GPR Pipes?

[jagstang]

So, I was about to pull the trigger on a used set of Arrows from a guy on TOB right before the switch, and now he won't respond to my emails.  So I start looking at other options around the net and found these at OnCycles in the clearance section:

They're cheap, look so-so, and I don't know anyone who has them.  In fact, I've never seen them installed on a bike besides the one GPR uses for it's photos.  Worth a shot?

[stopintime]

I'd say it must be worth a shot at that price. Pictures are of CF, but the offer is for titanium, right? The cans look great, but the pipes have to be ceramic coated or otherwise hidden - 'cause they look worse than homemade?
A while back I considered the carbon fibre slip ons for my S2R 800 '07, but all the potential problems with any aftermarket system other than Termignoni for the Euro3 engines put me off. The low price still bother me compared to the expensive Termignoni I ended up with. So, if you're able to modify with PC and such (I'm not) - go for it!

You can find videos on Youtube if you search GPR and Ducati.  There's a vid of GPR's on a 695 that comes up all the time.  There are some other bikes with GPR as well but I think they're Jap 4 bangers.

I ordered a set last week that was supposed to get here yesterday, but now they say will be here Monday.  Anyway, from what I can tell the GPR's are supposed to be pretty high quality with good fit and finish.  I think they sound OK based on what I've seen on youtube.  At one point there were some people on TOB who bought the GPRs and I remember good reviews from them.  The only issue was fitment on bikes with tail chops, but that's with any exhaust really.

Also, see this thread http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org/index.php?topic=1795.0 for thoughts on titanium vs. stainless.

someone way back when TOB was cool, had a GPR 695. let me tell you. it was the SWEETEST exahust ive ever heard. I wanted one on my m944, but i already had slip ons. Heres the vid for it.

I've got their CF low pipes, and the finish and sound are quite nice.  When you consider the price, they are even nicer.

+1.  There are some slip-ons that cost that much.

I have the Ti high mounts and can say that these are of good quality and sound. I replaced my low mount Remus Ti with these, due to some rash and the fact that I wanted high mounts...good overall, great price.

helped w/the install for elTristo... the hangers are a bit... odd... but it's a snap to line up and such.

they look and sound really good, to boot

[jagstang]

Well, I guess if people have had good experiences with their products, they're worth a try.  Especially at that price.  Here they come...

UPDATE: Free shipping, oh snap

Just keeps getting better!

[Sgt_H]

Yeah, I paid for the three day shipping hoping to get them by Friday but didn't.     Oh well, gives me a project for tomorrow

I like the sound of these cans, but the shotguns for the S2R are just too long, just like the Termies... Can't handle the length, especially with a tail chop...

[ducati_steve]

I have the Ti highmounts and I like them.  They sound very good, and look good....compliments wherever I go (which was true before these pipes on, though!  ).  The Ti does hold onto fingerprints really easily, but a quick rub w/ a microfiber takes care of it.

[Sgt_H]

I just got mine and am in the process of putting them on.  The instructions leave a little to be desired since there are a few parts that I don't know what to do with.  Hopefully their purpose will become clear as I go.

[ducati_steve]

Haha, I'm not sure I would call these instructions!  But the pieces do show their place as you go along, it's not too tough.  Let me know if I can help you out with anything!
