Carbon Cans Or leovince???
 

What is the better of the two?

I am Just about the place an order for a set of stainless carbon cans.

Stu i am also looking for cans.If you havent already then take a look on utube as theres some video of different cans and what they sound like when fitted.
Personally i like the real deep sound of the leo vince but ive heard proper good stories of the CCC sets.Im not sure if the CCC cans are getting bigged up on here as a discount is offered to members (which is great! no dissing) but they do also sound bloody nice and ive seen on some youtube footage flames spitting out the ends of the cans. Not sure if this was a modded bike that caused the flames so if anyone can tell me if this works on the standard CCC cans id appreciate it.
Id personally love the akrapovic cans but they are around the �500-�700 mark and thats way over my head! If you do look on youtube do a search on "XT660 akrapovics" and check out the footage of the guy or "unlce g" with the cheeky grim and a look that says ------

" Check out my NEW Akros ! " funny **** man! Good luck in finding the right ones mate,im hoping the member that PMed me is gonna come up trumps. ill post up what my new cans are like....if i get them ...eventually. ;)

Powerfreak there is one of our admin in Spain who has recently sold his XT, he has a 2nd hand set of Carbon Can Co stubbies in Carbon and Ti. they were swapped from my bike to his... but when he sold his he didn't have a spare set of link pipes so we got some new ones from :CCC: which means the cans are used but the pipes are brand spanikng, so send him a pm, see how much he's asking for them, his username is nein, speaks perfect good english.

Yes i have spoken to him via PM and he has ordered the pipes that were missing BUT someone else has got first refusal on them so i dont think im gonna get them. :( boo hoo Im really thinking of ordering now from ccc.Im very impatient ! ;)

Completly change the subject here sorry but i see your youtube footage about the xt bike that was stolen,what are the cans that were on that? and how much are they CMoto (stubbies i think)? im liking them.

Just ordered a set of full length stainless steel with oval ends, at a good price aswell, should be with me by wednesday aswell which is brill

Wrong place wrong time

I went with the LeoVince and I have to say I am not disappointed, they sound fantastic are well made and reduced the weight of my bike. The CCC looked OK and are highly recommended by a lot of peeps on this forum, but for what I paid for mine I was and still am well happy. (�289 inc postage)

Now thats the cheapest ive heard for the veoVince.I can get them on ebay for �299 and thats with free postage.Was yours free postage also moffman?( Duh! yes it was i see now sorry!) May i ask where you bought them from mate...im going to order them tomorrow.

Mine came from Italy, sourced from fleabay, they were at buy it now at �329 or best offer, guess what my offer was, lol............................................... ................. yep thats right �289 and yes P&P was free. Only took 5 days from paying for them till arrival, offer accepted and paid for on the Sunday evening, delivered Friday morning. Also after it was all fitted it went to the local dyno to set it up properly, I had downloaded a custom map from here, but Kev advised it was best to have it set up specifically for my bike and I have to admit he was right again. The custom map was not a million miles away but the dyno time cured the slight wooliness at low revs and boosted top end HP and torque slightly, also improved fuel economy.

i went with the carbons as alot of ppl on here have em, plus on flee bay the leovince are up for 360quid for some reason

should get me cans tomorow so bang em on and off out for a ride

How much did you pay for the dyno Moff? and do you have any other mods fitted such as stage 1 2 3 etc etc?
