Cans - what difference do they make?

I did ask for alternates so you haven't derailed the thread. What changes would you make to the cams.

I've said it before but it's definitely worth saying again.......

Leave the exhaust alone and spend the £150 (or whatever) on some advanced training.

The best "mod" you'll ever make and it may just save your life one day.

One of the items was a replacement can specifically the Scorpian can. Do they make a difference and if so how much and are they really worth the £100 to £600 they cost. Are there better alternatives that are more cost effective, e.g. sorting out the front forks first. Any comments would be appreciated.

I have the high level scorpion on my bike, came with it so not to sure how much it is but i love how it sounds, makes me smile everytime i start it up.

Scorpions website ahs a noise zone to hear the cans, not as good as in the flesh but gives you a good idea.

On a curvy you put the Exhaust on the inlet and the inlets of a pointy on the exhaust... Not sure what you do on pointys.

I've never heard of that, what sort of power gain do you get? Can it make the bike unreliable?

I never got round to doing it on my SV. Talk to northy he's done it, i THINK its soma like 10 BHP across the Rev Range.

**** that's a tasty increase. I'll talk to him about it (in about 2 years when my restriction's up!)
