If you're resigned to saving up for it.... then wait just a bit yet.

Randy's system threatens to be absolutely ungodly badass.

Just got back from the WCR. I saw all 4 types of cans that will be offered. What I saw was..... Brushed Titanium, Polished Stainless Steel, Carbon Fiber, and Chrome Megaphone. They all looked great. I did find out that no Slip-on will be offered, onlt the full 4-2-1 system.

The only type muffler I have heard on a fully functional FJ is the Carbon Fiber muffler. IMO it sounds very similar to my V & H SS2r.  :good: :yahoo:

I did hear the megaphone, but it is on a test bike and the engine needs some tweaking. (Nothing to do with the exhaust). So I did not fully hear how that will sound with a finely tuned engine.
