Euro 5 exhaust options

GUNSHOT muffler slip-on set for the Ducati 937
QD Exhaust of Milan , Italy , has released this new Euro 5 street legal twin titanium GUNSHOT muffler slip-on set for the Ducati 937 . The kit is composed of a 1 in 2 stainless steel TIG welded 42 mm diameter link pipe and QD GUNSHOT series mufflers with thermo injected magnesium and removable dB killers . The kit is Euro 5 homologated and fits onto the stock catalyst converter . The link pipe is equipped with fixing brackets that work with the stock heat shield and no mapping is needed if used with the dB killers . As all the QD Exhaust products , it is covered by its special 30 months extended warranty by activating the provided service card . Also seen here , this new full system for Aprilia RS / Tuono 660 models ( also Euro 5 homologated ) is TIG welded and made from AISI 304 stainless steel . The 42 mm header pipes have two machined bushings where the O2 sensors are plugged . The 2 in 1 link pipe located under the engine connects the headers to the central catalyst housing - " this is how the system is able to achieve Euro 5 compliance ". " A Racing mid pipe is also available to increase the power for track use . The final link pipe is 52 mm diameter with a carbon fibre heat shield - designed and produced in our QD COMPOSIT R & D department . " The muffler is available in two different versions - Titanium Gunshot ' Dark Matter ' and Titanium Tri Cone . The outer can of the muffler is in titanium , finished with a high temperature-resistant ceramic coating ; the end cap is made in carbon fibre for additional weight reduction . The GP style grid hides the easily removed dB killer ( with the grid still being used ). " Alternatively , our distinctive Magnum Series Tri Cone muffler can be mounted instead - it too has a removable dB killer and comes with a thermo-injected magnesium end cap and titanium body ."
