The great Ducati 748 exhaust experiment

Ever wondered what a Ducati sounds like with different exhausts? Probably not, but just in case you're curious, I've put together a quick demo.
This video shows a standard Ducati 748 Biposto with the standard, road legal exhaust, then a carbon Termignoni race exhaust, then with no exhaust at all. The microphone does it's best to capture the sound of the last one but I think you get the idea how loud it is.
Incidentally, the high-pitched clattering sound is the dry clutch and is part of what makes a Ducati sound so crazy.

[@blfhatboi]

Not that to many of us have a ducati but on behalf of the people that do thanks for taking your time in doing this.

[@davidstonner]

it's like some friggin jungle cat screaming at the end! love the termi sound.

[@233kosta]

"Did you remember your earhole pluggers?" "WHAAAAAAAT?"

[@redsquirrel1101]

Love this! Sounds like a Wildcat! 😱

[@dinozoiks]

Fantastic! 2 things just happened. This video just passed 200k views (which is mad) and the google ad revenue just nudged over the £60 mark, which triggers a payment. I'll be sending it straight on to the charity Riders for Health, who do an amazing job supplying transport in Africa. Seems appropriate. Thanks for you help! Here's to the next 200k…

[@andrewe46]

i smiled at the no exhaust

[@cxbra]

Thanks for the beautiful vid, the no exhaust messed my head up but that Term. exhaust is nuts!

[@TheReapersSon]

My manager has a 748 with the Termi's, and you can hear it coming around the corner on the other side of the building. I love those fucking pipes!

[@SMG59]

Sounds awesome!

[@fish4kbcf]

That is the sound you hear just before you enter hell. Awesome bike man!

[@dinozoiks]

I have made 2 small children actually cry by revving my 748, even with the Termis on! I know I shouldn't be proud of that... but secretly...

[@ItWasWrittenInBlo0d]

No exhaust sounded like a panther, that's bad ass

[@Spraaaaay]

O_O Sounds like a tiger purring :D

[@rerell]

Cool video!

[@davidtheking341]

standard is good enough but the race pipes are crazy

[@indeathsembrace666]

great vid!!

[@fallingwatersnz]

I dont know a single ducati owner who doesnt have termignoni exhausts. They sound so much better.

[@hamwitch]

hella funny with no exhaust your camera make it sound like a wild puma or some shit very nice vid

[@reizalfi3310]

got recommended in 2021 :)

[@sunshowerpainting1]

Just picked up my 2000 yr 748 with stock exhaust. Sweet music to the ears....

[@indeathsembrace666]

sounds like a demon without the exhaust haha

[@Lampelys]

Great video! its just something spesial with the italian bikes and cars. but cant put my finger on what it is. =)

[@SiCrewe]

Terrific vid. This vid actually convinced me it'd be okay to buy a 748 with Termi's for the road. Unfortunately, the clutch on this bike sounds like a tambuorine and is detracting from the zorts. Get the clutch sorted (an extra plate in the basket will do it) and it'll sound 10 times nicer.

[@MrChutney]

That is possibly my favourite comment on youtube so far.. Good work :)

[@ealenzo]

Kind of better with race exhaust! Good idea ;)

[@tommysixx82]

sick,sick,sick!

[@PSNjizzcake]

The race exhaust is obviously the best sounding

[@DRthirdLEGGED]

that thing sounds like a panther when without an exhaust... mean beast

[@freshageVI]

Looking at getting some 45mm termi carbon slip ons for my 748. would go for the full 50mm system, but 1) not enough money and 2) far to loud for the local plod. Great vid mate Chris (Ducatisti)

[@velhonen]

Nice biceps mate.

[@alteracofblizzard]

SICK !°°

[@aidos107]

Duke 998 with one touch exhaust bypass here i come! cant be too hard... surely. A little suprise to scare off the Japanese squeelers and even worse, the four wheelers (and keep the cops happy... sometimes). and honestly, is there a cougar roar dubbed over the top of this this for the final show? Beautiful sound.

[@Thinguns]

Och, gotta keep those race cans on there... "what's a baffle, officer?".

[@SoccerFanTX]

It sounds like a giant robotic lion in heat. Which is a good thing.

[@jorgeluissantos77]

his face at 1:06 priceless!!!! LOL

[@NaeJoy]

@ItWasWrittenInBlo0d lol that was the sound of the camera microphone distorting because it was too loud.

[@hardtackjack]

Haha I do like the carbon exhaust a lot...although the Ducati minus exhaust is pretty intense lol.

[@stubab]

nice you have a nice bike :)

[@dinozoiks]

Wouldn't dream of it, I have the road legal cans on ... officer... ;)

[@MysaviorJesus]

Cool!!! It does sound like a cougar or jaguar or you get the point

[@TheElmotorolo]

hermoso. Es COMO MÚSICa para MIS OÍDOS!!! BUENA MOTO..!! BEUTYFUL BIKE!

[@mccanngers]

Its nice I like

[@dieselturbo16]

i tried it on mine, they sound like a harley at idle haha high rpm's they sound mean, but loud enough to give you a hemorrhage and very uncomfortable to cruise at. good for getting a lot of unwanted attention also.

