What cans do we all run?

Haven't been on the board for a long while! Sorry if there already exist many other threads about this... feel free to point this out to me with appropriate doses of light hearted sarcasm

Anyway, SV650s, '56 model. All totally standard. Considering replacing can this summer want some ideas/thoughts. I looked at Fuel last year, and a nice chap from here offered me a Scorpion, but we didn't get it together (I dithered a bit, as you can tell as I still have the standard exhaust)

Not got a huge budget, can't afford full systems etc., or something that will require a PC3 (had one, never fitted it, sold it again!)

Of course, I may yet decide to sell at the end of the year (might move away) - in which case probably best to keep standard!!!

Contributions and suggestions from experienced SV brains most welcome

I have a Carbon Can Co. Exhaust, baffle came out before i fitted it even . Great sound, and for £100 new i am well happy with it.

good deal. easy fit? nice sound? any other benefits?

If your just fitting an end can then dont bother with a power commander IMHO they're a waste of time. The only really come into play if you are going down the full system with air filter route.

Bought mine purely for sound, cut the pipe in no time with a Dremmel and slipped on nicely. Baffle easy to remove and refit with a self tapper, keep under your seat if your heading up to North Wales Injun territory when the Taliban are on a purge

I have a CCC too, I really like it.

I'd be scared of screwing up with the cutting!! but once cut, it just sits on? doesn't need to be bound in any way?

Scorpion Street Extreme Titanium Edition , bellows like a camel taking a cow from behind by surprise

Cutting the pipe is easy , you then effectively lose the ability to use the original can ..... BUT , you can buy a link pipe to put it back on if you wish , new can just slips over the old pipe and is secured in place with an exhaust ring clamp and you can also add a bit of Holts Firegum or similar to the join if you so wish .

Another option is the Beowulf cans, lovely gruff note with a deep rumble, had the street extreme before and although it was much louder it was harsher and more of a fart than an engine note

Matches the napoleon blue very well too:

pricy though badge!
