Default To twin can, or not to twin can??

I love the look of the twin can conversion renegade do but are they the only company that do the conversion?

is there anyway of making it a bit cheaper to do?

thanks

I'm probably not the best person to respond o this as I'm not sure who else does twin cans for the SV. Possibly Arrow, GPR also rings a bell (or some other three letter name!! ). So Renegade are not the only people to make a twin can set-up! The other option is to have a system made to your spec & design by the people at Zorstec!
However the Renegades are generally accepted as the best and I probably wouldn't refute this on the evidence I have seen over the years!

As for performance gains, if there are any they will be slight and are probably negated because of the extra weight of the extra can & pipework!
(I know that both cans wll still probably weigh less than the standrd piece of pig-iron but two are still going to be heavier than one!!)

They do look cool and sound incredible though!!

Plus there's double the chance of denting one in the event of a drop.

Depends also if you use the rene mod of welding a piece of pipe 2-1-2 or do a conversion 2-2 in which case rear cylinder wont have back pressure.
