I bought a pipewerx can for my old YZF750 and it didn't fit. When I called them he tried to convince me that Yamaha had made 2 different exhausts for my bike and that I would need 'the other' link pipe (which is crap as they always used the same exhaust for all the YZF750's). He did say he'd send the new link pipe for free and that I could keep the old one, and that he'd even throw in a free t-shirt. He took my size, sent me the link pipe and t-shirt, luckily the link pipe fitted as he sent a small t shirt when I asked for extra large :smt005

I never had an issue with the build quality of the pipewerx can though. They look good, the laser cut logo in the end is a nice touch and the DB killers are nice and easy to fit.

Can't comment on the others but apparently you get a free slice of Kendal mint cake when you buy fuel ones, that nearly sold me had I not bought kaisermuldoons carbon can company ones (which sound like the gates of hell opening with the DB killers out :smt003 )

if you'd been earlier you couldve got a set of hilevel Renegade titanium sleeved cans for that money. Secondhand yes, but theyre head and shoulders above some other brands with the bonus that theyre easy to repack.

Fuel and Blue flame always get good recommendations on here too

I'm running GPR hi level cans, and can't fault them, although the neighbours do sometimes :smt018

I have a set of Scorpion cans with removable baffles which I will sell. They are stamped and pass MOTs, but I suspect they are really modified race cans as they are loud for a road leagal can :smt003 They are a standard looking can with a sort of gold finish. They are probably worth about £100 I guess?

... and stay away from Quill. Poor fitment and excuses about pipe benders not working properly...

I have set of Aprilia factory fitted stainless steel falco cans in my garage. Good solid construction, yours for a mere £6000, they come with build in supports unlike all these cheap aftermarket crap. No jetting required, will bolt straight on

Grab yourself a bargain, they'll go fast :smt005
