    Fix those crashed cans instead of replacing them.

    This is Franks (Tbsgraphics) new buisness, CAN-IT. Why spend money on replacement cans or run around with dented and jacked up cans when they can be repaired, repacked, shortend, or replaced.

    This is my Arata Ti cans before and after.

    Cost for mine was 2 sleeve repairs at $30 each, base charge of $25 each for disassembly and assembly for a total of $110.
    Services available are list below

    Base charge per can = $25 (this is required for all work listed below)
    Repair sleeve per can= $30
    Replace sleeve / can = $45
    Repair core per can = $30
    Replace core / can = $45
    Shorten can = $40
    Lengthen can(requires new core) =$40 + $45
    Replace packing =$30

    Give him a call. 303-947-4901 or email--tbsgraphics AT comcast.net[img][/img]

    I second the props for Frank. He shortened up and repaired a badly munched M4 for me, and the results were astounding. Couldn't believe how reasonable his pricing was, either.

    Yes, I believe he can do the carbon cans too. He was going to shorten an R1 carbon can for a street friend of mine as well.
    I did not claw my way to the top of the foodchain to eat my veggies.

    ABSOLUTELY Dion, I know for a fact he can as he has done his and a few others. AND he can make you a metal sleeve for a crushed carbon as well.
    Give him a call or bring it to work and I can get it this week from ya and drop it off to him, as he lives just down the street.

    You guys do realize that on many bikes if you shorten the exhaust canister it really effects the horsepower, right?

    Agree.. Most cores are slightly tappered and I try to cut from the smaller end leaveing a larger internal diameter, This will be a bit louder but flow cleaner also, but with better flow in some cases could make more top power(maybe less torque) if it's map correctly.....

    Right Dave?
