Default Can for a Gladius?

Quick one for some feedback. Looking at a replacement can for my SFV yep gladiarse, cos I hate what they put on as standard.

Don't have loads to spend but luckily some nice UK (I live in Spain these days) options are starting to appear so I'm wondering what people think.

These are the options at the mo:

1. Blue flame have a GP style round/oval available now. £150
2. MTC say they should have something in a couple of weeks, no idea what or how much
3. Beowulf said they'd have a bike early this year to work on so I'm thinking they should have something in the not too distant..

What yas think? I hear good things about Beowulf but not sure what the other two are like so any experience good or bad would be nice to hear.

Cheers

Not heard good things about the quality of Blue flame.
Beowulf are very good, especially customer service. They are based in the same town as me, so I may be a little biased. Don't have one of their cans myself, but a friend of mine had a Beowulf on his pointy SV..I rather liked its quality and sound.

Hmm interesting to know about blueflame, was edging towards ordering one. What have you heard?

Boewulf seem to have a pretty good rep which is making me inclined to wait and see what they come up with.

If beowulf don't have anything on the market yet I'm sure they'd be interested to see one of these glaydarsed things.

When I emailed them a while back they said they'd have a bike to work on early this year so I'm hoping they'll have something soon...

im not too sure if delkevic make a pipe for the SFV but they have very good customer service and im sure if you were to ask they could sort you out. They make a lovely noise especially the stubby can www.delkevic.co.uk.

here is my SV with the stubby. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOPnCWP6fww