[@attackRus]

@toskoforce that sounded sick! tho sounded like something ready to kill something like a cheetah or panther

[@LeninsBoyToy44]

jesus, that thing sounds like a pissed off cougar without an exhaust

[@tribulation138]

sounded like a tiger at the end..lol

[@dinozoiks]

Hmmm. Not sure. Assuming you have the right and left the right war round (doh!) and you haven't got 50mm / 45mm pipe mismatch issues (double doh!), mine just slotted straight on. They are a struggle but offer up pretty much straight away. Springs were a faff though. Can you not ignore the 'vertical' and just use the silencers on the old vertical pipes? Hope you get it sorted. It's worth it, especially on a 996!

[@Yiloyildirim1990]

Nice moto

[@FlemishBloke]

really short ones you need

[@willmckeand]

sounds like a cheetah howling or something :D

[@neogeoo1]

my best motorbike dream.. one day i'll have it ... italian rulez

[@BenTV73]

Lol! Bet your neighbours love you.

[@RawkStarrGL]

Press 2, than 5, than 8 to see the different looking :D

[@mustangfeber]

its angy!!!

[@instruct2008]

nice bike, Termis rule. Do you still own it, or sold it, just curious.

[@dinozoiks]

I think it's because titanium can look a bit like the standard cans. And schoolboys can easily spot carbon, so it's always better to go that direction imo.

[@dinozoiks]

At least it'll give to time to save up for the servicing costs! :)

[@dinozoiks]

@Hotsauce172 My last bike was a GSXR with Micron carbon can. We got through many knee sliders together... :0)

[@heartlesspinto]

That sound i think was the camera mic. The exhaust was too loud for the mic ha ha.

[@gallejugon3350]

Termignoni

[@mccartn3y]

Japanese bikes ftw!!!! but ducatis are good too

[@jaskogti]

no exhaust solves all sounds problems=))yeah)

[@jhardy66617]

i did that on my F3, and for an old bike it sounded like a slightly higher pitched gp bike

[@ENRIQUEGOITIA]

does it improve performance??

[@droppinsumfudge]

@TheStoopidFun haha i was gonna write the same thing but you beat me to it

[@Sidrcride]

I had that bike once...... never again would I by a Ducati

[@Dranreb865]

The annoying sound of that dry clutch ruins the nice exhust sound.

[@rattanalauguico]

standard sound like those mopeds

[@acerocks1995]

i think the race exausts sound better

[@StevenWillmy]

Need to get the damn camera somewhere it can handle the noise of the bike without bonking up.

[@Kleo84]

i would liek to hear the "NO pipes" on the road. :)

[@djj6452]

Quarantine?

[@KDD8]

no pipes...MY EARRRS LOL damn headphones

[@cjlowndes]

I hope you warm that up before reving it

[@dinozoiks]

@allenroebuck LOL. Naah, still in pieces. Running, but in pieces.

[@moparman2303]

nice id go for no pipes

[@jacktheripper0194]

@Hotsauce172 I like ducati O_o

[@dylf14]

CHEETAH!!!!!!!!!!

[@MicaNy]

nice bike !

[@myveryown07]

you need to open the garage and put the camera outside

[@weedwhackerman]

I would like to hear one in real life with no pipes....

[@AlexanderTatsumaki]

hahahahahahah omg :D , nice sound from them carbon cans though,, i pref titanium on my bike. do you know if there are any ducatis running that, or am i just beeing silly ?

[@ddani86]

Termignoni titanium in aftermarket parts for race use but i prefer the carbons

[@skittlepower95]

@Hotsauce172 wtf ducati = ferrari of the bike world yamaha=nissan of the bike world

[@leerjudd]

i did this with mine, it is deafening. ducati rules

[@operaclaudia]

マフラー無しの音が最高。それで走って下さい。

[@wowerman]

allways race cans will be lauder

[@oscarpark1523]

Straight pipes instead of mufflers would have been best. . Anything to overcome the desmo typewriter

[@Fullmoonwere]

Sounds like my chevelle without exhaust.

[@MEGACAT41]

実に欲しいバイクだ(^_^)b

[@dinozoiks]

@operaclaudia 警察はそれを好きではないでしょう ：）

[@dinozoiks]

It's catching! Check out the video of a BMW GS with different exhausts. Search KZbin for k1mZ8UnKT6o.

[@redyoshi1985]

Wow with no pipes it sound like cougar, too bad you cannot run it like that for long, Least I think not, My education is on cars if you run them ong with open headers you will suck cold air into the engine and warp the valves, is that the same on the bikes?

[@spethy123]

:-)

[@cyclevlogger]

carbon fiber sounds just too sick! Nice bike man. What year is it? Check out my hot moto chicks video on my channel man...

[@magicpipes]

can't hear anything over your engine rattling. At one point, swear I heard a mountain lion?

[@ninjaaaaaa1]

i hope u left it with no cans!

[@dunchooby]

hahaha, sounds like a couger

[@AhilMohan]

a little bit of pee came out!

[@tedb5891]

keep no exhaust

[@Thermoman69691]

Sure it wasn't your wife screaming at you to shut up as that too would distort the sound recording? No pipes should be road legal Good test btw
