If you mean putting sp1 pipes onto a firestorm, i know of one person who did it onthe american forum, but i think he said it was a ballache!
I can't imagine it would be worth the hassle, and don't think you'd gain much in the way of power or noise.
Would look quite nice though- I like the way they sweep upwards.
If you do decide to do it, I know of a LEFT pipe going for free.

I have a set of SP1 cans in damn fine condition if you want to try it.

They weigh the same as a small elephant though....

Hi I was thinking of the manifold thought they might be of a bigger bore not so restricted.
Thanks for the imput.

They are a little larger and also compleatly different in shape. I looked into having some Firestorm link pipes altered to fit my SP. Lets just say the Bloke I took them to didn't say it couldn't be done..he just wasn't very keen to do it.

I bet it be a whole lot easier and possibly cheaper just to buy some aftermarket cans-they're always Firestorm cans of all types kicking about on EBay.

Like Pete says-SP cans are completley different in shape and size to Storm cans. I don't know how effective they'd look fitted on a Storm anyway :?

Hi Thanks for the imput thought it might be a quick way of releasing some more bhp. I've already got some art cans on the bike make a lovely sound makes me smile every time i hear them. :thumbup:

Stick with the Arts Geoff.
Their race pipe plus a filter and a jet kit will give you just about the best you are going to get without spending some big money.
Put a larger sprocket on the rear, +2 teeth is my favorite, it'll feel like another 20hp at your wrist :twisted:
Then I'd spend on better suspenders and brake as time/money allows :wink:
but that's just my opinion :biggrin
