I have the carbon ones on mine (BTW cheaper if you order direct rather than through ebay).
They are loud which is want I wanted, and weight next to nothing.
Had to put the end of link pipes into a vice to squash them to right shape before they would fit, put some exhaust paste on so they didnt leak.
Can feel a slight leak at the rivets holding the ends on.

i like the look of these. viper stubby cans roughly £250 a pair without link pipes, not sure if you can use standard link pipes or not...

or these which are cheaper still

and if you don't like stubby cans..a pair of normal length race cans for £180ish again it depends on link pipes
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-VTR1000 ... 2eb58c1f7c
if you can stretch another £100 i'm sure theres a fella who will make you a pair of high level link pipes, can't remember who it is but ask the question and i'm sure another forum member will know.
good luck with your search pete :thumbup:

+ one on the link pipes, I was in conversation with a fellow stormer who has these fitted & he told me he had loads of agro with the link pipes, in the end having to have some made up, thus costing more, which kind of blows the low cost out of the water.

Cheap isn't always good.

You pays your money in the end, when the cheap option wares out/breaks & needs replacing where have you saved any cash??

For not a lot more go for Fuel/Bewolfe or such like, at the very least they will have a guarantee with them, which I doubt you will have much joy with the ones off ebay via China if they even offer one.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
