Then i went on ebay and spent a further £750 on a Arrow 3-1 full system.

I got the arrow on mine and it sounds great. Sadly here in Germany the noise police are often out in force, so one day I may have to go fully legal. Then i will need to fit the standard pipes and maybe try to get the twin Arrows.

I couldn't resist and just bought a full carbon Yoshimura for my fireblade.

They are expensive but just so damn sexy compared to most others manufacturers.

I dream of Yoshi ST-1 cams. for my 14.

Unfortunately they are worth as much as my whole SV.

It's only really UK prices that are stupid. A lot of cans are just imported for a fraction of the cost.

I tried to get a few UK companies down on price and they started barking on about devaluing the product.

I ended up getting it from JHS Racing with a reasonable discount as they were fairly competitive and could get it to me for tomorrow.

Some people will pay the price just to get their hands on a new product. I had been scanning ebay and forum for any brand cans showing up for sale and there was nothing... that's the main reason I bought new.

I'm suprised you need a PCV and DP Race ECU, I would have thought you could have just had the map set up on the PCV overiding the standard ECU?

The Zard cans are very sweet.

Yeah the race ECU sorts the fuelling for the most part (still runs a bit too lean apparently), the PCV is mainly for fine tuning/custom maps when it gets on the dyno
