R + Y or not

[Ted]

I have a 1150GSA with a Remus and Y piece fitted, love the noise but need to drop the noise level as pillion person finds it drones and gets on her nerevs on long motorway runs, so I am going to ether refit the cat and keep the remus can or keep the Y piece and fit the original end can as I still want some of that boxer beat to come through .
Any advice or opinions on which is the better option? Any one know if it will make the bike run better or worse?

Keep the Y peice and the can and get the person on the back some ear plugs and while your at it get yourself some too, then you won't hear the complaining.

Keep the Y piece and put on the standard can. Mine still sounds a little fruity when blasting the lanes, but really quiet when on motorway runs.

After nearly a year with a Y piece and Remus Revolution, I got fed up with the noise, especially on a long run..
So I changed back to the standard can and kept the Y piece on.. strangely enough the bike seemed faster and smoother with the standard can fitted, probably an illusion, but I do prefer it now.

Thanks for the replies, Have fitted the standard end can back but have a problem. The heat shield (with clamp attached)will not tighten up on the standard box!
Just a bit of history may help. I had the pipe and Y fitted from new and the dealer eventually gave me the cat and end can back which I have stored in the garage. Do you think there is any chance it is the wrong can? It dose fit the cat as I have tried but the clamp wont tighten up on that ether.
Any suggestions? Are there different ones for different years?
