Is an original siamese pipe better than individual pipes ?
My bike is mildly tuned ( Open airbox, stage 2 dynajet, HC pistons ) so some kind of performance can is in order. There is a Ducati Performance titanium system on ebay at the moment. Would that be any good ?. Thanks

Most things are possible, but you need to decide what look you are going for:
1. Single pipe, two pipes on one side, or two pipes (One on each side)?
2. Standard height, high level, midi like a 888, or underslung?
3. Stainless Steel, Ally, Carbon or Titanium?
Standard height is easiest, but can looks a bit standard when you want to make a change.
Underslung like the Quat-D or RoadRacing cans look clean, but are very expensive new, and very rare second hand. They can also drag on corners.

High level can look good too, provided you avoid the "wheel barrow" look of combining long high cans with a cut down frame and mudguard. You also need to check you've got clearance for the riser pipes by spacing the footpeg ally brackets off the frame, and they miss the rear indicators which are in different places for pre and post 2000 bikes (Or be prepared to move those too!).
Mid height like the 900 Superlight and 888 would require bespoke link pipes and brackets.
It's an opportunity to make your M900 into
your Monster.
