Can somebody confirm my understanding, or say otherwise, that all parts of the exhaust system are the same on the 749 and 999? On my 999 I put a Decat front pipe on when I fitted the Racefit end can, and left it there when I put the standard can back on. It's still there and doesn't appear to cause any issues. Whilst looking for something else in my container over the weekend I found the std pipe I took off the bike, and also another front pipe that I believed was a std one, but have now realised it's another decat pipe. It's a nice surprise as I'll put it up for sale. It has 749 written on it in marker pen, but I think the 999 pipe is exactly the same. Also, so I can try to identify it properly, what are the sources of the decat pipes? I know they are not all Termi ones, so what did Ducati fit them to as standard?
Ah yes, well spotted. I think it's the same shape as the Std one I took off my Deep sump 999, but will have to double check that. Interested to know what they were fitted to by Ducati, as I'm sure it's not a Termi one.
"749 models all had shallow sump, except for the 749R (all years)." https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threa...9 models all had shallow,the 749R (all years).
Using this thread I believe I've identified it as being for a deep Sump early Grey swingarm bike: https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/ducati-999s-2003-2004-horizontal-de-cat-link-pipe.81902/ It seems mad that an early deep sump version is different to a later Deep Sump version, but the images from @TheJackal and @mrfurry prove it. I've taken some images of it now: it appears to match the one in the other thread that is considered to be 2003 deep sump.
I don't see why not, but I'm not an expert. I do know it definitely wouldn't work the other way round. (Non-deep sump pipe on deep sump engine, not trying to use the pipe back to front)
Thanks jusutus, so you are saying that for a stock 'with Cat' pipe only the Sump matters, and that all 749 and 999 pipes regardless of the Swingarm type are the same for a Deep Sump engine, and I assume the same applies to Flat Sump Engines. It's clear from the TheJackal and mrfurry images that the De-cat pipes for Deep sump engines are different depending on the Swingarm type.
Yes. Horizontal cylinder header part nrs: 2003 749 (shallow sump, grey swingarm): 57010731B 2006 749 (shallow sump, black swingarm): 57010731B 2003 999S (deep sump, grey swingarm): 57010741B 2006 999S (deep sump, black swingarm): 57010741B
