notice unless it's pointed out to you.
Apart from the ECU (I run a PCM3), only other issue is the lack of a heat guard. I prefer the clean look of no heat guard. Just applied a heat resistance mod to my boot. Title: Re: Zard Owners?

Bigger at the end of the can(like "Big T" said) Which could present a slight problem if you ever considered shortening the Exhausr cans. I havent seen any one with the PC3/Dynojet or Rabidbike post any significant Dyno #s like the ones posted by the guys with the DP ECU. Rumor has it that Rapidbike now has a fix for our S4RS. Dam rumors :) Title: Re: Zard Owners? Post by: Big T on June 30, 2008, 01:21:05 PM Apart from the ECU (I run a PCM3), only other issue is the lack of a heat guard.

Me too. I think to many people ruin the look of the pipes by adding a heat guard; not worth the effort IMHO. |
