Do you mean you have the original carbon surround cans or a set of carbon cans? If originals, I recommend either sleeving them or replacing them with a pair of carbon cans.

If you're wanting something different, try contacting NTEL, he makes de-cats and some rather nice end cans that are good quality and sound awesome!

I had a pair of Suzuki gsxr cans of one of our race bikes on one of my Cerberus a few years ago,mounted sideways with large bore stainless steel pipe work and jag tail pipes ,sounded awesome but not too noisy.just remember if you use alloy they may corrode quite quick ,
A pair of yoshimura tri ovals with body mod to suit should look wicked.
there are plenty of bike can and pipe manufacturers out there who will accommodate you,

Carbon Can Co, Scorpion, already do cars.try looking in street fighters, back street heroes magazines for some company's, many smaller ones will do custom one off systems.
Some places like "Tyre spot" do custom pipes in a day or two

I've got some stubby Moto GP style carbon cans on mine at the moment. They are perforated inside but because so short they work well with the decat, stopping the raspy sound it had with my old sleeved standard cans.

I agree, the Carbon Can Co's Stainless Steel end cans look and sound fantastic!
I paid £230 for a pair a couple of years ago - the guy used to sell them on ebay but I have not seen them recently. I do recall that the maker left the company but still made the units under a new name??
I am sure someone knows the cheapest way of getting a set of these as they really are worth it!

I wonder if you could get a set of Akrapovics on there?, it sounds like Tuscans will be needing Power Commanders soon with all the bike cans going on!, those Moto Gp style ones look lovely.

Funny you should mention Power Commanders, I've talked to Dynojet about fitting a Power Commander to a Speed 6, the new PC5 will easily fit onto virtually any car fuel injection system, the only problem is it will only run 4 injectors so you would have to fit 2 on a Speed 6.

I can also make the MotoGP style cans to fit Tuscans if anyone really wants some.
