    :D Installed the used ebay canister system yesterday afternoon. Was told the muffler was hashed but it looked fine and sounded great. It does have a slight bash on the ack of the muffleer, but it cannot be seen as installed. I had the megaphone system a while back that had been bashed pretty badly before I got it, and I wanted to get an idea on soumd and performance. The canister is louder and more "throaty" than either the Jardine meg or Mac meg systems. It makes the stock pipes sound like well...stock. Will have to wait and see if the performance is increased. Collector length on the Jardine canister system seems to be longer than the Mac or the Meg system, bore aolong the lines of the Kerker system, but with smaller pipe. If my memory serves, long tubes with smaller pipe diameter should give improved midrange and top end. I am going to try to post pics shortly. cruzerjd

    Pics follow (hopefully)...[​IMG][​IMG] Performance is a bit better than stock, lots of top end and midrange, but I need to jet down a bit as I have the Dynojet mains for open filters which are a bit too big. Sold my Dynojet kit with the other jets so am going to have to contact Chacal on new ones. Pipe is LOUD though, idle is bearable but when you get on it it is reminescent of a 4 stroke dirt bike without a spark arrestor, probably due to the size and shape of the muffler. After 5000 rpm's though it screams like a banshee. Definately pulls hard though. cruzerjd
