Im not sure. Confused


Anyone have any good/bad experiences with this manufacturer?

I think the price looks quite good, with a good shipping price to the UK.


But hey, I know fuck all so im asking you lot.

Thanks.

I believe some WSB/BSB teams used to use them, so I don't think they are all that bad.

They are better than your common or garden viper/carbon can co/blueflame etc. I'd imagine they are pitched somewhere between Micron (at the mid level) and Akrapovic and Arrow (at the top level).

But I might be wrong! Wink

Thanks, I did think they were a good quality can, but they seem hard to find in the UK.

Unless anyone can point me to where i can purchase them here, ill most like give my monies to the Germans.

We've got a CBR600RR at work with one fitted and bloody hell is it loud! With the baffle out it's one of the loudest bikes I've heard and it's just the end can, not full system.

Quality seems pretty good, as MarJay said it is better than Viper/ART/CCC etc.

I fitted one to my lads TZR50, had to get rid of 50 pounds of ugly metal and the standard exhaust had to go.

Gotta say, Leo Vince are a lovely bit of kit, well made and his has matured with time, sounds very nice now.

Don't buy from the Germans, try this https://www.jhsracing.co.uk/leo_vince.htm

or go to the Leo Vince homepage and find the distributor there

I wouldn't like to imagine what those pipes debaffled would sound like! Shocked. My memories of leo vince were the dozens of ZX-canned piaggio NRG's / Gilera Runners running about my area back in the day. They did seem well made. I would put them in and around the region with arrow.

They are extremely good on Peugeot scooters. I know that for sure.

Loud, nuff said. Wink

Had a carbon one and weighed quite a lot for a slip on I suppose, but the noise is far better than that of previous cans (Yoshi and Akra). Its a deep burble that sounds like an F1 car.
