Fair Price for this system?

At the risk of someone here snatching it up before me any thots on this system and the price. My off the cuff makes 350 Euros about 470 USD plus shipping. Oh for my 99 ST4

If they are in good shape, the price still seems a little high, but aftermarket cannisters for ST bikes are getting harder and harder to find afaik.

Seems pricey for older Carbon cans.....

There could be heat-spots, most likely needing a re-pack. You never know the real condition until you get them home.

IMHO, if it was for my ST4s I'd wait and find something here in the states. I've seen here in the last year the same thing here in the $250.00 a pair range.

While Carbon cans are cool, on a ST4 aluminum, Ti or stainless is also quite nice........

Best of luck

Keep looking , I would not pay that for a used set unless I had the opportunity to look closely at them and maybe even try them out.
You will see better for less if you are patient.

There is not a whole lot of information on this set. It looks like for sale is only the exhaust cans and not the DP ECU or air box mod that is part of this package. The last DP exhaust I saw on ebay sold for over $1500 but that was a new system. I would stay away from this and keep looking closer to home. Limit yourself to North America unless you are getting something from a dealer like Ducat-Kaemna. My .02c.

Matt is putting together a group buy for Spark exhaust this month that will make a NEW system not much more than what you are considering for a used system.

Spark exhaust group buy for ST2/ ST3, ST4 and ST4S

The Spark exhaust are a better finished product than Termignoni, come with removable DB killers and have spare parts available.

Spark makes exhaust for AMG and a lot of other tuners and do prototyping for Ducati and others. I have a system on my 1098 and Streetfighter that makes more power across the entire range than the aftermarket systems that were on before.

No sparky for me.

This set says it's a used set,it may have some damage or not,the box in the pic looks like its been kicked around.Now for the spark beer can's i myself would not use them cause there junk.Had some riding buddies who had them on there bike's and all said there crap.These guys have been around so i will go w/ experience rather than speculation's.I stand w/ my Termi's, and Staintunes,they have been proven the best world wide for the ST Line and my bike runs great w/ both of them.Just saying.

I've not seen any in the flesh personally, but as Radical Ducati use them almost exclusively, I find it very hard to believe that this is the case.
