exhaust question

i know there's a hundred topics on here similar to this, but here's my quick question!

i'm buying an exhaust for my unfaired Bandit, whats the real noticeable difference between a titanium and stainless can?

other than weight/colour is there any other reason to spend an extra 100 notes on one?

cheers all....

Titainium is cooler Laughing

guess you're right.. they didn't make robocop out of stainless steel now did they?

he probably would have moved quicker if they'd glued a load of carbon bits to him though Wink

Titanium's lighter and stronger than stainless.

It also doesn't corrode as readily, although the stainless shouldn't either if it's good quality.

Don't buy Scorpion Titainium they are shit, My akropovic on the other hand is a work of art.

Scorpion are generally shit, and Akrapovic are generally works of art. Very Happy

yeh i dont like the look of scorpion cans tbh..

can't really afford an akrapovic, even though i love the look/sound of them! plus its hard to find one that'll fit my bike.

i'm going for a viper can, it's in my budget and doesn't look too tarty either. i feel like 'proper looking' after market cans need to look like an akra or similar, or like the original can. anything in between can look a little..... wack, for example....

will i need anything else to fit the thing once it turns up?

the company i bought the exhaust from say i may need a new silencer seal. is this the case?

appreciate your comments, i am a bit of a noob at this sort of thing... Smile

fair play drax, i do like the two nozzle look! just didnt want a blue flame on the exhaust Smile

each to their own, glad it worked out for you though! i heard one of those exhausts on youtube, sounded ripping.....

tidy looking bandit there, what year and how many miles if you dont mind me asking? looks very similar to mine.

Its a B6Y(2000) & it's done 15k.

Hope you find the right exhaust for you m8. Cool

same year as mine! thought it looked similar... i'm a little behind yours at about 12k miles.

here's mine:

bellypan's the main difference i guess.. kinda connects that gap between the downpipes and the front end, looks meaty i reckon Smile

photo actually makes the bellypan colour look weird but in the flesh its spot on?! weird.

cheers mate, stay safe!
