RRP, Squirrel. Not "As cheap as you can find at a show"

Leigh Bradbury got his Akrapovic full system with a Titanium Oval can for his K4 (well - it was a K3 system as they didn't do one for a K4 at the time, so he had to make a bracket for it!!) for just over the £500 mark, iirc. He bought it from a dealer and I do not believe he got any form of major discount!
Scorpion cans are about the same kind of money as Blue Flame but do better deals at shows, in my experience! At the NEC last year, Blue Flame were completely blanking me and wouldn't help me at all but scorpion were very willing to help. I also got my £320 Titanium Oval can with removable baffle for £160!!!! And personally, I'm not keen on the way BF cans look any way!! |

How to get it past the wife. Someone on here has a signature to the effect it's easier to get forgiveness than permission, so go buy and breeze it out. Oh and come home with a gift for her too with the £££ you've saved.

Sorry Flyin' Squirrel, I owe you an apology- they used to be around that much but they're far less now- just found a coupe of places doing the systems for £510 inc VAT, and M&P has them for £600- looks like they're doing some serious discounting.
It looks like they might actually not be doing the slip-ons for the SV any more, or maybe places just aren't bothering to stock them as it makes no sense to try and sell a £400 slip-on (I was right on that at least, an equivalent slip on- Bandit 600, say- is £400 for road legal ![]()

Akrapovic never did just an end can for the SV. Full system only.
Personally I don't like Blueflame cans. Prefare the rivetless cans myself ie Renegade , Micron , ... Cheers Ben |

Seems to me that inside the tri oval can, each outlet port has a seperate tube or pathway inside it for the exhaust gases to flow through, its got two of the perforated normal exhaust channels in it, I would take a picture but I dont know how well it would show it, sorry to be vague, but hope this helps
