Has anyone heard anything about Carbon can's?

Carbon fibre is a better material than most metals and should last a long time... I can save you some money on whatever you want so pm me for a quote once you decide what you want.

Just be aware. CF can HAVE been known to scorch and turn a burned brown color.

i have a carbon can, 2 actually, on a devil shotgun system. sounds AWESOME and never had problems. They just point out to not Overtighten the rings for the hanger. Coolest part is, you can ride for hours, and grab them and not get burnt. Saves burns on the girls leg :)

I used to have an M4 c/f can on my F4i before I totaled it. I loved the sound and the look. I never had a problem with it until an old ass man in a big ass car pulled out in front of me. The can didn't crumble, but one of the hanger bolts punched a nice hole through it.
