Sleeving the cans - tube supplier near Woking?
Discussion
I used to run sleeved standard cans until one of them broke the weld on the rear silencer box due to the weight and fell off.
I replaced them with CCCs and the difference was amazing. Not only are they a fraction of the weight, but the sound (along with the pops and bangs) is so much better. Couldn't believe I ran the car for over a year without them. Decided there and then that it's the first thing you need to change when buying a Tuscan!

Ok thanks for the info. Looks like CCCs are the way forward so where can I find those for £18?? I replaced them with CCCs and the difference was amazing.

Mike,
A google or yell.com search for stainless tube at 51mm OD (thin wall) near Woking has got to produce something?
The only problem is that unless the metal merchant has something in stock, you might have to buy 3 or more metres?
Although they should be an interference fit, you might have to get a couple of tacks on the end to hold them/stop them rattling
