morning all.
im hoping to pick up a Tuscan im buying at the weekend(spookily similar to the one DL23 has just bought,maybe grey ones do higher mileage :) )
anyway i wanted to get straight into the exhaust and so wondered about sleeving the cans.
is it literally a case of having the right diameter tube and slotting it in,does it need welding?
what about the fact that it reduces the bore a bit?
Or should i wait and get some new cans?
cheers
mike.

Can I ask how much the stainless cans you had made for your old cerbera cost? I think they'd suit the Tuscan really well.

sure,they were £400 the pair up to the catalyst,although i think prices have increased a bit since then.
by the way how did you remember that?
i thought some nice shiny stainless ones would look nice,but just wondered about a quick change for the time being.

There are some stainless Carbon Can Co exhaust cans on e-bay check HERE

Sleving the OE cans is OK,but once in are difficult to get out & the extra weight can put more strain on the exhaust stub connection which is a bit prone to cracking.

Cheers. Somebody else has them on their cerbera now. There was a pic of it on here a little while ago.
