On the S&S site there are so many warnings and disclaimers and conditions to purchasing the darned thing that it makes you wonder if they actually WANT to sell the the suckers.   Could the 2 into 1 they show actually be the exhaust version of vaporware???

The S&S is in stock at various places. I can get one here in a couple days if wanted.  I am calling Tek today though to see what their ETA is on their pipe.

Wonder what the advantage of having a cat on the pipe vs. no cat.

It makes you wonder, S&S show a race only exhaust on a road bike, why would a race bike want Cats in the exhaust.
I suppose it's just emission regs butt covering BS so they flog these exhausts to road users and keep on the right side of the law.

Learn to spell! There's a big difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

It's good to hear that they can actually be purchased.  The skeptic in me wonders if they can be delivered though.  OK, I'll STFU. ::)

Don't know much about these as regards availability, price, etc.

I do like their approach to where they route the cross-over in the middle of the run.

That is a good looking exhaust! Having heard many Termignoni exhausts on Ducatis I'm sure it will sound as good as it looks. The lack of a heat shield right where your leg goes is a little disconcerting. Also are the pipes just changing direction or is there actually a connection between them?

I wondered the same thing. It would not surprise me if they did. If not _ it would be so easy to invisibly join them right at that spot.

Termi teased those prototype pics back in 2019, but 2 years on they still haven't got anywhere near production. Covid delays blah blah.

Hi, thanks for the welcome! I am in Northern Indiana.  Anyone have issues with the aftermarket exhausts and check engine lights?  Link below is for the exhaust I want.  I've put on the short fly screen and have the bar end mirrors coming too.

I’m in Wabash. Not too far. I’ve been to Goshen and Granger many times. I also had a Janus for 5 years.
