Micron can problems.
 
I've managed to split my Micron Titanium Race can for a second time due, again, to the packing burning out sooner than anticipated. Micron recommended I re-pack it at 2000-3000 miles. (And also advised me not to replace the can with a carbon one, due to the back-pressure on SV650 engines.)

Last time I did this I got a free replacement. Another would be nice, but I'm getting pretty sick of broken titanium sleeves!

Do any other Micron users have these problems?
Has anyone put a different can on Micron header pipes?
Should I just be far more careful at recording my mileage and regularly changing the packing?

And surely, if the can splits down the join seam that means it isn't joined properly. I did a little welding at college and a good weld is as strong as the original material.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what makes buying exhausts confusing.

I've been phoning around and dealers have been recommending akrapovic or Remus.

Basically they are saying you shouldn't skim with a twin as cheap cans will just be destroyed.
