[iang]

I have the chance of a 999R termi for about £350 but did not know if it would fit the standard pipes on my 749R.

I know the link pipes would not fit but could i use the standard pipes with the cat in until i got the correct link pipe, or would it run fine with the cat left in ?

Also would the bike run ok with the standard ecu and filters or is it not worth the hassle.

Any views appreciated

When i first fitted the decatted stuff on my 999r i ran it without changing the cpu first. I was convinced it went smoother.

Then i fitted the cpu. We both know the best way is to get it set up on the proper machine (maffis?) which i did.

Any way you want to check you have the latest cpu, tell them its missing or stalling, to get it changed/checked.

Oh im sure the mounts etc are the same 999 / 749.

If the 999R termi system is from an 03 bike with the cast swingarm it will NOT fit your 749R , the fabricated swingarm is much deeper so the long pipe from the horizontal cylinder is a different shape.

If however the system is from an 04 bike it should fit fine.

The bike will run fine using the standard ECU , you may not get the absolute power gains from the pipe that you would using a specific ECU for an assymetric termi but the 999R ECU will not work on your bike once it has been fitted to a previous bike , a replacement ECU from Ducati is £450

or you can fit a PCIIIusb (haven't we done this one before)

The guy has decided to sell the full set up from the 999R.

It is an 03 model with link pipe, filters and ecu but he wants between £700 - £750 which i do not want to pay as i can get the correct one for not much more.

As I said , it will not fit anyway , an '03 bike will have the cast swingarm , I have already tried a front pipe from a system designed for the standard swing arm and it fouls on the bottom of the fabricated swing arm , also the mounting point by the footrest does not match
