Termignoni full titanium exhaust system with race chip
The main reason for purchasing the full Termi system with race chip was to get rid of that annoying stutter when the butterfly valve opens or is opening/closing when you are trying to maintain a particular speed, typically where it's somewhere the police are a concern and you want to maintain speeds within the posted limit. Not sure if stutter is the right technical term to use but it's not a surge, it's a drop off in power before it comes back on. Very annoying when you are riding pillion and helmet smack together! The full Termi system with race chip resolves that problem and the bike is now such a pleasure to ride, with smooth power delivery from low RPM all the way up. And that's with the decibel reducer installed. I tried it removed and it was way too loud, definitely would have drawn unwanted attention and the bike runs great with it installed so it doesn't concern me that I might not be getting maximum power. The engine does have some mild popping sounds on deceleration that was not there before. I brought the bike to an authorized Ducati technician and he said that was normal and not to worry about it. Another bonus you get from switching to the full Termi system is losing that huge catalyser. I should have weighed both sets of components but I know I shed a significant amount of weight by losing that big hunk of metal. Installation was not difficult and all parts fit together pefectly, with no cobbing required as I've seen with other aftermarket systems and bikes over the years. Overall I am very happy with the system and find that it was well worth the US $2300 I paid.
