Not without a rear stand. This front stand rests against the bottom of the forks.

I agree guys. Pipes are worth the money but yes, putting back to stock. (just the rear plate holder and turns)

It's fast enough to hurt myself already.  :D ;) I sit and look at the plumbing hanging underneath and it is a hunk of metal. Must weigh 30+ pounds.

Oh Lordy.

Arrow Full Exhaust system for S2R/S4R

The Full System exhausts for the Ducati Monster S2R/S4R Exhaust
by Arrow with legendary Arrow quality are the perfect aftermarket
exhaust additions to replace the exhaust systems. Available in
titanium (homogolated with removable DBKiller) or carbon fiber
Racetech.   Installation of this exhaust system is really easy on a cool
engine.  Comes with headers, link pipe, springs, heel guards and
carbon hangers. Eliminates catalytic converter (boat anchor). No
remapping required for your Ducati Monster S2R or S4R and you will
get about 5-8 hp

GOD, I hate you guys.  ;)

It's going to take more than 9 minutes I can tell you that. I read somewhere the interval but forget. 15K I think.

Was recommended due to age not miles.

Just like GL1000's. The first thing I did when I bought mine a couple years ago was to replace the timing belts. Much cheaper than replacing an engine.

Understood BD.

I have been doing some reading on the Arrow exhaust. More research needs to done so this "possible" upgrade is on the back burner.

Some issues were fitment, dealer support to the point they won't take them back and yes, even the manufacture.

Erratic idle and possibly having the ECU set at the Dealer. No dealer close to me.

Moving the OX sensor. (no biggie)

Will see but not now. Other things in the fire.  ;)

One thing about getting up at 0200 hrs. the Inter Web is a lot faster.  :D

The Arrow exhaust seams to be the exhaust choice on the Ducati. I have read 8 or so pages on the full system.

The issues:

$1265.00 shipped. Minus.

Some have no problems. Plus.

Several had to have the ECU trimmed at the Dealer. I have no dealer close to me. Minus.

Several had fitment issues. Minus.

Some had return issues even if the wrong pipe was sent. BIG minus.

Recommended to change exhaust donuts. No biggie at $20.00 a pop. Several had exhaust leaks and some had to use sealer. Minus. Come on, big bucks and sealer. Yeah, minus.

So I look at the slip on system which includes the mid pipe.

The issues.

$982.00. Minus.

HP improvements per Web Page indicate same gains as the full system. Not sure about that. Neutral.

Looks killer. Plus.

Sounds better. Plus.

Expensive upgrade for looks and sound. Minus.

The best choice I have at the moment is just to leave it stock. The sound now is wonderful in it's own right. Plus.

I don't have any issues just ride the damn thing. Plus.

Still looks good for a factory exhaust. Plus.

It's a Ducati. Plus..plus.

Full system. 5 minus. 1 plus.

Slip on/mid pipe. 2 minus. 2 plus. 1 neutral.

Leave it be. 0 minus. 4 plus.
