I got the DP Cans & Airbox together last year...

they offered it as an optional kit without the ECU. I went with a PCIII, so I didn't need the ECU, and it was a good bit cheaper that way. Don't know if they discontinued it for this year or not! My bike is an '05 ST4s, so I hope that helps some.

Thanks. Does anyone know if the "older" spec DP pipes are any different?

No Problem

Sig, I have DP carbon slip-ons that I bought in late '99 or early 2000. They were on my '99 ST4 for about 15,000 miles & now they are on my '04 ST4s with another 9k on them. The dealer I bought the '04 from tried to tell me they wouldn't work, but they just want to sell you the new stuff. To be sure, I called Bruce @ BCM (highly respected Ducati tuner) and he told me put them on, no problem. He said next time I had the bike serviced that the stock ECU could be adjusted. So I rode the bike for about 5k miles before I had it in for the 6k service & I had no issues whatsoever with the way the bike ran before the service. The newer DP cans have the bracket built into the can & the older ones had a muffler body clamp around them for mounting (mine). I had to get some new clamps & I found that Kerker makes a clamp that fits & I like the look of it better than the ones that came with mufflers.Here's a picture of my old DP slip-ons with over 20k miles on them.
Be safe, Gregg
