Looks great, what can?

I'm looking for a replacement for my V&H supersport...sucker is just too loud for a high RPM bike.

Its an old Cobra F1s midpipe-can combo. I spent a little time on the buffing wheel cleaning up the pipe and can. Being 18 yrs old and probably tossed from shelf to shelf after it was removed from its first Bandit,it needed some help.The aluminum was was oxidized and there were rust pits all over the chrome. I never really cared for the brushed aluminum that all those F1's were back in the day and the faded orange f1s sticker had to go.I re-packed the can with a blanket of FMF 4 stroke interwoven fiberglass and I've got to say its WAY quieter than I thought it would be.Its alot deeper sounding and I'm gonna say not more than a few Db louder than the stocker.

Hi Jmuriz,
You can use most any 2" slip on and make a bracket to connect it up. ive got a micron Cbr600f2 on mine and i get the deeper tone off that, not too loud but nice n meaty.
