A semi-official 696/796/1100 exhaust thread

[Sammadams]

how did they sound on the 696?  Leos are on the short list for my 796... 

I really liked the sound, from what I remember they were a very unique sound, but not too overpowering. I would absolutely recommend them.

Hello everyone, I've just joined the forum today, and my goal is to try and identify exactly what model of Leo Vince I am in possession of. Before anyone asks, NO I did not steal them, they were on the 2012 Ducati 696 that I bought on craigslist, which I have since totaled. So I am now trying to identify them to find out exactly how much they are worth, and I'm having trouble.

All I know is that they are some kind of SBK, which is all it says on the actual cans. So if anyone has seen these particular exhausts before, please, I am begging for any more information! Thanks in advance fellas

For anyone who might be wondering, I got a reply from a Leo Vince rep who says that these are from the "Oval" series model no. 8136, probably because they are ovular in shape...

Carbon or blacked out would look good.

Nice!

Mounted the Spark High a couple days ago...

My personal feeling is a monster is not a monster if it doesn't have dual high mount cans. Just my personal opinion.

[koko64]

Looks great. Very tidy.
I like low mount on the old dual sided swingarm models and high mount on the SSS models.

I've always been a low mount fan on the 1100evo. Been very happy with the SC project setup

I really like the SC race replica slip-on on the 1200

Finally got a set of Arrows on the 796!  They look pretty nice, construction is pretty good but the cans don't line up at the rear... the left can is 'clocked' a bit further in... someone at Arrow needs to reset the welding jig.  Install was easy enough, even without any instructions.  Biggest problem was trying to form the muffer band around the exhaust can, with the rubber piece trying to fall out all the time.

I was actually surprised... when I mashed the starter button the first time, I had to do a double-take to make sure I actually didn't have the factory cans on it, it was so quiet.  A subsequent 100mi road trip proved otherwise, however.  The low-end has increased a LOT, I can take it down to about 3200rpm now without all the herky-jerky, and the top end is much stronger; this on the factory ECU.

Pulling the DB killers out, however... jeepers! those things are loud!  As much as I love the sound, I will need to run the DB killers... after modification!

Anyone have any experience with the straight DBK's and how to mod them?  I've looked at a few videos, but most of them are for I-4 bikes with different DBK configurations.

[Charlie98]

I experimented with a few modifications on my Arrow DBK's, including adding holes in both the length of the baffle and in the end, but at the end of the day there was little difference... so I just chopped it all off.  Currently, the DBK's have 2" of pipe internally...

Full length DBK...



...and the modded (L) and unmodded (R) cutoff pieces.



Road test to follow...

EDIT:  Road test!

Took the 796 out Friday night... the cut DBK's are perfect!  Still more power and lugging ability, good sound without the boom.

One of these days I'll ride out with the DBK's in, and ride back with them out just to see if there is any real-world benefit to the extra noise.... but I find it unlikely it will be anything earth-shattering.

[Mhanis]

They look great Dennis!

Thank you, Mark!  I probably need to show them to you first hand... we need to come up with a ride, again, soon!

Low mount SC-Project that replaced Carbon Termis, so Termi ecu still there, along with PC5 and O2 Optimizer. Had her dynoed, so runs a lot better below 4000. No two dynos are going to agree, but mine registered 86 rwhp on this dyno. Since then 24000km service, and the mech said my desmo closing clearances were loose, so might have improved. Feels a little smoother, but I could be kidding myself.

[koko64]

 

You are correct to ignore the peak numbers and focus on the before and after curves.

What make/model dyno? Latest Dynojet dyno programme reads up to 10% lower than previous software on the same machine. Factory Pro dynos also read lower than previous generation Dynojet dynos. This is what industry insiders have told me.

Custom made 2in1 pipes on my M796abs and Hp Corse Hydroform muffler. In real, sounds is crazy, like proper Ducati....
