I'll let you know in about a week Mine is on its way.

 

I've been thinking about ordering one (mostly for looks and sound) and debating whether I want to have the ECU re-mapped for that.

 

The stock ecu reflash is a MUST !!! Corrects so many issues with low end chugging and more pull all the way through. Also the o2's are turned off so its a full open loop system. Contact Dave or Jon at redline performance . Improves stock 796 a whole lot !!!

 

Thanks for the tip, I was considering Motowheels, I'll check out Redline too.

 

LV cat delete is one of the best mods. First thing I ever did on my 796. It takes off like 10 pounds off the the bike and gives what feels like a little more power. You will have some increased backfire with this for sure unless you run the dp ecu or remap. If you have the termi pipes with this it sounds fucking amazing. I would do this before any exhaust system because it just makes any system sound way better.

Got mine from here: LeoVince 2010-2011 Ducati Hypermotard 796 Slip-On Exhaust Link Pipe

This ^
Best thing I've done to the bike

 

But does it improve the lame stock sound if I keep the stock cans?

 

It did to me .. best part is it's a pretty cheap mod, saves weight and you still need to do the cat delete to get the best sound out of aftermarket mufflers ...YMMV though

Now that the bike has some miles on it the sound is deeper than in the video

 

Mine improved quite a lot.

I got an mwr filter being installed at the shop right now, will report back on that when the weather improves (fookin winter!)

 

I will be sending in my ECU to be remapped. I went with Motowheels.

 

ok sounds like you guys just convinced me. buying via motowheels too. i'm going to get my stock ecu reflashed so i would still have my DP just in case.

 

I strongly recommend calling Dave or Jon over at redline performance in Yorktown ,VA . Dave is known on a few ducati forums as "the doctor" . they also do dyno tuning. I've talked to a few Ducati performance guys coast to coast and they have all backed up his reputation on reflashes and tuning

 

LV cat delete on 796

Still have stock cans and it sounds bad a$$ !!!! Had no idea the stock cat would restrict the exhaust that much . Seriously doesn't sound like the same bike !!! You can now feel the exhaust standing 10 feet behind the bike !!

Sooooo are you saying that you no longer need an aftermarket slip-on exhaust system?? Hmm? Aloha Alex

 

Oh no Alex, the fresco slip ons just shipped from Italy yesterday . Have them in about 2 weeks . Then Pc5 and dyno tune . I've picked up a nice side job to finance all my bike mods .

Holy loud batman!!! It sounds so freaking good, its louder and deeper than my husbands 1100 with cat delete, don't know how that happened. I'm going to do a run with out the remap for comparison and then send it off, since I already paid for the remap, although not sure that I would need it.

 

Did you encounter any issues during the installation (eg: leaks)? Did you replace the exhaust seals when you did the install?
Thanks for the feedback!

 

I just posted on your other thread...agreed!! Sounds kick ass!

 

how about comments from bikes already with termis before the decat.... big difference also? i still need to get myself to buy it.

 

I also ordered these fresco slip ons to compliment the new pipes at half the price of the termi's . $790

How do you turn off the O2 sensors? Is it part of the ECU remap?

 

Are these Termi knock-off slip-ons?
How did you get them so cheap?

 

O2's were turned off with reflash. Just ask whoever does it . I used redline performance in Yorktown ,VA . The slip ons are made by fresco. Their an Italian performance exhaust
Company that make exhaust systems for way more than our hypers .

Cool. Where did you buy your fresco slip ons?

So you bought them directly from the manufacturer?
From the photos on their web site, it looks like they have 2 types of CF slip-ons. Oval shaped like yours, and round with metal ends.
Do both types fit the 796?

 

And also if your on east coast and looking for reflash call redline performance in Yorktown ,Va . 757-989-5000 and ask for Jon or Dave . They do the reflashes and turn off the o2's for $300 . In one day turn around . Shipping would be way faster than sending ecu to west coast . Dave has been tuning Ducati and aprillia bikes for years .

Not a problem ! First the leaking issue . If the pipe is leaking at the cylinder you will clearly hear a spitting/ticking sound coming from that area. As for the reflash , these bikes are shipped to USA extremely de-tuned to pass all emissions for both EU and US . In other words you could almost breathe the air coming from exhaust on a stock bike. ( just figure of speech). Its running extremely lean . Reflashing the ecu will eliminate the low end jerking and chugging by allowing a richer (more fuel) mixture which fixes the jerking. The bike also pulls harder throughout the rpm range simply because of the added fuel to the mixture.
The o2 sensors control the air/fuel mixture from 0-5000 rpm's (which is the closed loop area). That's why there turned off when reflash is done so the new firmware on the ecu has complete control of the air/fuel management from 0 all the way to the rev limiter. You would now have a complete open loop system which is what you want. Especially when thinking power commander or bizazz fuel control modules .
This is all to the best of my knowledge so anyone feel free to chime in if I'm not accurate with this

Hey something looks odd about those pipes but it might just be me. Is the part of the exhaust that connects forward to the mid pipe on the wrong side? I mean its on the right side of my 796.

 

I feel that mine are as short as you can make them before they are hidden under the light.

 

They're almost as nice looking as the Termi's but without the steep cost.
Ghost rider was lol but I have to be careful on youtube or I find myself 5 hours later looking at crap & wondering how I got there!

 

They are laying upsidedown . But I can see where it would make look twice .
