Is this also the case on the SV or will it run different as it has 2 less pots?
did a search thingy and found this from Raf...

2) Yes you have to cut the downpipe to do it. Make sure that the can is for your model of bike (curvy or pointy).
3) Be aware that you can is road legal or not. There are implications if it is not road legal. There is plenty of talk about it on the forum, use the search function.
4) You MUST tell your insurance company, not telling them might (or probably will) make you insurance null and void. However since it's an SV you can tell them that the can is NOT a performance enhancing can, most insurance companies don't charge extra for that. But they will ask if the can is road legal or not and can get quite arsey about it.
5) USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. This topic is well covered on the forum.

That is all....

I'm not convinced the standard exhaust is not restrictive, mine picked up a bit of a flat spot when fitting a normal can. Where did the extra gas go?

IMO it's just not that massive a change, so usually no rejetting is needed
