The stamp is just after the clamp, facing towards the bottom of the bike. I
recommend a real good once over inspection on the can before you go through
the inspection.

Collected and fitted the Triumph 'sports exhaust' yesterday.
Less than 10 mins to fit (two bolts - be careful the one on the rear peg is
a 'tight' 12mm; dont use a 13mm!). As someone else pointed out, it is 2-3"
shorter than the stock pipe, which improves the look with the pannier bags
fitted (the pipes are 'dropped', via a bracket off the pillion peg, to allow
the hard bags to be fitted - the pipe then extends past the rear wheel too
far).
The sound is a deep, soft growl; hardly louder in town that
the stock pipe, but makes a lovely howl above 5000 revs. It is much quieter
than the equivalent CF race can on the T509/595/955i series (I had the low
level one). At least the one delivered here (Aluminium wrap) has no 'stamp'
to indicate that it is a non-road legal can. It has a huge 'Triumph' badge
on the outside also. I would be surprised if the bike didn't pass straight
through the road certification (TuV) test with this pipe on - it is
extremely inoffensive, to the point where anyone looking for a 'loud' race
can would be best advised to try a different brand.
Just guessing from 'hand weighing' the original, it saves
about 2-4kg in weight as well.
