Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis? It sounds great when a bike pops. It's only excess air igniting from the heat. Won't affect the can at all.Quote:

I rode round with a Hawk Kawasaki can that banged/popped and burbled for over 2 years, the packing/rivets and baffles were still fine when it went down the road. Fact is to get rid of them you have to de-tune your bike, and we already got to several pages before on that subject.
Maybe after 80,000 milesQuote:

Yep and I'm on my 3rd scorpian and the sv is far from 240,000!! It managed to remove the baffle tube of the first one and loosen 1/2 the rivets of the second! The one on there now is a special with a welded in baffle tube and stainless rivets!!!
I've also seen a Harris destroyed by backfiring the engine!!!
Trust me they are far from indestructable.
