This is a modification to the stock exhaust of a 2004 Ducati Multistrada 1000DS.
Credit must go where credit is due. I would not have attempted this modification if it wasn't for Bert at Multistrada.net. Bert did this mod first and layed out the basics on the forum...and that was all I needed for inspiration. This mod has given me great sound, which in my opinion the stock multistrada lacked. And a bit more power which is always a bonus! What I also like about the mod is that it kept the stock exhaust look. This modification was considerably less expensive then buying an exhaust system. The total cost was around $350 with about $250 going to welding. Mike at The Four Wheeler in Boulder, CO took care of that for me, since I have never welded a thing. I fabricated the rest of the parts along with hacking the stock muffler apart. I chose to use 1 3/4 inch pipe. This gave a nice fit between the screw holes in the the existing cosmetic piece, and allowed me to attach these cosmetic pieces to the original bolt pattern. I don't have pictures of each step...so you will have to use your imagination. If you have any questions you can PM me at Multistrada.net, my screen name is Riceman.
