PipeWerx

Post by Kwacky »

Are they any good?

I like the black satin with stainless ends, they seem a good price.

Or should I go for these little beauts?

That said I've got no cash so I'll probably daydream about them for a few weeks ;(

Erm.. If there is genuinely choice and money no issue.. No comments required :-) however I too wonder about pipewerx and been looking for the tiger. Reasonable price providing it doesn't burn out fast..ie internals deteriorate like some cheap cans I heard horror stories about.

Rick, I get your point but they're totally different looking cans. I'm not sure which ones I should go for. The Pipe Werx ones are probably more in keeping with the bike but I do like those small cans from Akra.

Came across these the other day. Don't know anything about them, but they look really good and come with a two year unlimited mileage warranty. They also do decat pipes.

Second one for me. I don't think those skinny motogp akrapovic cans look right IMO.

I'm with Blade there. Don't think those Akras pictured look great...on any bike personally. :D

How about these? I like the SC Project stuff.

Don't like that though.

I like the black finish if I'm going for a standard can.

I wasn't going to, but those pipes are very, very quiet and no one can hear me. It's a real pain when I'm filtering, especially in Birmingham city centre. I need something loud.

I looked at buying an old pair of stock cans and putting them on a diet by ripping out most of the inner workings, but even second hand ones are going for £170 each.
