A semi-official 696/796/1100 exhaust thread

[Slim1899]

Slim1899, It's like any other Ducati.  It get's pretty hot when your not moving.  The exhaust itself is ceramic coated, I can actually touch it after long ride without burning my fingers.  As for the tailight, no issues there.  I have ridden the bike 1-2 hour trips and my tail lights still looks brand new.  As for burnning passengers, I could not tell you.  After I knocked up my wife she's no longer availble to ride with me plus I recently remove the passenger pegs/stock rear set in favor of a woodcraft rearset.  I'm ridding solo now, so no passenger burn test.  

That's good to hear and congrats on your wife being pregnant!

Here's the Leo Vince ll SBK Carbon on my 796:


Rear view:


Quality was excellent, installing was not quite as good.  The two elbow connectors look the same but they are not.  Had I put the three inch square diagram that poses as instructions under a microscope I would have noticed the different part numbers.  Had to find out the hard way.  One side is still has a little movement in it, nothing I can do seems to make it as solid as the other side.

With the DB killers in the sound is sort of OK at idle, just a bit deeper, but they come to life when the wheels are turning and sound really great (but not that much louder than stock).

DB killers out?  Awesome..... but I'm not sure if it might be a little bit too much for my somewhat aged taste.



So I'm contemplating some minor surgery on the killers (above) to maybe find an in between level.  Anyone have any suggestions as to cuts/holes?

[wannabfast]

looks like you installed your tail light in upside down dood, those cans look good though!

[cyberswine]

Upside down?  I thought something looked a bit odd with the Evotech.  Doh!   bahaha I is truly a idiot.
Thanks WannaB, it will get fixed......... sometime

No no, thats intentional...its underglow for the pileon!

Cyberswine, can you let me know where you got your exhaust and if you don't mind, how much did it run you?  It's tough finding parts for a fair price up here.    Thanks. ....Steve

BAHAHAHA!  I saw this and immediately thought....."hmmmm.  That looks eerily familiar to how my back light looks, and I knew something seemed wrong."

It seems I too have another project to do........sometime. 

Although I have to go back in there anyhow.  I just put the Evotech kit on my bike last week, while also swapping out the signal lights for LED's, but I didn't put resistors on, so now I need to go back into the wiring to do that too.  Sounds like another couple hours in the garage while the other half looks after the kids!!

They seem to be a little overpriced for what they offer though. Definitely my favorite exhaust for 696/796/1100 that is currently offered.

Then again anything is better than my H-Comp..

Got it from Monsterparts, (where else?)  Geoff's price is competitive but then there was shipping, tax, duty, brokerage blah blah blah.  Probably about 900 Cdn in all.  Same as the Vance and Hines CS Ones.  Had them ordered from Dennis Kirk for a couple of months but seemed like they weren't ever going to arrive in stock so I gave up on them.

$2100!! I would like them better if they were a bit higher, but that is just me.

What do you not like about the H-Comp? I think it is the best looking system out there but the db's scared me away.

Exactly what you stated, the db's. I love the look of the H-comp system and no other system really comes close in terms of aesthetic appeal for me.

However, it is way too loud. To clarify how loud we are talking.. I enjoy loud exhaust. I have GP exhaust on my gsxr and it's loud but it sounds good.

The H-Comp is on another level of loud entirely. It is ear piercing and ear wax liquifying. I find myself trying to ride without making too much noise rather than just enjoying the ride. I even installed a fabricated db killer into the tip in an attempt to help. It did, but only slightly.

I'm currently toying with the idea of buying custom fabricated mufflers and mounting them under the bike using the H-Comp mid-pipe and a fabricated 1-into-2 adapter that would allow the attachment of 2 real mufflers under the seat.

Very similar to what DoWorkSon has done with the Yoshi RS-5 but with 2 smaller mufflers; probably from 2-Bros.

I too have thought of the idea with my H-comp mid pipe.  I was actually thinking of using 2 Competition Werkes under the seats.  Why Competition Werkes exhaust? There still loud but not ear bleeding loud and they look good.  I loved them on my 848 Streetfighter.

I'm looking at several exhausts that I can modify to fit under the bike accounting for heat and proximity to the underside.

I was looking at these:
Comp Werkes
2 Bros
Yoshi RS-5

I just need to find a local shop to fab the 1 into 2 adapter and then fab some mounting brackets.

Thanks. I'm down in Idaho now for vacation and ordered a set from Jeff on Tuesday. Having them shipped to me here and then I'll take them home with me. Should save some cash that way. Excited to get them and try them out!

Trying to install my LeoVince Carbon's on my 2011 796 and I've got two issues:  First, I can't get the two pipes to look the same from the back.  One is either lower or closer to center than the other.  I've tried it a few times and still can't get them even.  Call me picky but they should both come out the back at the same height and angle.

Second, they're not tight.  There's mention of an exhaust gasket in the "instructions"  but I didn't have one stock and the kit didn't come with them.  Anyone else notice this?  I haven't started it up yet but I'm assuming it'll leak as much around the pipes as what actually comes out the back.

Any help appreciated!  I'd love to get this thing out on the road ASAP. Thanks. ...Steve
