double and triple check that you have the correct link pipe fitment.

the can is ok. i have one, had it through winter and its not started to rust like i expected tho.

comes with baffles that are easy to put in and take out in no time at all.

fitting - dead easy.


just gotta warn you tho . . .customer services aint good.

Cheers Guys.
Some of you have mentioned that they are not cheap ? I have seen the titanium coloured (single) advertised for £260, so with a voucher should only be about £210.
I thought this was cheap compared to some of the can prices that I have seen, like Akraprovic etc, which are in 400 + range.
One other thing, I assume that the link pipe is extra ?, or are they extra nice and include it in thecost of the can ? ( )

Ok. I have had a long day. Noticed that DR Rich has already said that link pipe and fasteners are provided.
Still think it's a reasonable price compared to others, and if the sound is good (as most of you seem to say), then I might definitely be persuaded to part with some of my hard earned wonga on saturday

Akraprovic are expensive because they are full system - i.e. you replace everything from the cylinder to the end can.

The blue flame requires you to cut the existing pipe. It will come with a link pipe.

Wrong Squirrel, that £400's for Akrapovic slipon... RRP anyway. They're very expensive slipons... The full system would run you £700 or more IIRC.

£210's not a bad price for an endcan, but considering you can get Vipers for £50, it#s not cheap either

Well they were doing full systems at the bike show for less than £600, so unless the full bore pipework costs less than £200...
