Yeah it kind of has a Harley type sound to it now but still has the Ducati growl on decel. If your ever lonely well this will get you all the attention you need. Other great news Mark contacted me upon seeing this thread and has offered to send me a new header .

The BoomTubes def. do have their own sound.. I thought my bike sounded kinda like a HD untill I went riding around with my buddy Frank who has a Buell with a "custom" exhaust on it. My bike def. doesnt sound like a Harley

All this likening of the sound to harley engines is pretty strange, and quite opposite of my experience. All I can say is the videos just can't capture the sound properly. I've been running boomtubes for months and since I've got my popping issue resolved, the sound is incredible and nothing like a harley. I've had this happen twice now, where somebody is around when I fire the bike up and they say to me, "sounds a lot like a harley," then I go ahead and rip the right handle a couple times and they follow up with "wow, nevermind!"
I wonder if anybody who's installed the termi kit on their harley (yes, termignoni produces exhaust systems for H-D) thinks it makes them sound like a duc...

If I may ask what did you do to accomplish this ?

Taken this past Saturdy under the "L" in the city.... After more than a few attempts it really is hard to get the video to capture the sound these setups make.. Was going to make the videos with the stock/closed clutch cover on the bike but ended up stripping one of the bolts in the process Once that is resolved I will have an "on board" video of me riding thru Lower Wacker Drive to post soon... Nice hat bro.

Many folks might not agree with me. They might say you would do better with the DP ECU. I tried installing the DP ECU and it did not work properly. I installed the PC and got it dynoed and OMFG what a difference!

I cruised by a local "ducati" night last night here in the city and talked to more than a few Monster owners with aftermarket exhaust. Pretty much all had their bikes equipped with a PCIII and they said after some dyno tuning their bikes have never ran better.. So this is def. the route I am going to go come this winter (for next season). I can have the PCIII installed and the bike dynoed for the price of the Ducati Performance ECU alone..

there should be a sticky on every ducati forum to do this 1st! it's a dream come true experience of smoothness, optimum fuel mileage, and power. every time i twist the throttle i thank myself for the $3K investment.
