I got bored in the rain last night and drilled out the stock mufflers on the GT,only I did it from inside the exhaust tube that kinda bends in to the side.tough place to drill,any way it sounds like one pipe is clearly louder than the other.now bloody what?I dident get to road test it for any other suprisesyet,looks:think::think: like a new set of pipes in the future:think:

Sounds like you [email protected] up dude. Lol. There is a huge thread on this already, with results and all. Do a search and re-drill. Or use this as a nice excuse to buy some termi's.

Better off drilling your Mrs if you get bored than your bike mate .

At least it still works and acts the same in the morning

If you've done your drilling right, it usually improves morning behavior.

the drill and my ducati are not friends, they don't even know each other exist.

.....to be augmented by the cost of expensive appeasement jewelry!

can you imagine the greif I would get if she knew I ruined another set of pipes on a second new bike,oh man!gentlemen please lets keep this quiet.a few of you guys are trying to help me,the rest are just laughing,shame on you,s

just keep drilling til you get them to sound the same.

For some reason the song "Lola" just came into my head.


For what it's worth, you might be able to undo your drilled holes somehow. I've had sucess undoing a similar mod using steel wool, but you will need some kind of fastener to secure it.

It simply amazes me that people who own a Duc would attempt to take the cheap way out to get something done on their bike. Just buy a new exhaust...if you want to go about it in a truly right way buy new headers as well.

Start fresh and both you and your Duc will be happier for it.

I just happen to have a pair of stock GT cans in my garage that I will be happy to sell you if you want them. I'm sure Ducati's price is around $1000 apiece. Mine would be a small fraction of that.

Give me a PM if you want near new stock cans.

I too messed up my pipes by drilling holes. I tried stuffing steel wool in them but it just blew out. I'll try wrapping them with Duc tape.

I played with drilling the mufflers out and it worked for me. I needed a better tone so I made my own setup. Fun and creative. I for one never had the dough to invest $1800 in Termis. Good if you can. But for around $150 I did my own thing and am happy with it.

Here's a good thread on the topic. http://www.ducati.ms/forums/showthread.php?t=58356

You just needed an excuse to tell the misses that you need new pipes because they broke. I see it now : )

I have seen and heard these on DucBeak's ride. Tre' cool and tre' cheap. If you are looking for something different with those two criteria in mind I would recommend starting here.

HA! Duc Tape........

 

[jonniedee]

I remain undrilled to this day - never felt good about possibly F'ing up my factory pipes. Glad someone (sorry it was you) gave credence to my reserve on this matter...
