Default scorpion cans etc

hey I was wondering if anyone has a can on their sv that makes it sound awesome... reason im asking is a mate of mine got me to test ride a triumph daytona 650 yesterday (still grinning inside) and it had a micron can on it. Now I dont think it was very much faster than my SV but it sounded flippin amazing...

so obv i wanna make my sv sound like that

any advice?

You lack cylinders...


And the Daytona 650 is much faster than an SV...


Sorry to **** on your chips...

as Mark said you'll not get even close sound wise, IL4 and V twin are so different, and performance , it's probably nothing to do with what either is capable of, more the rider and the experience they have on each type (or lack there of).

Cheers Mark.

That's cool guys I think it was a case of wishful thinking... Saves me getting a can for the wrong reason!

Oh you should go for an after market can on the SV, just about anything sounds great, but nothing like an IL4, saves weight as well.

Get one for the right reason - I liked the Beowulf - sounds much better than an IL4 to me...

After market can, turns your SV from sounding like this



to this


HTH

Any will do, they all make loud noises. Depends on your budget, everyone will swear theirs is the best. I have one with a Scorpion high level stubby, one with a standard height stubbied Art can, and a VRaptor that'll melt your face with a pair of twin Leo Vince pipes
