This paper will show the design of an innovative exhaust system for a new Ducati bike, the 999. The bike was designed completely on CAD 3D and the time to market was very stringent. An important request of this bike was the close assembly of all the components, to ensure a very compact bike. This generates the necessity to virtually define the complete exhaust system, either the layout of the runner, or the volume of the muffler, in the first phase of designing the bike, to allow the simultaneous design of the components near the exhaust system. The 1-D simulation allows to design an innovative solution of exhaust system for high performance bike, where the innovation are: the asymmetry of the layout, the imposed reflection and the use of the silencer as compensator. The use of predictive analysis with ID CFD code in the early stages of complex design is of benefit in reducing the lead-time for the product development. Predictive analysis may identify early faults that would be extremely difficult to change later in the design cycle.
