That cat converter is so uggly...
I'm trying hard to focus on the SC exhaust, but my eyes cant stop looking at that useless part.

Ya Chouch ... and That is the Good Side !!

As a first time Ducati/new 796 owner I am really keeping a eye on the forums for sound/performance options and this is the first I have seen ... Very Cool !

Tested ? OK with stock ECU ? What about OEM turn signals ??

As it has been pointed out on this forum, new exhaust systems will a big challenge on all new 2010 Hypermotards (both 796 and 1100) thanks to the Siemens electronics (ECU and dual sensors on the cat converter), slip-on mode will be easy.

cassos .. that is good because I am on a slip on mode budget ! Love this SC in silver w/ the black end cap ... Well Done SC .... don't see OEM turn signal fitting w/o some slef fab ...time will tell.

Don't worry about the turn signals, ask your dealer about the turn signal bracket relocator from the Termi full system, it's only about $20, and that's all you need to spend. It might even have one in the SC kit.

The plate bracket is available from SC-Project but it will be for the Euro plates. It will have the angle pieces to fit turn signals on. We are working with them on a US plate bracket that should soon be available.

Alternatively you could do this:

Hopefully a cat eliminator link pipe is in the works from someone.

No doubt Motivation ... where there is a will there is a way ..... You know, the HM twin exiting exhausts was one of the stylish points that caught my eye and reeled me in .... but now, ... I feel the cross pipe connection (no matter the brand) of the slip ons is SO inefficient...I know SC has a true two pipe setup .... I have kids that will want to ride with me so I need to keep back seat leg room in play.

Motivation - can you post a sound byte some time ??

I am going to follow the 796 HM pipe development closely so I can make the best decision come tax cash time.

Again ... the SC setup looks clean as hell. Just beautiful. Also love the black HM. I really really was torn with that color .... but I figured my first Duc Had to red.

cassos ...or Motivation... I am wondering why two O2 sensors would cause problems with a new 2010 Duc's and their exhaust/ECU... seeing that they are before the cat should it be a problem?? ... As long as the new systems has two O2 taps.

The issue is not about two vs one O2 sensors, but the entire electronic of the bike switching to Siemens instead of Marinelli. It will be much harder for after market exhaust systems, and ECU overide boxes to come up with solutions. You best bet will probably be once again to buy the exhaust you like (full system), and buy the DP race cam kit which should now come with a new Siemens ECU. Again, I am not an expert, but guys like Anthony, Guido, & all can explain more.
