OK Great ... now there is over 30 and more than that there was a couple that weren't scratched or dented as per their description ...
On a side note ... I got 3 payments and 6+ that I can make with the material I have ... My goal is to be done with the flanges soon ... looks like it might not happen ... but anyone that's needing a flange please send me $$ cos when the 3 more are sold ... no telling when I'll make more ... cos round things aren't there ... I'll have to find them ...
Cool.

There was no defect in the can I got.  There was what could be considered a scratch, about a 1/4 inch long, on the side that faces the wheel.   So, big deal.  For $50?  I'd say I stole it.

It sounds like Vrooooooooooooooooooom.  And when it's at idle it's like whoomp whoomp whoomp whoomp whoomp whoomp.whoomp whoomp.  

When it's idling in the garage and I stand in my kitchen it sounds like a Huey helicopter is hovering nearby.

I'll work on getting a nice quality sound byte of it posted here.

Sound bite would be cool. . .

Hey, it is a motorcycle.  Is should turn some heads?  Right?  

My neighbors probably already hate me.   Screw 'em.  It is going to look  boss!!!

just installed mine on my '04.  

sounds good.   midpipe was a little bit of a hassle to install.  it was actually hitting the brake lever and i had to finaggle it a little bit.  

this sounds much better than stock.

The Buddha

Its not hitting now right ... The slip fit actually doesn't let it turn unless you have the can on and the bolts loose and you have a long rod inbetween the bolts and use that leverage ... but tight fit is needed else it will leak there ... anyway its not hitting now right ...
Cool.

Minds eye:

Ah, I get it. . . put the can on, very loose, slip fit the mid-pipe.  Bolt can to flange, very loose. . .

Slide long rod/lever between can and flange and use bolts to rotate mid-pipe like a clock, sealing the fit of the mid pipe.  

Correct?

The Buddha

Fit the can to mid pipe and position it and finnagle it ... now once you're sure the position is right ... Remove the can, knock the flange in with a mallet ... and bolt can back in ... OR wait a sec ... the ones I am making now are going to fit loose ... you position it etc and get it all lined up and make a chalk mark, then remove it and slip on the small piece of pipe I have in it ... and now it will fit tight ... Yes I made a small mod to the design ... the pipe fits loose on the header, but there is a small pipe that fits on the header and takes up the slack ... you'll know when you get it.
Also people many times forget to sand the short piece they are slipping on ... its gotta have some wd 40 and be smoothly sanded ... then the mid pipe will slip on and rotate with a little effort. Anyway ... the new ones should go on easier ... they are larger ID ... just wait and see ...
Cool.

Got my can, can't wait to get my flange  :)

It's in perfect condition except for two or three microscopic scrape/scratches wheelside. Such a great value. Can't wait to hear how it sounds.

Yea Told y'all so ... those guys over describe ... and like they write up dirt spots as scratches and defects ... heck off the shelf at bike stores I have seen worse ... on exhausts that cost like $900+ ... They just describe themselves right out of the sale ...
Cool.
