The cost is as follows:

The fuel management box they are speaking of is available through us for $239.95.

Please see the Techlusion website for more info on the TFI-1047ST
http://www.techlusion.us/home.htm

Please let me know ASAP how many you would like so we can get them coming.


About the Headers, here is a write up from Staintune:

Performance:

While the Ducati MH900E is all about looks and style, it’s also about functionality and performance and lets not forget the whole point to a Ducati, that always identifiable simply superb Ducati note!!

In-house on the Staintune dyno there is a 4 horsepower gain with only the Staintune mufflers fitted, by adding the sleek and stylish Staintune header system and you will gain another 2.5 horsepower a total of 6.5 with no engine modifications. If you were to add a Staintune Fuel Injection Module SFi 1047 you could expect another similar gain again.

What the dyno doesn’t provide is that rideability factor measurement, according to our R&D test rider its F*#@ing awesome! Throttle response is instant roll on is sharp and torque to spare, power that’s smooth on delivery and quick on the uptake. Torque peaks out at 76.5Nm

Weight savings:

There is a 1Kg weight saving between the standard system and the more desirable Staintune system, but really who cares about weight when you have that style and that note.

I want to know about the sound:

The Sound is simply classic Ducati, its not harsh but deep and sensual, purrrrrfect!!

No Restrictors: 97 dba @ 3000 rpm

Finish and Style:

Unlike the standard header arrangement, the front header travels neatly under the bike with a loop collector from the rear header which then enters into a sleek splice and upward pipe which again splices at the top to the mufflers. The system is as you would expect from Staintune sleek and highly polished Stainless Steel.

So what will perfection cost?

Part No: DU HS MHE Header & Collector set $ 550.00 AUD inc GST

Part No: DU MS NHE Twin Muffler and fitting kit $ 1,100.00 AUD inc GST

If you really want to extract the most enjoyment from your riding then you need to take the plunge, add value to your motorcycle and value to your riding experience.

www.staintune.com.au

If you would, please direct your orders to me so I can make sure we are getting the appropriate discounts on group orders. I'd love to get the $90.00 discount. Also, they sent me a photo, but it is inbedded in a "Word" document, and I cannot separate. Is there anyway to upload a "Word" file?

Thanks,
Brian

Heya speedbagger, john c has them, I had them and have misplaced them , I spent an hour looking through my pics to find them but they seem to have gone west.
That sytem on the NCR bike is beautiful and I say (but only in my opinion) that the Sataintune system does not look anywhere as nice.

For anyone running the bike sans sump it will look very unusual, I think Ducati struck it better with the front pipe as is.

I'm afraid you're right, Andi By the way, nice way of saying that it will look bizarre / goofy on MHe's sans faux sump.
Why couldn't they have copied your design (you didn't patent it, did you?). It's elegant and will work on bikes with and without. Bummer, I've been waiting for so long for these equal-length headers and now this. Ah well, maybe that someone else .......

Heya Ron
I offered pictures and I even offered my template which I was gonna fling over for free, no patent on my system, maybe I should have

I feel the original front pipe is the winning look hence I did not change that at all, my system was only to refab the front pipe intermediate section to balance the pipe size and to create the equal length rear, we only got an additional 1.5 HP more from my header set, this I believe is the fact that the crossover/balancing of the pipes is not done until it meets the muffler box whereas the stainetune system does it under the sump and closer to the heads.

Both brad black and Alex Ortner said the same thing about having an earlier crossover will induce more HP but less torque and my setup will induce more torque with a little less overall HP gain.

Makes sense and I am cool with mine.

Let's do a head-count of the sump-less crowd and answer the following questions:
(1) did you not order the Staintune headers because you removed the sump and feel that the large air-gap between header and actual sump in the current design will look weird?
(2) If Staintune comes up with a modified version for the sump-less crowd (essentially the same, reduced air-gap, front header will have different shape), how likely are you to order one?

I have already contacted Ricky Erwin, sales manager at Staintune Australia and his R&D people will look into this when Matt's bike with the proto-type headers is back at their facility in 3 weeks. No promises made on whether they will build it; need to check feasability and costs first.

i roll sumpless and am probably going to keep the stock header....unless someone gives me their termi titainium!! until i put a built ds motor in her i'm content with being down a hp or two.........

speaking of termi, why didn't staintune run the same route? i know the diameter is bigger, but wasn't the termi's too?

lastly, although i'm not big on the staintune routing, i'm sure everyone is appreciative of staintunes originality and efforts.

Running the same route would conflict with Staintune's "design-charter" to create a equal-length header system. The lengths of the Termi-headers are very different
