I haven`t trawled the thread so I don`t know if I`m the first to do this, but what do you think of it...?

I believe you are the first with this combo, Rick.

Personally not my preferred style. Isn't this "very" loud?

:lol: Im not keen on shiny trinklets, I prefer the attacked with scotch bright pad look

@rick, again not my cup of tea those cans but it doesnt look as out of place on a nc than they do on some bikes. I knew someone with one on a rsv and it sounded like hellfire, fast track route to deafness.

It`s 100% no so far then...

Good job it`s not a statistically significant sample size!

I was out riding yesterday and the review is that performance is fine, it has a real `race bike` tone and is surprisingly quiet, all things considered - definitely less noisy than the Tyga twin stack that I had on before and nowhere near as antisocial as a Tyga Maggot. I think the trick is that although it doesn`t have anything like the volume of sound absorbing material of a conventional can, there is room in there for a good long baffle tube. Ref. the RSV comment, yes - I heard one on a GSXR1000 last week and it was ear splitting!

Build quality is not that great - the external finish is good but the internal structure is pretty much tacked together and doesn`t look very robust. It is a straight on, no mods required fit for a Tyga full system, the retaining spring loops are in the correct place and to my eye the angle and position of the muffler are dead right.

Personally I like the style of it - my rationale is that my `60s pastiche paint job really needs a megaphone style exhaust to set it off (4 of them would be even better!) and I think that on that level it works. It actually looked better before I added the strap and hanger so I plan to get a mounting bracket welded on the inside of the muffler which will leave the entire length of the body visually `clean` and uninterrupted.

It does suit your era of colour scheme and I dare say id like it more if it didnt look for want of a better word a little bit cheap, the one I saw wasn't well made at all. Now if a decent fabricator had a go at one (racefit for example) im sure it would drip desire.

How about one either side SP1 style? In titainium ;)

Looks great Rick,
I bet rcv4 could make that in TI. ;)
