Unless you are completely decided on a Scorpion, then have a look at some of the other makes Like Akrapovic, Yoshimura, Arrow etc. IMHO the Scorpions are quite expensive for what they are. One i was looking at getting was about ?350 which is getting into expensive territory. For that money you can have one of the more expensive cans.

Was looking at this...just stainless steel, kind of like the high level option, but id wanna see one on a pointy to decide first...

I have a Scorpion on my K5S and tbh I'm not all that impressed by it for what they cost. I'd rather have a quality can such as those ASM-thingy mentioned..

Got this from the web...

Looks to be out of the way of a pillions legs compared to some others out there, but not great.

It sounds a little over priced for what is a basic exhaust, to be honest they are all the same on the inside if you are after a budget can (although some companies don't share the budget price!).

Take note of the indicator in the pic!

when I got this bike it came like this, its a Scorpion can that was chopped down, I'm sure he mentioned they had the link pipe made too,
IMHO it sounds like a baked bean fart!!!! I'm not overly keen on it, but as it gets older and the packing disintegrates it seems to be getting a little better. I got spacers to go with the footpeg hangers but I don't carry pillions so never needed them. Standard peg fittings don't go near

I just think you either get something 'budget' like CCC or Fuel for a little over a ton, or you spend a few hundred and get something quality. From what i've seen the budget cans are as good as the mid range ones, for half the cost!

Like i said in your other thread, IMHO either buy a new Fuel/CCC. They are great cans for the price and by all accounts their service is fantastic.

Or have a look on ebay/for sale section on here and pick up something tasty second hand.

Thanks everyone, got a pretty good idea of cost/quality situation now...
cant justify spending alot on just a stainless steel can
think i'll keep an eye out for decent second hand cans, unless i make an impulse decision to buy a new one, and it will probably be a fuel/ccc

Know if the budget fuel can is alright? Seen you have to drill out a SS rivet to remove the baffle...
