Basically, im looking for a brand new end can to replace my nicely squashed standard can on my CBR125!

Im not asking for a major performance difference, just a nice sounding, good quality can.

Ive got a few choices, just want to see what people reccommend.

1. Scorpion
2. Remus- Grand Prix Removable baffle
3. Micron
4. Carbon Can Co.

And also wheres the best place to purchase 1 of the above?

CBR125 was the best selling bike of 2005. Laughing

Forget all the fancy names and horrific price tags, Endurance is the nicest sounding cbr125 can/system i've heard yet. Cheaper than the others too.

[email protected] will egt you one, or the bloke above.

Do micron even make a full system?

The Endurance system is a straight through system with no collectors or anything in the downpipe, the micron can't be louder as it's just a can.

How many full endurance systems have you heard?

@Urban Racer, Why should I clean it when I was selling it Rolling Eyes

@www.125power.com, Microns? Laughing I couldn't really hear this guys Micron exhaust over mines. Most Biek companies agread that my exhaust was much louder than any off the other pipes.

erm......... so you get more money for it and it sells quicker.

imagine this, you're going to look at 2 bikes. one is absoloutly spotless and the owner tells you he has looked after it and kept it well maintained. you go to see another bike same kind, age and price it looks like yours (rusty, covered in brake dust and dirty oil), the the owner says the same. "its been well maintained, honest!" err..... yea right mate.
what bike would you buy?

Just the one posted for this particular bike....micron do make a full system but retail it as 2 seperate parts, they make Zeta Race Pipes for the cbr125r wich are completely hydro-formed so theres few weld's on them, its high level pipe work too so your can will be just below the pillion seat. Also the front part of the pipe work has very little effect on the overall sound of the bike from any system....

The microns are quiet as standard but when completely debaffled properly they are quite loud. A lot of people only remove the skinny pipe in the end of the silencer they dont actually take the can apart and address the inside of it too, making it 100% straight through

So, that brand spanking new can i've just got, to make it have any sort of volume, i have to take it apart?!?! And fiddle with the insides.....Or i could buy the one hell of a lot cheaper, just as good quality (if not better) and louder (from my experience) Endurance system and i wont have to go stripping the can down.

Also, i'm quite intrigued, what do i have to do to the inside of the can once i've stripped it down?

Scorpion are good in that they seem to be E-marked even if the baffle is out. Although a copper with any sense will know better, at least you can plead ignorance.

I've not heard one on a CBR125r however.

www.cansrus.co.uk are very competetive price wise, and service was good when I bought mine from them.

Power increase from micron claimed to be about 1.3bhp with just the end-can iirc.

The way the baffle is fitted, if you try to remove it from out side the can (through the actuall end of the can) you wont remove it all, if you undo the allen nut on the end of the can and then remove it from the inner side of the end cap, then you can also remove the surrounding fixtures that the baffle was attatched to. The result of this is a completely straight through can......
Dont like it dont do it, it was only a suggestion, i mean why ask for opinions just to have a go???
I think a micron looks better than any of the cans i have seen for a cbr125r but that's my opinion, it doesnt mean you have to like them, does it?
I like the way the micron's look and sound and that's my choice not yours so why worry about it?

My friend has a micron on his and there is a rubber seal on it close to where it joins to the manifold which has a blow out. He was told this happens on a lot of microns and since he scratched it up he cant get it fixed.

EDIT: It's a full system and is loud.

@Urban_Racer, the Image that was posted off the Exhaust viewing was about a month ago. I tired editing the pic to remove the date but wasn't happening.

However, when I took it down to get a quote, I did clean the bike for about a couple of hours. I am not that thick.
