.....I have been looking at different exhausts (Staintune seems to be my favorite) as an option for my ST4S but since my bike is still under warranty I figured the best first step would be to get the fuel system re-mapped under warranty before making any changes.

good luck in selling that one to the dealership but it sounds good to me.
in my research the main choices i've found for the st4s are:
1) stock ecu - My understanding is the 5.9 ecu is not re mappable it has an adjustment (via computer) that adjust the whole map by a percentage. This percentage can be dialed in pretty sweet with a pipe only mod but when you start messin with air filters also its too much for the stock ECU to compensate. COST = price of pipes and a computer tune up
2) Ducati performance ECU -makes a replacement ECU (in a kit with pipes and air box, filter) that has the adjustments pre mapped (dont know about getting the ecu seperate)-COST= around $1700.00 + install
3) FIM ECU - FIM makes a replacement ecu that disables the security immobilizer and has tons of adjustment and is feature packed with track day settings and adjustability, etc. but I did hear they are having some problems with the unit. COST = about $700.00 + comp. tune up
4) FBF kit- sounds similar to the Ducati kit but with a power comander instead of a replacement ECU COST=?????(don't know, just found it from Dave B.)
the simplest way to mod a ST4S is to buy the pipes you want and have the stock ECU tweaked.
Sorry for the ramlings but there you have it!
