Default An exhaust with no clamps?

I'm looking for an end can for my K8, and I'm looking for advice on a porticular point as there is one thing I want to avoid at all costs.

I've seen plenty of nice looking and sounding cans, but they often have a big clamp on the link pipe, right up against the end can. Maybe I'm just too fussy, but I really don't like how that looks.

Can anyone tell me which systems don't work like that and, in effect, look as though they were designed as one system rather than 2 or 3 random bits of tubing joined together by overgrown jubilee clips ?

I'm happy enough to chop the standard one like everyone else does, I just want what replaces it to look neat and tidy. All suggestions appreciated ......

some cans e.g. remus revolution have a spring attatchment for the end can which looks neater. you need an exhaust clamp on the join between link pipe and mid pipes but its not too noticeable there.

Thanks - that's what I'm looking for. Wondering what other cans have a similar set-up so I can do a comparison between them ...

I've an aluminium Devil can, the link pipe disappears into the end can without any visible connection.

We had a stubby exhaust with Akra type springs fittings, cos we had an Akrapovic system on our curvy.

Dunno how difficult it would be to get two lugs welded to the Suzuki system to accommodate the springs thus doing away with an adaptor link pipe.

Remus Grand Prix Revolution has a "built in" clamp, link to the mid pipe. Very neat.

2 springs, link to can. Neater.

No strap, can to subframe, uses a bracket. Neatest.
