Notice the numbers with DragStarr exhaust vs stock exhaust in the Race ECU thread. Over 10 hp gain (just header) and 20 hp with fuel module addition! That's a lot of improvement.

Great lets see one of the pipes polished with a different canister and cleaned up from the prototype ?
I need a real clean looking pipe that says wow!
like the rest of the new bike the pipe needs to look new,
I am glad we have UFO working hard on the new Max ,
( I don`t think anyone needs to defend any products
that sales its self)
But For most Vmax guys looks need to play a great part
I will get a new pipe and use it so it needs to work!
and look awesome and have options ....
Tell us more about the pipe and show us lots of pics and
data with cool details of the system and options
and tell us what it does and does not do,
so people that see it for the first time understand
we know unlike apples they do not grow on trees
so no need to defend the price.

Jon- There does appear to be slight differences in the Standard ECU and the Race ECU. Will this have any effect on the Max tuner we would need? or are the differences irrelevant?

I know everyone says it only removes limiters.. but I am pretty sure it idles differently, and the midrange felt different on the few short miles I used it. Just curious...

First of all, thanks Jon. It's great to have choices.. and it sounds like they are well thought out ones. I am still waiting for the bike to be delivered, but as soon as I am ready, I plan on picking one of the choices you have laid out for us. I plan on showing the wife the CF goodies for the bike, then telling her that I'll just get an exhaust... that ought to price shock her into full agreement.

If there are any people that are still cringing from the price, it cost $1800 for Carbon Fiber SLIP ONS and chip for the 02 Ducati 998, and it didn't free up anything close to 20 HP.

One question... If we opt for the Cat eliminator and tuner, and later upgrade to the full system, are there plans to reprogram the first controller to be compatible, or do we have to purchase the controller with the 4 into 1 (or 2)? Thanks.

Jon, I am looking for the kat removal kit with a max tuner. I am also thinking of the race ecu as it seems to still help over all. Is it a waste of money? Do you think it will work better with the max tuner? When will you have the kat kit ready? Many are waiting and excited!

thanks

Very nice performance gain on that sysstem - the next 15 or 20 Hp will probably cost allot more - at least that has been my experience. What is the weight loss with the new exhaust system..... as they say - in drag racing weight is horse poser.

My comment was not a dis by any nature. I was curious for some details. Price seems legit to me. I am a capitalist. I think all the people working on upgrades for the vmax should be given a big thankyou. Blueta, UFo, Oliver, guru dude, yes bad_max too for keeping me sane with pics, mods and stories. This site has some great people on it and I am very thankful for all of you.. Now get back to work...lol.. were getting 4" of snow today..

I agree and thanks to all involved,and take this oppertunity to welcome all the vendors.I am interested in a 4into2 plus fuel mgmnt and curious about clearance issues.Keep up the great work.

@Chuckie.....Canadian potholes Eh??
