1200 R Exhaust

I had an SC Project exhaust on my Multistrada (2014 S Touring) and it was nicely made, but the short single pipe was LOUD, even with a baffle. I liked it, but I felt a bit anti-social at times.

I must admit when I rode the Monster R demo bike it was really quiet. Needs a half-way house - in my opinion it needs a longer silencer to provide a little more sound deadening.

 

I too am looking for a slip on for the 1200R - I'm not 100% convinced on Termi's and would prefer a 2-1 system. Looking around, the following is the most I've seen mentioned on another Forum

Monster 1200 R Aftermarket Exhaust - Page 4 - Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

 

The termi will have a upmap key, SC project won't so relies on the original map to fuel it.

Personally I'd want the upmap, for peace of mind that my engine is running sweet.

Not saying the SC project will kill your bike, but a map will certainly make things run a little more suited to an upgraded exhaust.

 

Nearly EVERY single aftermarket exhaust I've seen says that it doesn't need any mapping changes, so it's confusing as to why the Termi's would

 

Think I'd agree with that - if your're altering the main down-pipes (usually larger) then it's going to change the pressure's and will need changes to fuelling. Thing is, the Termi's are also a slip on so .......

 

My view is that that rule is fine for older Bikes, but newer tech bikes with a CAT fitted could well have some fuelling issues as a result.

Not 'needing' a remap doesn't mean the fuelling at hot idle won't be bad. Oxygen sensors control closed loop fuelling so at idle and part throttle the ECU will alter fuel trims based on the sensors reading.

My 821 definitely ran nicer when original exhaust than with the MIVV that I've fitted.

 

Oki, good to know. I'm new to the 'new' bikes. 27 years since my last bike, so it was carbs + jets in my day !!

 

I have the full termi system on my 1200 stripe, fatter headers, and it comes with a remap.

 

The 1200R already has fatter header pipes over the S and the Termi's for the 1200R only consists of the slips on as far as I know

 

That's correct, I have the 1200R with Termis and it is only possible to buy slip ons, I wanted a full system but it doesn't yet exist presumably because header pipe diameter is already larger than other models.

 

Thanks for the clarification. That's exactly my thoughts. Strange that Ducati think it needs a re-mapping when only the silencer's have changed.

 

My thoughts Ian on why they need a re-map is due to the bore of the Termis is larger than the Euro4 end can, meaning the flow output is different to standard. Its only a thought as I'm no mechanic

 

Whatever the reason, it certainly makes the response feel more immediate and smoother through the midrange than the demo I rode with the standard exhaust. Not sure if other end can options without the upmap achieve this or just create more noise. If only for childish reasons it's worth having as when the ignition is switched on and it says "racing"

 

I also think it would probably be smoother - for £1350 it bloody should be Lol

 

+1 on your comments Ducatiduc.

I was also told at a recent track day at Caldwell Park that the 'boom' from the Termis could be pretty much heard across the whole circuit! The sound test with baffles out at 5000 rpm was 103dB

 

Had my first service now. Happened to see a 1200R (waiting for it;s owner) which had Termi's on. Dealer started her up for me. So impressed - put my order in !!
