Hey everyone, I would like to get some insight on what everyone knows about the 57mm Full-Termignoni for the 999.
I purchased my 2006 999 3 years ago and ever since have wanted to upgrade the exhaust. I have always had two major problems with stock Ducatis. They all seem to run very lean out of the factory, and they don't sound like a true Ducati should. So for the past few months i've been investigating Termignoni, Zard, Arrow, and a long list of exhaust systems that could not only solve both of these problems but give my bike a more race-bred look. I settled on Termignoni and decided that it was perfect for me. It comes with the ECU, and everything else, plus Ducati backs it up. I also decided to go for the full system. I loved the idea of getting the extra hp and basically having the meanest pipes made for the 999. So heres what happened...
I got the system and immediately decided to polish it and have it installed on the bike. All I have to say is that this pipe is amazing! The noise it gives off and the larger look it brings really gives it a right off the track look that I love! The only thing is that right after my first good ride with it on there I noticed that the lower section of the fairing closest to the kickstand has started to melt! (Picture Below)
I know there are other threads covering this but I had a really hard time finding them so sorry if things are repeated here. I called Lexington Motorsports where I had it installed and they are working on a solution for me and contacting Ducati North America but i'm not sure what happens now. Have any of you had this problem? Is it an instillation problem or a bike design defect? Being that my bike is not an *R* it didn't even occur to me that the bike this exhaust was designed for had carbon fiber fairings. However Ducati sells this as an accessory for all late model 999 superbikes. Please let me know what you think about this and if you have had this problem in the past what would you recommend doing?
Thanks everyone!
