Noise regs
When the ACU changed the limits in the mid 90s cans went from 14" in length to 16" in length to get the extra silencing needed.
The early 748s and 916s have shorter cans than later bikes such as the 996 as later bikes probably had to change due to new noise emmission regulations. Ducati even had to move the reflector on the underside of the rear light to allow for the longer silencers
