My stock twin exit system has a pleasant burble, but I was thinking of swapping my rear silencers for a pair of superbike cans for some proper noise :-)

Anyone done anything similar?

Keep in mind superbikes are still only around 1 litre and usually have two mufflers, so these will be small compared to car mufflers. What's wrong with aftermarket straight-through mufflers? They'll be cheaper and probably louder if they're bigger internally.
BTW, superbike mufflers won't make your rotary sound like a V-twin!

Damn, that's the sound I was after! ;-)

Another way to look at it: A Ducati 998R for example has cans that are suitable for its 140hp output. That's stoopid power on a bike, but it's 20hp LESS than a stock S5 NA, let alone a modded one or a TII (you don't say what you've got).

Just got an '89 NA.
It just ain't fair that bikes sound soooooo good!

Pull both plug leads off one rotor. Sorta sounds the same...
