Sorry pic so big
It's a Viper can, guaranteed to corrode even faster than a standard SV oil cooler grill.

Should have bought a titanium sleeved Akrapovic

If "26mm" is what you call approximate, I'd love to see what you call precise.

Well, I work as a draughtsman in the metal industry, with tolerances down to 0.05mm, so intervals in entire milimeters is quite coarse to me.
Still, you caught me. It was 260mm.
But the piece I cut off, was measured to 260 kinda ind a hurry, so it might be anything between 250 &270 cm. Not that it would matter much to performance or sound.

Now that I come to think of it, perhaps it was only 120mm.
Still, haven't heard better sound for the SV650 yet. ^^
