Carbon repair sleeves

I'm currious if anyone has ever tried these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Moto...1%7C240%3A1318

I've got some minor damage to my left micron. Called Micron and they wanted $200 for a replacemen sleeve. So I started looking around and found these. This link is actually to Yoshi triovals, but I sent them a PM asking about round sleeves. They said no problem, just send dimensions.

Thoughts?

Well they have no feedback...but if they're for real it seems like a fair price. Pretty cool they'll make any sleeve for $75.

It makes me wonder that the guy/company has had an ebay account for over 3 years and has no feedback. Let us know how it works out for you if you do it.

So I guess next time I will not bother how to tell you how to repair something.

Zmaniv - the suggestions on how to repair were appreciated and factored in. There certainly are several ways to go about this, from twisting the sleeve 15 degrees so the damage is totally invisible (done!), to a patch, to an aftermarket sleeve , to Micron's own replacement.
Your suggestion and info is what led me to investigate the possibilities to begin with. Since I did search the forum first and found some threads where people suggested CF cans might not be the most durable for our bikes AND I can tell from looking around it seems that a good number of members have CF cans, I thought sharing what I found and asking opinions might be beneficial to all.
If someone can make a dented exhaust look new for $150 - might be interesting. Or might be to good to be true...
