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).

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...

Fitted them today
makes the bike a different animal! I didnt take it out as i have other parts off the bike but 1st thoughts are they may be a little too loud for me. I need to think about it!

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.
