Did it today, it sounded f###ing terrible. Dunno whether that was due to it not being sealed properly, but it was nasty. I was looking for a sound like the standard system without can on it, but it wasn't like that at all. Oh well!

Have just repacked the can as normal, so you'll all only be half-deaf

Nah it's just not quite as earsplitting as the totally open one, like it was a couple of months back. It's still seriously fkin loud

Oh yeah empty cans sound horrible and the power felt very odd.

believe it or not the one that you heard is a scorpion too...just slightly shorter than it once was
Now if you heard my other, you'd distinctly notice that my scorpion is actually quiet in comparison

Yeap, you need to pack the exhaust still but run with a solid inner tube rather than perforated (sounds tinny, echoey, and rattly with no packing). You will need to seal it up properly too Chris, throughout the whole can.

I think my inner tube is slightly thicker than what is normally in there, if that makes a difference???

Ahh ok. funnily enough the open micron system linkpipe sounds pretty naff too, nowhere near as nice as the standard system.
