Default I have £300 to spend on a can.

...so which should i pick.

I originally thought a carbon scorpion can. but looking on ebay and other places i can get a bloody good Remus or Akrapovic for not much more...
What would you say...oh and by the way, for style reasons, and the fact im a fussy buggar...it has to be black or carbon

Uhhm, I'd say a Remus Hexacone, looks awesome IMO.

£327 in Carbon, £325 in Stainless (assuming you have a pointy)

If it's a Curvy you have sir you're look at over £370, and if that's the case I'd go for a Blueflame Hi-mount. It's about £260.

On that topic, I stumbled across the Hexacone because of this auction.

Good luck.. Although if you bought this you would still need a linkpipe for a Pointy.. but that wouldn't be much?

F##k that why would you spend £300 on a can?

You can get a GSXR shock with full gold valve goodies for that kinda brass...

£300 is a bit steep. I love the sound of the street extreme, and im sure you can get a used one for up to £100.

get a decent cheap one from ebay, none add any power and they all do the same thing.

I wouldn't have another fuel can, nothing to do with the quality they just weren't helpful with my enquiries about repacking... except to offer their services for a fee...

Compared to the bloke at beowulf who almost fell over his own head with helpfulness.
