DB7 ZARD Full Exhaust - Ducati.ms

**desmoworks** · Nov 11th, 2009, 8:13 pm

ZARD is displaying their new full system for the DB7 at EICMA this week. Options will be full stainless, full titanium or stainless collectors with titanium silencers. My photographs aren't great, but you get the idea. They actually look a lot cooler in person!

love the looks.
but I still can't understand why Italians seem to not care about how they lay down the welds. Be it Zard, Ferrari, Fiat. I know it makes no difference in the strength of the weld, but if you are gonna lay down some welds why not do it well.

It's nice but I always wonder, is there a tuning/performance benefit to splitting back to two silencers? Why not save some weight and just do one? Is it purely a looks thing? Beautiful bike though.

I'm sure it works great but it's HIDEOUS.

Amen on that. The welds on my Titanium FMF pipe (off road) look 10 times cleaner than those welds.

In high school, my teacher was going to fail me in machine shop class because he didn't believe that I did the welds on the welding test. He made me go in the booth and show him right there. He came out an apologized, and ended up giving me an "A" in the class.

If I am going to spend big bucks on an exhaust, craftsmanship is a must.

Because people still buy the stuff, or at least don't say anything.

Hopefully it will clean up for actual production. Italians usually have better sense of style, and those welds are the pits. Dave
