Quill
Just in case any of the original enquirers are still looking, I've just fitted a Quill can and Motad downpipes. The pipes went straight on, with no lining up problems at all. The can was a bit trickier and I had to mess around with the bracket to get it to line up, but it went on OK in the end. Sounds great and not too noisy. Seems to rev easier too, with no carb adjustments needed.
This is how it looks. I've also saved about 4kgs in weight - an added bonus.

I have a marving SS silencer but recently bought a stubby titanium blueflame and what a difference it has made to performance of the XT.

OMG

I just fitted the quill, it said t3 on it though. Is it supposed to be so open? I could see through it..

About the sound.. geez its the most awesome thing ive ever heard, its so extremely deep.. On idle it sounds like theres a air cannon behind you..not too loud on idle but incredibly extremely deep and nice sound, like a harley..

When you give gas its more sound actually a bit loud..louder then i would have thought..but i think ts strange that i could see through the whole thing. Is this thing really street legal?

Sounded like it was more soothing sound when just cruising at a fixed rpm though, im gona have to test it more i havent tested it at 80km yet.

Did yours have something in the end of it or is it open?
No wonder it has a deep sound haha..ouch, at 80km/h below 4000rpm its like a loud harley davidson, not to mention below 3000rpm.
I noticed mine is completely open, i can see straight through it, it looks a bit suspicious, i would think some kind of insert at the end was supposed to be there hmm.

In aftermarket exhausts, this is quite ordinary. the sound waves expand through the fiberglass packing in the sides, which absorbs a lot of it, and smooths out the sound IMMENSELY. dont believe it run your bike for a second without a muffler, then tell me how it sounds. actually dont, the short tract could easily pull cold air back and damage an exhaust valve or two.
