If your after something a bit different and black, have you seen these? A bit more than your budget but you get all the mid pipework too so no cutting your stock system. They sound beautiful too.

Get a 500ml can of Stella. Cost you a lot less than £300.

+1. Really helpful, good value, sounds great (even better with the baffle out) and leaves plenty of change for a good weekend away.

YC. I think you just got unlucky.

No, they were very good when I bought a can. Couldn't fault them on it when there was £120 changing hands.

But when it needed repacking (give them their due, the original packing lasted ages)

"I need a can packing"
"OK send it here, £35"
"Can't have the bike off the road, would you sell me the packing" (of course the can was decorating the end of a full race system by this point... so couldn't refit standard can)
"Nope"
"ok where can I get some"
"oh can't tell you that"

So, beowulf

"need some can packing"
"tenner ... postage or you popping round"
"ill pop round"
"sugar in your tea?"
