Here is the sound comparison of STOCK vs. CORED

Doesn't sound bad! Any noticeable power increase?

Nice,

And Thanks

That rocks! Great pics and write up!!  It sounds really nice.

Too bad I dont know how to weld or have a band saw, I'd be on it in a flash.  Will take the covers off and paint, that looks simple enough.

You looking to do this for money?  Happen to be in SoCal?

I don't know? I guess I could if there was a demand. I am in Chandler, AZ. Someone else suggested I could do it for a fee.  These were the first pipes I did for myself.  I have a guy bringing me some to do for him next week. It takes about a day to do them both.  As for the power increase, I would say maybe a tiny bit on the top end of the revs, but I would not say the famous line "YOU'LL GET MORE POWER!!!"

Chandler, AZ.

Only 400 miles away, hmmm...   [moto]

Well if you get the urge to charge and do this for a few people, post up and I'm sure you'll get a few takers (including me)

Thanx Ryan, took my bike in for it`s first service yesterday and guess what happened ?

Dealer: That bikes way to quiet
Me: Yes
Dealer: Lets Core the cans for you, this is the first one we got so lets see what happens
Me: make the beast with two backs yes, what about warranty and fuelling issues?
Dealer: Don`t worry


Please don`t show this to anyone related to Ducati Warranty Office

nice job..but its not a job for everybody.

a question came up on the Mivv thread about the heat of the exhausts.

everyone knows the stock cans get reallllllll toasty and the heat shields help a little.
also the CF cans reduce the heat on the cans themselves but haven't heard about the metal parts.

was wondering if coring the stock  exhausts and taking out the cat reduces the heat of the exhausts?
is there a way to get a temp gauge and go from the crossover back mapping the heat of say every 2 inches of the stock system and then compare that to the cored system.

it just seems without the backpressure and no cats that the whole system would cool down a bit.

great job
were you planning on putting the original aluminum cover back on ?
if so is it just hammer back on? I guess it would depend on the welds.

Taking out the CAT will definitely reduce the heat. My 848 stock cans had the CAT in them and they got extremely hot. The carbon Termis I have now don't get hot at all...neither do my carbon MTS cans. My Titanium M900 cans didn't get hot either.  None have/had CATs.

I cored my old 620 cans (which didn't have a CAT in them), but there was no noticeable heat drop after coring.

I've done a few of these as well for local guys.  I'd be willing to do them for a fee, if the OP isn't wanting to get into it.  I posted a thread in the Minor sponsor board.

Did one with the cat, one without.  Noticable difference in the heat department and sound department for sure.  Taking the cat out is a bit more complicated, as you need to install a perforated tube and pack the muffler, without it, it's not really nessicary (the cat provides the sound restriction).

I would be able to do cored pipes, and I have another exhaust on the shelf and another coming on Friday.  If you want your cans done send me a PM. Ungeheuer you got a deal! I need to go say hi to my buddy Dave Besnard down there. Is he still driving V8 Supercars? (don't know if you keep up with that).....Big Troubled Bear, you will like the way they sound, everyone at the shop here without a doubt said 100% improvement on the sound.  I am picking up the aluminum covers on Thursday from being anodized black.  I will post pics of the completed cans then.


Regards,
Ryan
