I know, I know. I posted this in the general category before wising up and putting it in Tech. My bad. . . but please read on.It's finally time for my 2008 S2R 1000 to be upgraded with a proper exhaust and start breathing without a straw poked into the airbox.
From what I have seen online, the S2R is the most un-supported bike in Ducati's current lineup for exhaust mods. I see a bit about the Ducati Performance (Termignoni) exhausts, and the corresponding ECU which comes with that kit, but not any dyno readings. It also sounds as though some of the exhaust modifications attempted are a bit hit or miss.
This is a bit worrisome if I'm getting ready to spend upwards of $1500, and I'm not sure where or how the power and torque will be affected.
The bike is currently stock, and i have a Spark header (cat eliminator), so a set of slip-ons would naturally follow. An ECU or RapidBike with proper set up would need to follow to work out any bugs, I'm sure.
I'd like to know specific accessories some of you may have used (hopefully with a dyno chart to indicate where and how your mod altered the bike's performance).
As another option, I had been seriously looking at the Akrapovic slip-on pictured below, which would mean I'd still need a RapidBike or
?
If anyone has any dyno charts from the Termignonis (with the DP ECU or with a RapidBike), or have fitted the Akrapovic please share your information.
I'm really looking forward to doing this modification, and I also understand every bike will run slightly different. But getting some knowledge before pulling out the plastic would be a help.
Thanks in advance.
