Looks nice - where did you get your extended mirrors from? Can't seem to find what you were referring to. Also have you any ideas on what can you are going to get? Im currently looking at a new can for mine as its still using the stock. My instructor who I caught up with a couple of weeks after I passed described its noise akin to a "fart in the wind" :P Im very tempted on getting a Beowulf Warrior but i've heard good things about Viper.

I got the mirrors from www.louis.de german company recomended on this site ,I searched in mods quick delivery and better price than all I saw on ebay shops etc.Don't know on the can yet ,been looking and listening on you tube to see what various ones sound like .Viper does look nice I think road legal can't be bothered with the hassle of race pipes but has to have a good sound to it.

Ah, awesome thank you :)

I agree, I'm not looking for any race parts - I have no intention to use the bike on a track at any point and noise is definitely the main point im interested in, performance being second. Very tempted on replacing the downpipes at the same time as well.

Just tried to order the new mirrors as its getting on my nerves not being able to see very well behind me - how did you enter a UK postcode for there delivery information? The input field on louis.de isnt't large enough :s No matter what I try, I can't find a way to put my full postcode in and i'm a little skeptical about ordering without my full address...

Id change the downpipes and probably sell the OE (Youll make quite abit of money back) i bought sandy spares downpipes for £175 added considerable improvement in low/medium range!

If your thinking of an end can, you might wanna check out fuel exhaust. Very happy with mine and at a good price as well. >>> http://www.fuelexhausts.com

They seem quite well priced, how is the sound? I want something quite deep ^^

 They come with a removable baffle, with it fitted there is a slightly better noise than standard but with it out, as I have all of the time and it sounds great, especially on full chat or on over run!

Hi guys, I have a viper on my fazer and it is a very nice sound. Nice and deep and certainly louder then the standard one but not too loud that you have to cover your ears. I had my can stubbied though and that made all the difference especially along with a K&N Filter. Viper would be a very good choice :D
