Default New can, not too sure.

Ok I've been back on the standard can on my speed four and tbh its good. The fueling is spot on around town and its not too bad sounding.



So I quite would like a little more noise but not too much. I've looked at a lot of cans. Daytona tor was the best sounding but a little too long. Speed four tor is mentally loud!!! Now I've found a mhp can. It's really nice and sounds fantastic ( race can) but I'm not too sure about the titanium. What do you think?

titanium looks fine

if it were me, I'd prefer the can to be a tad shorter,

Tad shorter for me too, might look straighter along the line of the bike too.

Yea all cans look long its the angle of the pipe I think. Tbh shortening it would make it too loud and I don't mind the length. Not sure about the colour mainly. Quality stuff tho. Much better than other exhaust I've looked it

Think carbon would look better (or black powder coat) as you've got clean green/black going on with the rest of the bike.

I changed to arrows on the trip because the shiney standards just didn't look right (IMO) with the matte grey. I still need to sort out the supper shiney rearsets at some point as well.

Looks ok but I think the badge/sticker is a bit 'smart price'!

Cut it down to just before the sticker Andy... it will make it a fair bit louder mind you.

Not a fan of short cans tbh and this really doesn't want to be any louder. Bit concerned that I don't know how to polish satin titanium if I remove it. Had carbon can on before and tbh it suited it better but I like the fact I've git a hand made exhaust. Hmmm

I like it other than the blue logo. Clashes with the colour a bit.

You know, this may be it, does the sticker come off or photochop it out on your photo with a mask from elsewhere on the can. See if it looks better.

I just wash mine as normal and then give a wipe over with parafin/WD etc. I've used parafin/turps to get grime off in the past so as not to dirty my sponge too much.

You could always have it sleeved in carbon no?
