Go for a two brothers. They sound great :yes:

Any three-bolt can that was originally designed for a GSXR1100 will flow enough air
to make it worth your while. But it's not just a matter of bolting a new can on and riding.

Do remember that by putting a different can on the bike you will change your airflow characteristics. Usually they give more airflow. More air = change to air/fuel ratio ie they will run lean, which is bad for a motor as it can cause pre-ignition. This turns motors into hand grenades. The answer is to change the jets for bigger ones. The plus side is the bike will run faster, and maybe smoother too. Also, you may find that you will sacrifice midrange power for top end.

A fun, but expensive route to go down. Have fun.

How long is a piece of string?This long :zzzz:
