Its a Trx ......... its all about the sound of the cans
and IMO they definitely free up a couple of horses

Should give a coyple of hp. Much less restrictive, and the trx usually runs a bit rich as standard.
But its worth it just for the aural ecstacy

Bolting on end cans should give you at least 3 rwbhp.
They also have the benefit of looking better, weighing less and (most importantly) making the TRX sound like it should!!!!

The only thing with them is to check if they're "BSAU"/"E" marked (road/MOT legal).

They will not be marked for road use

Come MOT time, that
should be a good thing... a lot depends on the person doing the test at the time though.
Bet they sound nice though...

Just finished fitting the Rsv rear fairing to mine and was putting the Art cans back on and noticed a rattle. So I had shakey and their was something moving inside, hence a strip down and that revealed the packing was none existent. So a quick strip down and repack and whoah what a deference, they sound almost as nice as my Tuono's hexagonal Akras. If they are an old set of cans its worth having a look inside and a repack if needed, only takes an hour start to finish.
