Carbon Yamaha R1 can should do the trick. If you are pre-SVA you might need a cat, depending on engine age.

Get the biggest one you can find! I had this on my 2l pinto its about 5" dia and was VERY LOUD, it didn't stay on for long even after
repacking it didn't make much difference.

Do carbon ones come standard? I just want something cheap that will make it sound good and not be too restrctive.
Plus it wont be seen as itll be hidden in the bodywork so not bother about how it looks

i think the carbon ones were standard up to a time (1998 maybe?) when they became titanium.
I got a carbon one off ebay, buy it now, for £25 plus about £12 posting. its clearly 2nd hand  a few scuffs here and there, but looks good

the carbon ones also have the benefit of the outside running a lot cooler than a metal can, cool enough to hold even after a long run. I have one on
the falcon and it’s actually too quite for my liking despite being marked (for a bike) not for road use
