This may sound like quite a small thing to be putting some much thought into but......i have a dilemma Confused

I going to buy a new end can for my speed four so that it sounds nicer and looks nicer that the HUGE stock one it has at the moment. The only thing i have managed to decide is i want it in Carbon Fibre.

Being quite a curvy:

I was then thinking of getting a Devil end can for it, but which shape?

But, then slimjim04 told me about a local place that could get a stubby can made up, oval or round

So, my question is, do you prefer oval or round cans? on some bikes i think round cans can look terrible and on others oval look completely not fitting with the bike.

Just looking for poeples view on the subject Thumbs Up
And added poll Thumbs Up

Definitely oval, but really I just try and find the cheapest I can - if it's oval, all the better. Laughing

After having both carbon and Ti cans, I wouldn't have aonther carbon one. They just look a bit dated and plasticky IMO. The metal one's also age nicely, the odd scratch and decolouration here and there adds to their appeal to me.

I'd go for the large mouth round devil can in S/S or ti if they do one. Stubbier cans look great in round section too.

Did someone say loud can? Mivv. Wink
Despite being loud, it's also E-marked which is a nice touch.

I don't think having it e marked makes any difference. My old Micron had it but also had "not for road use" too.

Couldn't you ask the shop that does custom pipes, to make it fit, sure they could?

I suppose it looks a bit better then nothing or having 'not for road use' on the side. Smile

The idea of hacking up my exhaust system when i could simple bolt a wide range of others cans on the bike isnt one that i like, thanks for the input though (i cant believe those cans are only £200)

Another idea is getting a Devil Racer can made into a stubby, in titanium Thinking that would look/sound good Laughing
