Looking for opinions on Axys cans. I've got a 17 coming leaning towards SLP I want a mild not wild sounding can. Thoughts? Or links.

I run the SLP, sound is good - throaty but not loud. Fitment could be better, the top of it is very close to the top of the panel on that side and I have a small blister from it on that panel (small than a dime). Tried to mount it differently but could not gain any clearance.

I added a small piece of aluminum screwed to the unused attachment lugs on the sidepanel......

10-24 screws hold nicely.

Thank you for asking about a "mild" sound. The only two I have heard that have acceptable levels of sound are the Diamond S Quiet, and SLP. The Diamond S definitely gets louder with miles-- I wish they built it where you could repack it easily.

"Quiet Recreation" is the latest mantra from the non-motorized contingent. It is also the hardest to defend against because of its subjective nature.

The Diamond S Quiet can does not contain packing. It has baffles and after over 2000 miles mine has not gotten louder.

Slp is good can not too loud. Have owned five on pros and axys.. Have one in box brand new and primary spring of your choice for altitude. 0-3000, 3-6000, or 6000+ . Pm me if you are interested. I will beat any price you can find and pay shipping

SLP is a damn good choice. Just buy the pipe and can set and bolt on some noticeable HP. No fuel issues with that pipe, straight bolt (except clutching). Eric

I run the Diamond S Quiet can. I ran it with a stock pipe, an SSI mod pipe and now an SLP pipe. It is quiet and it is light at 3.5 lbs. No sound change either with over 800 miles with the three different pipes. As mentioned above, it does not have packing, it uses baffles to control sound and back pressure. The SLP can is good too but it is so close to the side panel that it can melt the panel. I have seen that happen on several sleds that have that can on them. Given the price of a side panel, it makes the Diamond S a better value. With the SLP pipe and the Diamond S Quiet can, I have dropped the weight on my sled by close to 20 lbs. That is cheap for weight removal plus the SLP pipe makes more power and torque. It is a great investment to make a good sled even better.

Ssi stainless, sound is little louder than slp and they are baffled not packed as well so will not get louder. They were on sale for 179 too which I thought was pretty good

Did you have any detonation issues with this pipe/can combo?
What altitude do you typically ride at?

I have about 300 miles on the SLP silencer with no issues. It is mounted solidly, has a nice sound to it, fits well, and is an 11 pound weight loss. In the upper rpm range (exhaust valves open) it has a high pitch to it which is heard by other riders close to you, but, not so loudly that it is obnoxious.

Sorry. Zero detonation issues with the combination. Elevation is 4,000 to 10,000. I had detonation issues when I was running the SSI pipe mod and the Diamond S even with a PCV w/ ignition module. I couldn't find a map that sorted it out so I sold the pipe and the PCV and put an SLP pipe on the sled. Happy camper now. The SSI pipe and PCV made a little more power but it really sucked when you were on a long pull in gnarly conditions and the detonation detector would put it in limp mode.
