"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Bahaha. I know what you mean. I have a few 999 pieces because one day, yknow... maybe.... I will own one.

Similarly I have more than one adjustable rear suspension pivot from te 888SPO/Corsa models in the hopes I will either (a) acquire the proper hoop or (b) have a proper hoop made (in billet if I have too!)

I like the race tech a LOT. The stuff that yet really used or replicas of the same technology - better that than backyard attempts to reinvent the wheel I suppose.

Are you familiar with SuperTrapp?  It's a 2:1:2 kit.  High mounts.  Their system uses stackable aluminum plates in the can to increase/reduce restriction and noise reduction.  Use all the plates for maximum noise reduction, take them all out for none.  I think there are 10-15 plates, so it's effectively "tuneable" for the amount of restriction desired.

plates (not mine but they used the same setup on a lot of different exhausts -- the Cagiva Elefant Lafranconi exhaust had it too)

they made exhausts for a lot of bikes, but no Ducati anymore.  They are solid aluminum so not the lightest going.

The Supertrap cans and systems I've seen were from light gauge stainless, back in the day, and combined with the" wave disc" tuning gave a distinctive metalic exhaust note.

I think adding tuning plates opened the pipe more except for the straight thru end cap available (which I ran on the FXR). The end cap was normally closed and the discs let the exhaust out from between them.
They were popular fitment to the XR 1000 Sportster, with two cans fitted over and under on one side evo style or Norton or Triumph California scrambler style.

They made full systems out of stainless, but I don't know nowdays.

I always thought it was opposite. More plates= more exhaust pass through
