    I'm sick of this TwoBros POS I have now so I'm getting a new pipe for my 2000 VFR.

    My questions:

    Anyone have any issues with carbon fiber?

    Any durability concerns?

    Assuming the same company (Scorpion), should I get a stainless steel or carbon fiber can?

    I know CF is used on exhausts entirely for weight saving and cosmetic reasons.  I've been shopping around & I can get a SS Scorpion for $260 or a CF Scorpion for $340.  I'd like to get a Staintune but they are pricey and from what I can tell reading the various posts, the Scorpion cans are just as good.  Can anyone offer a good comparison between Scorpion and Staintune?  Not an opinion, just some facts on why one is better than the other?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've been looking @ "Devil" cans for my 03. They're carbon fiber, with a stainless steel wool for packing (much more durable and longer lasting than fiber glass). Not sure about the 2000, but you can check. Should be light, long lasting, sound good.
