Looking at getting a new end can for my NC29 not sure whether to go for another stainless steel or carbon fibre what do you people think ?

here`s a pic of my current one, its a round scorpion but too now corroded so needs replacing !!

Carbon fibre also doesn't get hot so less burning yourself on the exhaust body.

but it does become brittle after a couple of years.

Stainless will look better with that paintscheme.

Weight difference is more or less neglible. Just make sure you go to the toilet before every ride.

I hear you can blow up carbon cans from backfiring also. I haven't met a 400 rider who doesn't enjoy deliberatly backfiring, so theres something to bear in mind.
