From: TMack on 7 Dec 2008 05:18 Having just had Termignonis fitted to my ST3 (see earlier post) the sound is now "exuberant". I began to wonder about where to get it MOT'd when the time comes. I will have a word with two or three of the nearest friendly places to see what their view is on exhaust noise. However, if it looks like there might be a problem I have stumbled upon a brilliant, inexpensive and quick solution.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "TMack" <tonyREMOVECAPS(a)REMOVECAPS.dsl.pipex.com> saying something like: > See here, near the bottom of the page: >http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/technical-help/2078-passing-mot-termignoni-s.html Excellent mews. I did something similar using a dog food tin, but it was a woofer of a bike. |
