Here's the video @wxwax is referring to:I just saw a video on of a 1299 on a dyno, on Termignoni's Fb, with an under-seat exhaust. Does anyone know anything about this?
It does look strange. Perhaps a heat shield of some sort? Not for street for sure.The rear cowling / seat looks strange.
It's a 1299, so there is no seat (stock at least), however the rear cowl cover and trim pieces are off.I don't see anything special about the rear end it just looks like the seat is off to me.
Just going off the video, there might be individual pipes to each cylinder? Just speculating, but maybe a side result of this testing is understanding whether or not having a manifold is beneficial; scavenging might not be a big factor for twins.is this exhaust setup more efficient or something? Curious why termi would go this route instead of sticking with the forward or normal exit systems they have now.
Yeah. Either way, seat, no seat, un-installed cowl and side panels removed, your arrow appears to be pointing to the undertray, an OEM part on 1299s and 959s. At least thats how mine came :wink2:It's a 1299, so there is no seat (stock at least), however the rear cowl cover and trim pieces are off.
The strange piece that @dougo1199 and @DarR are referring to I believe is that cantilever looking thing off the end of the light.
I guess you're right, just at that angle, looks a lot more square than it is.Yeah. Either way, seat, no seat, un-installed cowl and side panels removed, your arrow appears to be pointing to the undertray, an OEM part on 1299s and 959s. At least thats how mine came :wink2:
That's one opinion. I'd love to see it in person so that I can make up my own mind.Not digging it, panigale undertail is incredibly beautifuly designed with US exchaust tucked tightly under the bike is a thing of beauty..
That pipe adds unecessary volume under the tail not to mention heat. But Euro specs guys might like it
Even with a race bike it isn't ideal. You want the weight to be as low as possible, and by moving the exhaust to the rear and up top you are moving the weight higher.that's perfect for a race bike, certainly not for my 959 that'll spend 95% of it's life on the street - no way am I putting the stock appendage back on to hold the license plate!!! If that's even possible...
