Looking good. Is that an 02 rsvr? The yellow ones are def growing on me. The rim tape definitely sets it off.
I've just fitted an RSV Titanium evo which I bought off a guy on here and apart from the badge on yours it looks identical.
I weighed the old can of which I am rather fond of actually! and it was 6.8Kg the Ti evo was 2.8Kg...quite a flippin difference and it sounds unreal.

02 yes, i love the colour too. I personally quite like the orig exhaust look and may be forced to put it back on as for neighbourly relations, I've had a few distasteful looks. This has never bothered me before with loud bikes but the mille is a bit more full on!
This is probably a dumb question but what are the springs in the exhaust for?

I put a micron on the previous 03 mille but it blew part on the first ride!
So this is my first after market on the 02 mille and it sounds fricken evil...
When you say springs 'IN' your exhaust...do you mean the retaining springs on the outside?

I've tried to attach a pic not sure whether it will work?
Anyway I'm guessing you mean the the spring that attaches the mid pipes/manifold to the front and rear headers.
It's just the same as the can really, an interference fit held together by springs. I'm not sure why they use this method. It's probably for expansion or so that the exhaust can move around under load/ heat.

on the Leo Vince i have a spring where the link pipe connects to the can on the underside. If you look on the pic at beginning of this thread you can see it on the underside of pipe. It's a sheathed spring, I'm not talking about the 2 springs attaching to header pipes.
It seems to serve no purpose as the link pipe and can are one piece?
