Sound...1 or 2 cans?

hey all.

my 1st '86 VFR750F has a pair of aluminum Supertrapps with the disk system, and a K&N with modded airbox. but my 2nd '86 VFR750F is all stock and didn't have nearly the same sound. i hope to start rebuilding it as a "Flyin" Fred Merkel replica in the next few months, but the race bike had a single left-exit exh... i REALLY loved the sound of my dual Super's, but was thinkin about goin the route of single 16" iDS2 Supertrapp can on a custom left-exit high-mount pipe.

basically, i'd like to know if anyone has had set-ups similar to both and if the single can would have the same type of sound. i've heard single Kirker and Yosh systems, but they didn't have the *snap* of the disk'd Supertrapp. would one can be quieter, or more restrictive? would adding more disks to the iDS2 Supertrapp can make it sound more like a dual can system and be louder?

all comments welcomed!
thx :D

I have a 93, but with shotgun style duals, and I love it.

BUT, if your going for accuracy, stick with a single left can. If your going for what YOU like, I saw them as duals, one per side.

Your money, your bike.

i'm not too concerned with being completely authentic, mostly because people who don't know the bike won't know the difference anyway ...and those of us who do know the bike won't be fooled by a cheap copy.

i guess i'll just order 1 iDS2 can and mount it temporary to check the sound and see how she runs. that should allow me to play with tuning the disk system a bit also. if i don't like it (if it's not loud and crackly enough), i'll get the 2nd can. either way i'll need a new mid-pipe built for the high-mount placement of 1 or 2 cans.
