What can?

I've not had my bike that long - but i'm noticing that as standard, the bike is far too quiet. I do a lot of filtering, do everything I can to make myself known on the road (by what I wear and my defensive riding), but would like a louder can, to help make that little bit more of a difference.

I'd like something loud (and legal Wink

), but also aesthetically pleasing.

I love the look of the blueflame range https://www.blueflameperformance.com/bike/evo_race_cans.asp (especially the dual port and evo ranges), but would be open to the idea of a yoshimura or akrapovic. Only want a slip on, not a system, and my budget is approximately £250-£300.

Any recommendations?

Loud is ok for bimbling about but on longer runs its just an annoying drone that will give you a headache. So be careful what you get as some are just going to spoil the bikes sound.

I had a scorpion on my GSXR, wasn't too loud, but had quite a monotonous, droning tone to it - wouldn't mind something a bit raspier, something that sounds nice at full chat! Very Happy

I had a Blue flame Evo & TBH it wasn't very loud, same with Akrapovics. Currently got a Mivv GP racing can on, the sound is good quality, seems to get attention at bike meets & at £200 new, can't go wrong. Smile

They're both nice looking cans tho.

Oh yea, it's bloody loud but it's e-marked too.

See the connection from the can to the manifold pipes, does that usually come with the can, as I've seen quite a few 2nd hand cans but without any connector pipes.

Unless you are going to get deafening straight through pipes don't bother - most accidents are from headon where the majority of the sound increase won't be...
