Zard Full System Stainless questions - Ducati.ms

Hey guys,

just picked up a '10 sfs and i've got a question or two about the zard full system... i dont seem to notice any of the fueling issues around 3500 rpm that everyone has so that's not too big of a worry.

i'm looking heavily at the ss zard full system it's not too far off price wise from a termi slip on kit, but i just have some questions.

what kind of finish does the stainless system have? i can only find pics of the ti version and i was wondering if they did it matte like the ti or shiny like normal ss.

does it completely clear up the right heel issue? i've seen some people say that it has, but is it completely gone or is it just less than before?

finally, for the non homogolated full system, it will def require a reflash to remove the o2 probes and the exhaust flapper or else the check engine light will come on? or are there provisions for it now in the system like the remus full kit? and if i am going to reflash, would be reflashing it to a full termi setting sans flapper/closed loop be worth it till i get a pcV/bazazz/etc? i think i will eventually get a bazazz, but right now i just want to keep it simple.

i'm planning on getting a undertail kit and i'm aware of the turn signals clearance issue, i just cant find enough info on the rest of it.

thanks for any help!

I have the Zard full and Termignoni slip-on.

The Zard sounds closer to a MotoGP bike with rising intensity and the Termignoni sound like a classic Ducati 4V with a much gruntier and flatter sound.

The Zard is tuned for high-RPM power and better suited for track use whereas the Termignoni is more suited to street use (read: hooliganism) with more usable torque between 2500 and 6000 RPM.

All that, running with a Doug Lofgren map that was originally made for the Termignoni full system, along with a pair of balance-matched injectors.

All in all, i've enjoyed two different bikes with merely the cost of my time to swap exhausts when I felt like it.
