Default Sell or keep?

I managed to claim a brand new Scorpion Oval Titanium race exhaust today, and I pretty much don't feel like putting it on my SV, it feels like a waste. Do y'all think I should deffo pop it on, or how much should I be expecting to make from it?

Why the hell acquire a new can if you ain't going to use it? Get the damn thing on and have done with it!

Fit it to your SV, if you dont like it or the sound, then sell it afterwards, but if you got it for free whats to loose / waste.

Unless you have a can that is so cool, you got a spare in the loft...for just in case, as they don't make em anymore

I know how you feel. I got a brand new Blueflame Evo can from BF as a warrant replacement against the 2nd hand one I bought on ebay. It was too nice to put on my bike & I never did. I still have it boxed up in the loft after about 2 years of not doing anything with it

I didn't get it free, I got it for £85, which the shop owner was not too chuffed about (uneducated assistant gave me on-the-spot price)
BUT
I am yet to have a fall, and the can is so beautiful, but my bike is old, dirty, scratched, slow... so I risk 1) Falling on it soon and it being worthless 2) Making the inside all un-new and realising I dont like it, and it being worth less, and 3) It would feel like putting a crown on a rat.. Or, I could sell it and make a couple of hundred, and buy a 2nd hand Carbon one

1) don't fall off
2) why will you not like it....they are always better than a standard can.
3) You'd have to ask YC about crowning Rats

Bleddy fit the damn thing...gah
