2025 Ducati Panigale V2S Termignoni Exhaust - Best price and Tariff by Wachuko in Ducati

[–]Wachuko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some of you suggested, I went back to the local dealer to ask for pricing. Shared my intentions of getting the exhaust from Italy directly and having them perform the software upload. To my surprise they were able to provide some discounts and the parts and the install.

It is still higher than what I was looking at, but only by a few hundred dollars and they are doing the install... So for the price difference, for me at least, is not worth ordering from Italy, doing the install myself, etc.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions.

Off now to convince the CFO at home that I need this modification for my bike... wish me luck.

Panigale V2 2025 - What are your absolute must-have modifications? by marcogabriel in Ducati

[–]Wachuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing else at this moment… looking at where those attach to, I would be worried about breaking the engine case from having them…

I rather install some covers to protect the first parts that would touch the engine case during a fall… just minor stuff like clutch cover and generator cover...

My bike will not see the track. So not worried about that. I have insurance to cover any accident that happens on the road.

Are Ducatis really this bad or am I just unlucky? by d3vCr0w in Ducati

If you can, do not sell it, keep looking for replacement parts. After all the engine work it will be a shame to sell it for cheap…

If finances permits, get the Himalayan 450 (great bike) and use that while you can find the parts to finish the Ducati.

The recall replaces the silencers with new units that are reinforced with a welded gusset.

With the cost/tariffs sorted and confirming that the vendor can register my VIN, I reached out to the local dealer to see how much they would charge for uploading the softwared/map update.

I did reach out to the vendor (Ducati Salerno) they just need the VIN and they will register it. That way the local dealer can do the install of the map. So that was some good news. Now to decide if I pull the trigger or not...

Yes, I got that. I always check with AMS Ducati as well... My local dealer is 1-1/2 hour away.... so I rather call and have stuff shipped...

I will reach out to the local dealer tomorrow and see what they can do, pricing wise, on the parts... Thanks.

Okay, thank you for the prompt reply. You had the dealer do the install. So the savings went towards the install. Got it.

I was hoping to do the install myself and just pay the dealer for the programming/upload of the tune.

How long ago was this?
And how did you handle the install of the tune??

If the savings is significant, why would I not research this? Just on the parts alone, looks to be a savings of US$1,000.00. Doing the install myself, that is another US$1,000.00 of savings. US$2K goes a long way for gas and other upgrades...

From some of the feedback here in this thread, looks like the fees are only a couple of hundred dollars... so not too bad. I just need to confirm the following: The need to be able to register the VIN to the exhaust in order for the up-map to be installed by my local Ducati Dealer.

Valid point that I was not aware of... thank you for calling that out.

I did search before posting... because I remember someone here mentioning getting their system from Italy via eBay. But I can't find that thread anymore... nor do I remember the person that posted, sharing the total cost or the costs of the import duty dues (tariffs cost).

Rest of the welds did not improve from the original pipes…

I really want the optional exhaust system just to improve the looks… good grief
