My trx is way too quiet with its standard cans, im used to a loud sv650.

Id like to fit some aftermarket cans, and found these link pipes for £50:

Ive read some topics about using the standard link pipes, but surely Id have to cut the standard cans off, and then the aftermarket ones would be pointing way too high?

KEEP OUT!
Idiots sent me a set of cans & linkpipes wich where the same size, asked me to send them back for adjustment and when i got them back they´ve made HUGE cuts in the cans and massive clamps instead of making new correct size linkpipes. I just gave up on the twats...

Get some specifications / diagrams out of them first, you need them to be made from stainless and be the right diameter for generic race cans, 2" / 50.8 mm O/D.
It would be nice to see a picture of a TRX with their link pipes fitted to it too, I`m personally not overly familier with their products but I have heard their name mentioned in biking circles and seen a pair of their carbon cans on a Busa.
To be honest their cans are pretty run of the mill, loads of exhaust can companies make products almost identical because they are using the same raw materials and components. End plates, inlets, carbon sleeves, sleeve bands and perforated tube are all readily available and JCExhausts are buying component parts that anyone else can buy.

Ive seen some of kaylas exhaust hangers on ebay, look very 8) only after some link pipes as I`ll just get a pair of cans at some point, wanted to check avaliability of link pipes first.

thanks for the warnings on JCE though. :evil:
