I took off the cans few days ago to see what the fuss was all about and I must say, Holy shit! 10lb of restriction each, I wonder how they get these things to meet the CA emission specs. Any way, I ordered few item to make my own cans from a guy in the UK, not very cheap but really good quality, I purchased enough material for 2 cans, just in case it is too loud, what was I thinking! After that I chopped off the exhaust at the flapper valve and built a temp. bracket to hold the can where I wanted. I took the whole bike to a performance exhaust shop, and explained what I wanted, we worked for 3 1/2 hours, trying angles and radius, finally I got it the way I wanted it. Everything was TIG welded, all stainless steel, a real pro's work, it wasn't cheap, hell no, but the results made me forget that. Any way, it's still at a stage that I still have to build a permanent bracket, reopen the can bc I forgot to line it with heat barrier, and if all pans out I'll have it ceramic coated black, of course. Any feedback would be appreciated, I don't know how it will run on the dyno yet but I'm confident it shouldn't be too hard to tweak it just right on the hands of my mechanic. Here's few pics.
