Just received my new cans from the Carbon Can Co this morning! It's been worth the wait whilst these have been developed!!

Look gorgeous. Copies of the original cans, but with a coloured rather than carbon-fibre finish. Still weigh next to nothing as well.


Pics below, plus a short movie (sorry for the poor quality, it was taken on a Canon Ixus - i'll get some proper camcorder footage with better sound soon).






What do they sound like?

I SAID I...oh never mind!



Only one thing to say really:

Yeah - good aren't they

Having watched the clip again tho, I ought to add that I couldn't give it much when I was revving it since I'm still running the car back in. Once its done though, I'm sure those cans will scream at 6000rpm

Listened sounds great..but what i want to know (something that you can only really tell in the flesh so to speak) is how much more 'rumbly' ie 'bassey' are they compared to regular sleeved cans which IMO sound a bit tinny

Sorry. That's the closest I could get. Winston Cup is NASCAR's highest level championship.
