Exhaust can material / temperature

[Nick_Giles]

.
Hi

I am soon to purchase a new exhaust can for my 2001 Hornet.

The Hornet has a high level exhaust and the OEM one has an additional heat shield layer over the can. Aftermarket ones don't.!

I would imagine that a standard stainless one may get quite hot and perhaps cause problems for a pillions leg.?

Does one made of carbon fiber radiate as much heat as a stainless one.? (been told it does not)


Cheers, Nick

Carbon can on my bike just gets a bit warm. Much cooler than a heat shield from an OEM pipe.
