do they sound any better than the aluminum ones or the stainless steel ones ?

somebody did a thread claiming the sun or the heat faded the carbon fiber. u might check on it
Not the fiber, it was the Epoxy coating that degraded.
oh. hmm cuz the carbon fiber ones look cooler. but im trying to weigh it out if its worth 200 more bucks
they do look nice, but i don't think they are worth an extra $200. Just go with the Aluminums.
On a similar note, is there any benefit to the stainless ones over the aluminum? They say they are the same weight but they are also like $200 moer.
well, they will be a lot stronger for one. but do you really need them to be strong? I don't think it's worth the extra two hundred bucks personally.
go aluminum. even the brazilian champ uses them!!!

edgar has the aluminums the carbons are on back order. better get em fast cuz when they sell out it might be weeks b4 he gets any more
See less See more
This is especially true at this time of year since the racing season is now over. They may not get more stock until the March/April time frame. Buy now or regret for several months :)

Thats what I thought, cause I couldn't think of much additional benefit that would be worth $200 either
I just ordered the last pair of aluminum sarachus' :)
oh they got 5 more, well thats good for ppl who dont yet have those cans :D
delivery may take up to 6 weeks because i dont live in usa or canada :(

They aren't the Carbon Fiber pipes, but they sound the same.

Be sure to rate it too, and read the review there as well.
Some CF cans will fade in the sun over time. I can't say for sure about the Sarachus but I know for sure others do.

You most likely won't have your bike for more than a few seasons anyway, get the stainless and save some money for your next bike.
