I use the oval R&G one, but only for trackdays- it doesn't fit well with my system and often came loose, so I stopped using it for road use. Shame, I thought it was as good lookign as it could be considering what it is, and they're definately effective- seen them in action a couple fo times! It might look flimsy, but there's a metal plate in them.

I had mine on when the bike slid on the the exhaust protector, it made a nice hole in the plastic bit and dented the metal inner protector against the exhaust causing minor damage, unfortunatly the exhaust hit the curb higher up where there was no protection. Good though i think, if not only to cover up existing damage to a can.
