I do like the looks of that can. Really nice!
Honestly IMHO it would look better moved forward and angled down like Gedges... (or are Gedge n' me the only guys who like that look?).
I've ordered a Holeshot stainless Y-pipe and a jet kit from Bernd at Tunebike.de and am sourcing a big oval canister off ebay if I can win one cheap. My budget is $399 USD (or less), same as the aluminum M4 can and pipe (which I am not really crazy about the looks of)... but I am hoping to get either a stainless, titanium or carbon can as an upgrade for my troubles.
As soon as all the parts arrive and I can get the pipe fitted to my liking, I will post pics (and maybe a before/after dyno chart).

Love the improvement-in performance, looks and sound (especially the sound ).
Not quite happy with the positioning-am getting a load of different length spacers and differing hangers made so that I can get iot positioned just so, but it is nearly where I want it.
I will have to get around to fitting the rear guard I have-it moves the rear light to under the mudguard, the indicators back 4 inches, and the rear plate out of the reach of the tail pipes.

Is it as loud as the bloke at CCC says?

It is quite loud, but no more than an Akro or Arrow system that some have on their KTM's. It is slightly louder than standard
It is stamped as road legal, and when "going easy" is quiet (do the twin outlets make a difference?)-but not so when giving it the berries (sounds nice in London's Limehouse Link). Power definately comes in with more of a kick now.
One other important benefit is that I seem to be getting more miles out of a tank of petrol, on the same run at the same speed. Maybe the weight loss (not mine, I hasten to add) and the easier breathing motor helps.
Still had no time to change to the short rear guard, let alone move the indicators.

Unfortunatly as the first country to introduce number plates (and postage stamps BTW) we are stuck with an old attitude with number plates. Still at least we keep the same one for the life of the vehicle, saves having to change then all the time.

Should the brakes fail they act as a very good parachute though

here is what they should look like
on a 800x600 monitor it is about 1/2 inch smaller in width than the real thing
and yes the yellow thing is the mot or inspecton sticker
and yes it is expired but can do that when the doc says i can drive
and yes i like that plate its on the saxon tour

the UK registration plate is a curse, bt sadly the governmenmt shows no sign of changing its size ( ifanything I am sure they would make them even bigger to help the scameras)
