Not me - my exhaust sounds great!

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.

apart from damaging the packing, rivets and any baffles....

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 miles
Perhaps you could let him know that not cornering so hard will extend the life of his tyres too ;D

Trust me guys this wasn't a little pop and bang.... it sounded like it was backfiring!!!!

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.
