Got a carbon can on already, yes. However it's not shiny and red, and is sapping power (apparently).

You HAVE to get a race can. I put an ART race can on my cbr400, wow, it sounds about 20 times better. Loud with a nice rasp, growl to it. Hard to explain, but trust me you will not regret it.

Stock cans, are laughable in comparison.

If you put a race can on, you will need to get it re-jetted or at least set-up on the dyno to see if it needs the extra fueling. Mine is to be done soon...

Oh yer and they look nicer, but i care more for the sound Very Happy

.

Check whether yours is slip-on or bolt-on fitment, before buying.

Do you ring up the police and tell them the route you're going to be go for a ride first as well claud? Razz

(jk, btw... I was just as bad on the zx6)

Are you sure the can will fit onto your full system john?

Ah right, the Scorpion can on my vfr sounds well. The backfires in French tunnels on the weekend were very nice, didn't need my headlights Very Happy

I'm not sure yet, I haven't bidded though.

I was hoping everyone would say it was rubbish so I wouldn't need to spend any money. Razz

Indeed the loudness can be an issue.... last night at 2am my Dad could hear me doing a burnout at some traffic lights 1/2 mile away, oops! Laughing

I recon that genrally that anyone with a sporty machine (be that car or bike) tends to be in favour of a loud(er) sounding machine.

I mean all this business of tuning, styling, and the other asthetics as you mentioned is all the modificating of a machine to be similar to proper racing machines. This may explain why sports bike riders would want a loud exhaust. If you know what i mean.

The issue of loud exhausts on cruisers, jeeze you can get some loud cruisers!!! It depends on what you want from a bike i suppose. Some people may want a suble machine, some dont. Cruisers suck anyway Laughing

.

I dont mind either loud bikes or cars, and i think some people, the objectors should realise that is just a bit of fun. Is that the end of the world?

This may sound like an unjust justification for loud cans, but i have definitely noticed that car driver notice a loud bike sooner, which can only be a good thing.

Sorry to drag on, but anyone that cains a bike in town is not very responcible anyway. In town i keep the revs down (most of the time) Wink

. But i have so say, a degree of consideration is neccesary. But this degree of consideration can "make" a good rider. It shouldn't need to be flat out all the time...

I'll shut up now, gotta ride out to the gym.

To get back to that specific can though - I had exactly the same one, colour n all. Dirt cheap, looks fine and good sound. Cheap is good - it's best for track days when you might bin it (the reason I now have the original can on again....need to get another cheapie race can).
