Default Exhaust Clamp Cover / Bolts Under Footpegs

OK, here's a pic of my bike:


It looks to me like a previous owner had a race can, but put the stock one back on before selling, and had to use an exhaust clamp to cover the gap.

It also looks a bit crap! Any suggestions to cover it up? What do other people do to conceal the join? I was thinking of getting something like this:


or this from Ebay

but aren't dead keen on carbon fibre.

Oh, and the other thing. The bolts under the footpegs that stop you grinding the pegs on corners... where can you get them from? M8 x 10mm I think, but that's a wierd head on it.

Cheers guys!

IMO that will look even worse.

Just spin the clamp 180 degrees with the bolt head facing out.

Cheers

It looks like there are two joins in the pipe? (link pipe?) Should there be a clamp at the top?

Not sure to be honest, haven't taken it off yet! What does the join on other people's bikes look like?

Even the original weld looks sh1te so dont worry, another way would be to get a stainless band clamp with one bolt and turn it so the nut is not showing
