Termignoni Exhaust - Justification

[LSD4me]

Can anybody justify spending $1500 for a Carbon Fiber Termignoni exhaust system...i know it includes a new ECU...is that where the majority of the cost is going? Why are they sooooo expensive...Is it the carbon fiber?

The Ecu alone is 1200. And you do need it if you're putting an open airbox or pods on it, otherwise, your bike will run like crap.

But if you do get it, you will see a 10-15 hp gain on your bike, which completely transforms it.

Side Note...Will the installation of the exhaust void my warranty?

Warranty would be fine.

my S2R1000 went from 95hp at the crank stock to 95hp at the wheel after my Termi system was installed. Some weight loss also.

the DP (termi) exhaust kit is like one-stop-shopping, vs looking for another brand of exhaust, intake filter, fuel mgmt setup.

also, if you have a newer bike w/the O2 sensor, the DP kit is more hassle-free to get running.


and, y'know, termi is blingy, so that's cool, too

yup, to get it to work properly on the bikes with the 02 sensor you would have to buy other brand pipe ~1200 + flashing ecu ~200 + pcIII~300 + open airbox and filter/pods ~ 100 + dyno chart ~ 400 for a grand total of ~1900.

When compared to the DP kit ~1500 It doesn't sound so bad. Oh, and if you bought the bike from a dealer, you should be able to get them to knock down the price of those pipes about 10% if you buy it from them.

what bike do you have? on the 696 the DP ECU also gives you a higher redline and flattens our some of the low spots in the torque curve according to those who have it.

after installing my termi.I dont see red line anymore..8000rpm still going.but i dont really wanna hit 9k on my 696..

what is the price for the DP ECU alone?

every auto modifier should at least take a glance at this act
basically the factory can only void your warranty if they can prove that the part you installed caused the failure, and cannot extend it to other areas. aka if you did exhaust, and your suspension fails, they have to honor the warranty

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson-Moss_Warranty_Act

ex:  "Warrantors cannot require that only branded parts be used with the product in order to retain the warranty.[2] This is commonly referred to as the "tie-in sales" provisions[3], and is frequently mentioned in the context of third-party computer parts, such as memory and hard drives" the same applies to auto parts

personally id rather buy an exhaust separately and have a chip with a variable afr, the ECU is just a single remap, right? or is it variable?

I don't think I've ever seen one for sale by itself... it's part of what makes the difference btwn the DP slip-on exhaust, and 'full kit' exhaust

Someone around here correctly stated "Termis sound like God having an orgasm, pets burst into flame, men weep, women's clothes fly off...etc."

A little help here?

Friend of mine just got one for his (O2 sensor'ed) '07 S2R 800. Including the wonderful Norwegian 25% VAT it was almost $ 1,400. Deduct 20% from that amount and you should have the approximate US price ($ 1,100)

It is for sale BTW.

It'll justify the money spent money every time you ride the bike afterwards...trust me .
