I always liked the renegade cans I had on my Storm, carbon fibre, high levels.

Heres my Scorpion hi-levels.very tight next to the swing arm, but follow the seat perfectly.
Although you can see why my boots keep getting the heels melted...

I dont like the Sp pipes, I think the angle of the pipes clashes with the flow of the seat and fairing.

Was it you who bought them off me on ebay?

I guess it's a matter of taste ;) the goose neck mid pipe is not the best looking thing and I think there is a trade here, but the swept exhaust look I tend to prefer more, just seems more in line with the rest of the bike, not necessarily with the tail alone.
Here is a picture from a trip two summers ago with a friend of mine that have swept look and I kinda like it.

So one of the nights this past week after getting the kids to sleep decided to play with the stock exhaust a bit, that's what came out:

Looks good bud but it bet it blows at the connections with that angle on them?

I tried it a few years ago and no matter how much I messed about I couldn't get a decent seal on the connecter

It does leak a bit on the right side connector, expected that :) . Barely noticeable though, but I will take care of this with some exhaust sealant made for that purpose, the left side no issues, rotates perfectly to place :wink:

Good luck on getting it sealed in, I tried all manner of pastes and putty but all lasted about 2 weeks at the most, don't know if it was the heat or pressure but it kept blowing it out mate, just a heads up

It's the pressure mate, no doubt. I guess will see... had an idea that may just work in this case using a different type of clamp, thank's for the heads up :thumbup:

Try silicone (automotive), its all I use on exhausts as if stays flexible, also easier I find to clean up and make good as its clear already :-) worked well on my recently stubbied vipers....now just got to get the rest of the bike up to scratch :grin:
