I'll not be using hte standard bracket or even front endcap so I think i can get past the disintegrating can issues... And they do sound lovely.

I'll chop down the WRP can and see how it sounds first, I think, then maybe do some more thorough looking...

got a 2 port oval with a high level link pipe for my k2 last year.within 6 months the casing cracked around the inlet to the can.i think this was caused because the bracket and hanger were to low down the can and the can was flexing too much.sent it back and they repaired it,saying they had had problems and changed the design.rather than chance it breaking again i got a mate to make up a longer bracket so it now holds the can nearly half way up.well pleased with it now. put a jubilee round the pipe to keep your cut straight if using a hack saw blade,fitting is easy.

Depends, do you want to be deaf by the end of the year? At 5000 revs I clocked mine with no can at 125db at one metre

That's not quite the point of physical pain It's great having family in professional sound and lighting...

I've got my RPM wrong there though, apparently it was 7000.
