Just thought I'd give a quick shout out to SP Engineering in Frome, Somerset. I've just bought a set of SP Engineering Big Bore Carbon XLS stubby exhausts for my 03 Bird. I haven't seen any other Birds with SP exhausts on and I wanted to go for something different and with the deepest sound I could find and I spent ages looking around before deciding on these. I can only say how pleased I am with the look, the quality and as for the sound, well they sound great even with the baffles in (which is how I'm running them), really deep and throaty. Road legal with the baffles in, not sure about without but I think not, as without baffles they're biblically loud the minute you even touch the throttle and would attract a lot of attention. Weight saving I would guess is about 10kg over the standard silencers (the whole package weighed 15kg including box and wrapping). Having done a quick test ride I can’t stop grinning. I found SP Engineering really helpful and pleasant guys to deal with and the pricing is competitive. I don’t know if anyone else has experience of dealing with these guys, but I would happily recommend them based on this purchase and how the cans look and sound on my bike. I dealt with Dave. Top bloke. Here’s their website in case of interest:

Niiice Andy...'cept for the crude strap to the hanger bracket.
Now go get a recording and post it up as a WAV file.
Price reasonable? How much then? Don't be shy. What d'ya pay for the set up?

They are smart but those straps spoil all cans, the only company that i have seen who can be bothered to put proper brackets on is Remus.
So how much then?

Cheers for the nice comments guys, I'm really pleased with them. Most of the cans I've seen have these straps. Cost wise I paid £375 all in, with free delivery, which compares well. It's personal taste, but I think these cans look as good as, and sound better than, many of the other (more expensive) brands I had been considering. Sound file is a work in progress, I will revert...

I haven't forgotten the sound file, was going to go for a spin somewhere tonight (first rain free day in weeks) somewhere quiet so I could rev her up properly away from the neighbours, but found a fecking nail in my (otherwise perfectly good, low mileage) back tyre, so rideout and recording postponed...
