Going to order exhaust, help on can choice
I'm going to order a Muzzys full exhaust system with an oval can... Which can, I don't know. I like the Carbon Fibre look, but really don't want to worry about it getting too hot(dyno, etc).. The Ti looks nice as well, but is it worth the $200 more just for the Ti look? I think the $200 can be better spent elsewhere.
I know my g/f will like the Stainless the best b/c she will be able to look at herself in it, but I am undecided ,and my g/f shouldn't have a say in this decision. What do YOU guys think given the above statements.

Ask the REAL pros Tostito, the "Protein Boy", or better yet, Anthony the  wheelie king. OOPS, this isn't the Smack House . . .

my g/f can pick out her own toys 
I may stick with the CF, just read on muzzys site that you have to be really carefull with the CF... I had a yosh CF system on my 12r, and never had any problems... But then again I didn't have it for more than 2-3k miles.

Main thing with the CF is making sure the packing is in good shape - I'd imagine they'll have a recommended inspect/re-packing schedule (oh boy, I can hear it now :P).

I use to have a Muzzy Ti pipe with a Carbon Fiber oval can on the 2000 ZX12...I bought a new Carbon Fiber cover because the carbon dried out became brittle after 3 years...I like the black can so I would buy a Carbon can again...As I did with my 2002 ZX12 which has an Akrapovic with the Carbon can...
If your worried about the Carbon can drying out then get the Stainless or Titanium can and paint it black if you really like the look of a black can!!!

I'm going to wait for the Akrapovic carbon. I like the look of that new hex design.

That CF can looks really nice TJ.... Anyone have pics of the stainless on a bike?
I painted the stock can on my ZX10r black after I gutted the cat and drilled some holes in the baffles... I was really happy with the look of the painted ZX10 can, but it deff. wasn't as nice as a CF can.
