Looking through the Ducati website engine specs appear to be the same.
Has anyone tinkered there 999 yet with exhaust/chip/filter to achieve a significant power gain? Just curious.

The 999S has the deep sump testastretta engine as fitted to the 996R and 998S , the internals of this engine are quite different to the standard engine , titanium conrods etc , this allows the engine to rev slightly higher with the resulting power gain

I have a 54mm full system on order for my S , the kit comes c/w high performance air filters and a new ECU , this is suppposed to increase power by 8%........which is nice , if the stuff ever arrives (help Georgina ) I will let you know if it feels faster.
