Posted: 16:56 - 12 Mar 2014 Post subject: Shiny New Exhaust (picture heavy) |
|
|
The Thundercat had a full Micron system, however the can was a bit battered, and the system not really producing any sound. I finally decided to part with the money for a new can!
First of all, it was off with the original can, and to measure the link pipe size.

64mm. Pretty big. There weren't really many cans to choose from here. I browsed the t'cat forums, and found that several people were using the Delkevic cans and liking them. So I phoned Delkevic yesterday, took some measurements from them, and this arrived today at lunch time:

So, off with the fairing, off with the link pipe, and ready to get working:

The exhaust comes with a baffle:

But the design must have been poor, because it fell out straight away:

All together:

It has a much nicer sound than the previous Micron. A nice deep sound, but it isn't ridiculously loud. I'm very happy with the purchase ____________________ 2004 R1 & 2018 XSR900

I love the bike. Sure, it's not the fastest, but it's really smooth and really comfy. My plans for the bike are mainly commuting & touring. I'm hoping for an extended trip to Europe next year
I had -1 on the front previously, I think, but I put it back to stock gearing when fitting the new C&S. I didn't even realise until I compared the two front sprockets.
I'll see if I can convince my housemate to fly-by the can. ____________________ 2004 R1 & 2018 XSR900 |

I'm thinking about getting one for mine. Don't if I should get the full length or the stubby.
But should I get one is another question. There is always the excuse that car drivers hear you better with a loud exhaust. ____________________ yzf 600r |

Thanks for sharing, I need a new exhaust on my T'Cat as the banding around it (unknown brand carbon looking thing) has started to fall apart.
Mind sharing the price?

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 10 years, 11 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
