I have had my 1100 for two weeks now. A the first service I would like to get the full termi manifold and silencer kit fitted. Has anyone done this and what are the gains after remapping. I did the same on my 800 icon and it gave loads of extra low down stomp which is really useful, not to mention a way cool exhaust note.

No...But if you rev the bike and listen - you can hear it go quiet when the valve closes...
As its normally open - its only this one short rev range it effects..
But the CAT is always there..

Don't do that...
It will throw up an error.
It measures the force off the motor (torque) - so you need to fit a spring on the cable....... this is how it knows it opens... as there is no switch.

Just tried it before I read your reply. Removed the cable from the servo and started the bike. It worked ok with no opening or closing of the valve and no fault on the display. Pulled the cable momentarily with pliers and the valve closed and made the exhaust quiet. Seems to work.

Well my advise above still stands... if you continue using / riding ... it will throw an error.... That's why people fit the spring / or an eliminator plug..

I'm with Simon on this, it will most likely throw an error as reported by others with other Ducati models. Also there's little to no use and it will only alter the sound riding about 40 km/h.
Also it's better for the valve to move as it can get stuck when it's in the same place all the time(or so I read). As your bike is still under warrenty I wouldn't mess with it.

Cool! Are you talking about the Akrapovic end cans(just to be sure)?
If that's the case then mine will surely be in at the end of this year/beginning of next year.

When I fit the cans I will try running the bike over Christmas with the exhaust valve disabled, as it’s going for it’s first service on 8th January and if there are any faults logged on the bike they will be found.
Just to be clear when I disabled the valve I left the electrics connected and removed the mechanical cable from the servo and when revving the bike the servo didn’t move at all. But when I reconnected it it moved as normal.

I am not sure if when it flags the error - it goes into limp mode...
Ask your dealer tomorrow when you collect...
But its as simple as leaving the cable connected and fitting a spring over the end (large pen type spring) and a washer with a slot both sides - the tension on the spring will keep the washer in place - but it would not hurt to close up the slot to be sure.. Washer with hacksaw cut on one side... may need to be a penny washer..

If you do decide to leave the cable disconnected and probably just remove the whole servo motor and cable assembly it might be a good idea to wire lock the valve in the open position just to be sure it wont move. Other Ducati owners have done so aswell.
A healtech servo eliminator will prevent error codes and it also might be possible for the dealer to alter a setting in the ecu threw the dds port.
Personally I will considder disabling the valve when it is giving problems but for now and as long as the bike is still under it's factory warrenty I will leave it alone.

I want to disconnect the valve as I don’t like the quiet spot in the rev range.

Too good to be true. Called to dealers today, wrong exhaust they were Termis. in stock at £1700. But I got good information from the service manager.
He agreed that the valve should be disabled and it won’t invalidate the warranty. He confirmed the operation as described by knowledgeable forum members and advised either the Healtech or spring method. One thing I did learn is that when the ignition is turned on the servo opens and closes to test the operation and that is when it detects the fault.
The dealer can’t order Akra’s as Ducati don’t have an account with them so I’ve ordered some from Italy for £814 and ordered the Healtech direct from the company for £42.
Here’s hoping it will all arrive soon being Christmas and all.

I was already afraid of that as I already doubted my dealer, who said he could probably have the Akra's before the end of the year as most vendors are talking about Januari/Februari.
We'll see when they show up, bummer though because I was really curious on how your findings and first impressions would be on the Akra slip-ons.
It's nice that your dealer is in agreement on your plans with the valve. Just lockwire that thing down in the open position and place the Healtech servo eliminator(I think that's a nicer solution then still having the servo around that could still cause potential problems in the future) and never worry about that thing again. I would also remove the servo and the complete cable assembly now that you no longer need it.
Keep us posted and maybe take some pictures along the way and make a little "how to" on the valve elimination.

Did try them a week ago. They said they “may” be able to get them in February. Try then.
