I have a Zach Y piece (bought for £50 seccond hand) and a set of laser end cans, bought new for £450 (I think) I have kept the dB killers in and it sounds great, they also have the EU approveal stamp thingy. Bit of a sod to fit the silencers on to the little spigots under the seat. Cat to header bolts need plenty of plus gas to remove without snapping!
As for performance, I also have a BBPower chip set to stage 3 (I think LoL losing my memory!) And a K+N drop in filter. She really flys! I can pick the front wheel up just by using the throtle should I want to. I am sure I never could in stock trim.
I think its a bit more thirsty round town than it was but on a long run its as frugal as it was.
Jason has heard my bike and I think he will agree that its not offensively loud. Its also just passed its MOT so it cant be too bad!
I beleive the Vandelinde is not all stainless steel. I did look at those first.

Alright Simon - have seen (or heard!) you about lately - you been travelling again? As for noise, I'm sure anything sounds quiet after your Harley

errrm,
I didn't want to say, but the Lennies, K&N, Y pipe - + nothing else, is enough to lift the front on hard throttle.
Oh, I have lightened the bike as well, I took off that grab handle (to assist moving it on to the main stand). I figured as I am not a size six and my hand would not fit through the hole, I could save several kg by junking that bit. And now it too flies!!!!
