Yes. I have a round can from A16 which fitted on my L pipes perfectly. They are a good, trustworthy firm and know what they are talking about. You'll have to try and exchange it.

Yes, they do sound good but be aware it's not road legal. If you get pulled for a roadside check it's a £30 fine as it's not E-marked and you'll get a producer to show you've fitted a legal can. Depending where you have it MoT'd they may (should) refuse to pass it, so you may need to put the OEM can back on from time to time.

The standard length carbon cans are road legal.

Suppose you know this anyway as A16 are up front on the website and point out stubbies are not road legal.
