In terms of performance the shape is purely cosmetic.
There's more clearance for the bags and mounting hardware with the round 
cans but the ovals do fit. Barely.
TBR say all the pipes sound the same but in comparison to the C2 can I heard 
my C5 has a lower rumble.

It'll run with the stock tune but really benefits from the performance tune.
You'll have to have the CO level reset anyway so you may as well have the 
tune uploaded at the same time.

It's straight forward.
Just undo two bolts to release the stock can, hook the new can and 
intermediate pipe together with the springs supplied and bolt it on taking 
some time to get the alignment right and ensuring that the can doesn't touch 
the wheel, bag brackets or rear footrest hanger.
