They look nice in the pics, would love to see a set mounted to a VTEC.
they do look the business mate.couldn,t resist,just bought a set through e-bay.there are 3 pictures of the silencers(mufflers) fitted to a interceptor on the fmf site...is there a vfr anomonous?..cant stop modifying this brilliant bike!.
Apparently, the cans are intended to be mounted with the logos facing out, which makes them stick out funny on the bike (see top pic)
But with a little reworking, you can swap them side for side and they tuck in a lot better, with the logos facing in (bottom pic)
The guy in this video swapped his around, I think they look a lot better that way.

Post up some pics/sound clip when you install them, and let us know which way you decided to face them after all.
thanks for that excellent work,got me salavating now!..will be in touch..
Here's what the YouTube guy had to say:
Q- You did a good job man they look much better that way(logo's in)..When you say a "bit of work" did you have to cut and change the mounting on the cans or re-weld anything or was it just patience and fiddle around with it.. Going to order a set for my VFR and mount them your way so Thanks for uploading the video..
A- No cutting or welding, just some slight bending of the mounting tabs on the cans. And some trial and error with the bolts. I ended up using the stock bolts without spacers (cans come with new longer bolts and spacers).
Q- Hi there nice bike man. Quick question can these pipes be mounted both ways, like logo's facing out on both and logo's facing in on both..? Are the mountings the same...Thanks
A- Yes, they can be mounted both ways. They are intended to be mounted with the logos out, but I didn't like that look. It takes a bit of work to make them fit the other way (logos in, like my bike), but it's not too bad.

I think it is one of the better looking VTEC exhausts for sure, but I think if they were pulled forward about 2 inches it would be even better, I don't like to see the front of the canister.
Wonder if it wil fit with the OEM handbags?
Handbags. :laughing6-hehe:

FMF has been building Dirt Bike exhaust for decades and just recently entered teh street bike market. Should be of good quality IMO!
the lower mount pic looks like how they were designed to be mounted to teh Vtec.
