i wouldnt go to the hassle of re-jetting just for a can, it'll make a negligible difference to the fuelling, (the link pipe is baffled as well as the can) and even some full systems (micron? scorpion) dont need bigger jets. I've had 2 stock L's dynoed and setup and they came back with smaller jets than stock !

also, the chances of getting it spot on without going on a dyno are minimal.

i'd run it as is, then get on a dyno once you've bought a full system/filter etc and the bike is as you want it.

can's a can mate .. if you like the look of it, then :) i had a stainless blueflame on an H1, sounded ok.

BEST exhaust ? ... beet titanium (like mine :smt003 ) or MHP.. either are £££ though (bout what your bike cost).. the delkevic stainless OE copies arent bad (but obviously dont perform any differently to OE) micron is ok, scorpion systems are V pretty, but dont seem to perform that well (might just have been the bike it was on though - setup for a micron)
