exhaust cans and link pipes

[RAINMAKER]

which companys sell the cans with link pipes, low or high levels...........or where do you get links if not with cans?
In the past I had ART race cans and link pipes came with them.

or pick up a bargain and polish them up...

I purchased a set of Fuel cans for 263 quid plus 10 quid P&P. They're pretty damn good for the money. Includes link pipes and removeable baffles. A bonus come MoT time.

That seems like the best option....

They've gone up a few quid since I got mine a month or so ago, but even at 279 they're still good value. The cans themselves are well made and decent quality. I went for the stainless oval ones. I trashed one of the Leo's when a had a slight off. I didn't have the money to replace the Leo's at around 600 notes. On the up side the Fuel's have removeable baffles whereas the Leo's didn't.
The company are very helpful and the service was excellent. 3 days from ordering to delivery and they're acrually made in England by and English craftsman. Can't be all bad!

Barry,
How do you find the Fuel exhausts, do they give smooth power though out the rev range without any flat spots Of course that will only really be a true test if the bike has standard carb jets and air filter.

I have Scorpion can's on my bike and if you look on their site you'll see they carry out dyno work in producing a better can than the standard ones, but I can't see Fuel say anything about doing that on their site.

I had a good long chat with they guy at Fuel about this. I had a hell of a job getting the bike to run properly with the Leo's I had before. My bike has standard jets/fueling and filter. I had to change it all back when I trashed the Leo's. The guy at fuel assured me that I wouldn't need to make any changes to fueling with their cans. Me being me took this with a pich of salt.
Anyways the cans came through and I fitted them. I thought I'd take it for a run to see what it would be like. In actual fact with the standard set up on the carbs the bike runs better with the Fuel cans than it does with the standard one. Its a lot smoother. Throttle response is a bit better and theres no flat spots at all. There is a lot less popping and farting back through the carbs, read nil as mine didn't do it much anyway.
The build and material quality is pretty damn good for the price. I went for the ovals, purely for looks, over the round cans with standard level link pipes. They do state that they do high level link pipes on their site.
If I need a system for any other bike in the future I'll being going back to them. For the cost and level of service I don't think you'll do much better.

Thats really good..............decision made then.............now just need to get a bike to fit em on, I just can't get on with in line fours any more. Time for vtr number 2.

Barry,
Thanks for the reply

You hear of people fitting after market can's and ending up with a flat spot they didn't have before when everything was standard.

This is my opinion on my can's, not dis-similar to yours.
I have to say when I fitted my Scorpion race can's my bike didn't suffer any flat spot problems either. It now feels like the peak torque has been lowered slightly (just where you want it), it definitely rev's much more freely than with the standard can's and also feels like the bike has a few extra ponies too
