I searched for dB Killers for my Termignoni mufflers and found none. Your searches might be more productive. I think any "tuning" difference will be very small either way and therefore not much concern in terms of air/fuel ratios. I suggest that you install the pipes first and go from there with dB Killer mods to your personal preference as the sound levels dictate.

my mods to the db killers was more simple.
rather than cut off all of the inner tube, all i did was take the original db killer and the closed end, i drilled a 5/8 inch diameter hole right there so that there was a straight path for exhaust to go through.
some have asked how this sounds. try this. put the db killers in before you mod them and listen to the exhuast. you will notice it it almost stock quiet but still has the distinct "termi" low rumble but very quiet. when i did my mods i first started with a 1/4 drill bit and drilled the hole and listened to them again. this made almost no difference. As you use larger drill bits to expand the hole the sound got louder but only in small amounts, when you go up to 1/2 inch diameter to 5/8 diameter you are no longer as quiet as stock at all, but you are not blatantly loud at idle either. you can definitely tell its louder than stock no doubt but when idling its nowhere near obnoxious at all, its only when you start to rev up to 3k rpm and higher does it now really get louder than stock by a good amount but again nowhere near as it would be without db in them at all.
others do more drastic mods to the db killers, my mods to mine were much less drastic and make a very subtle change to them that i think most people would be happy with the sound that i get from mine, they still have the termi sound but it will no longer annoy neighbors. also if a harley with straight pipes pulls up next to me, you won't even hear my bike anymore at all.

Strafer: thanks for your DB Killer mod's advice. After installing my slip-on kit this weekend I found with DB Killers in the bike was very quite, In fact I think the stockies were louder!! Anyways I completed your 'Stage 1' mod first however I didn't notice much of a difference, I then cut them down again past the holes but still not much of a difference. I then completed 'Stage 2' with the DB Killer 'ring only' and your right its nice but without the massive 'basey drone' that your neighbours/policeman hate. BTW: I may be a little biased to some with the noise as I had a Ducati Monster M900I.E '02 before with baffles completely removed from stockies but I believe this is quieter than that with the 'Stage 2' mod in place.

BTW all; I decided to search around for a pair of 'spare' DB Killers just in-case. I was lucky enough that my cousin came through with a pair for me. However on my search I found that http://www.ducatiperformance.com/ can order these in for you. They don't have them listed on their site but I said to sales to list them up in which they agreed as I explained there is others looking. He explained they are $92.80 (US) for the set and would need to be ordered from Ducati Italy (2week turn around). Anyways if you really need them then this is an option for you.

That's good (and expensive) info.

Thanks! I may have to get these. Any idea how much they reduce the "open" db? I want to take the edge off when in the neighborhood but open it up in the mountains!

I also decided that my Ti Sil Motos needed some db killers, didn't want my M800 to be my neighbor's 0530 wake up call. Couldn't find any, so I had to make them myself... But you'll need one of these too: Jeff
