Ouch. Is that with ecu etc.

Where abouts are you in Ox? DavidEJM is down that way and I often pop back on the odd weekend, if you ever fancy a spin sometime.

Hi walpole, was that £800 all in ? including fitting ?
Here's what my local dealer is charging for the Termi's

The stainless removable baffle racing pipes are £575.36

The carbon removable baffle racing pipes are £771.51

Lastly the titanium homologated (road-legal) pipes are £1005.99

All of these slip-ons also come with performance ECU & air filter.

Fitting would be 3.5 hours at a cost of £236.25

Lastly the Ducati tail tidy is £118.04 and would take 1.5 hours to fit at a cost of £101.25.

£800 was fitted price for the carbon ones,think they will have to go one at first service,rear carbon hugger was £200 but was not different enough from the standard one to be worth it.Tail tidy might look good though

Might have to get in touch with them
Would of thought the dealership's would all be quoting the same price's though...not to pleased about being potentially ripped off to the tune of two hundred pounds

Jeeez - How friggin much!

If your quotes are right I make that £78.75 an hour labour for the cans, but oddly £67.50 an hour for fitting the tail tidy :confused:

Either way methinks that's taking the pi55 :thumbsdown:
