Is it just me or the standard can already loud enough? Must be my old age. I have a Scorpion can just sitting around collecting dust....no idea how loud it is.

well the previous owner swapped it for MOT time so it must be bolt on.

Will do! After MOT! Don't want to take it off and have to put it back on in a month.

NC...
Not strictly legal, but a friendly MOT centre will pass your bike with the Scorpion on, if you show them you have the original.
I have a Scorpion stainless can which isn't road legal but the test centre passed it and that was only me telling them I have the original, they didn't see it!!
Even if they do insist you swap the cans, it's only 3 screws on the can and the bolt for the hanger... 5 min job to switch!
