Hi People,

A mate is looking for a race can for a VFR400. We have seen a twin carbon fibre shotgun style exhaust on a feature bike in a bike mag but dont know what make it is.

Any ideas? Thanks

Not sure exactly what you mean as exhaust systems for the nc30 are as rare as rocking horse poo. but if its just an end can its probably a blue flame exhaust, check out there site

Devil exhausts do them like you describe. Don't know if they do them for the NCs.

Google will provide results, I'm sure.

Twin stack systems are only available from japan now and have to be imported.
They are about £300 + import IF you can find one!.

Otherwise most race can's will fit if you get an adapter.

The cans on RVFs and NC30s are different. NC30s are slip-ons, some which require either hack-sawing the original, or a clamp, RVF cans are bolt ons.

They're not too rare for either, most of the regular companies make suitable cans - Art, Scorpion, Micron, Blueflame, etc.

If it's a twin stack setup your after, good luck! It's not just a can, it'll be either a half or full exhaust system. You can only get hold of those if you import from Japan (Ethos, Moriwaki and Yamato do them, I think). They start at £520 but you'll have to fork out for the delivery and any import customs. How good's your Japanese? https://www.ethos-design.info/ethos_road_parts/ethos_road_parts_fs.html

The only other available avenue would be breakers yards or Japanese bike importers - they may get rid of such systems to turn import bikes into standard condition, to make them more sellable.

You'll also have to rejet your carbs of course.

Never seen any 'shotgun' style exhausts on the VFR/RVF400 but I have on the VFR/RVF750's.
I believe the old Castrol RC45 had 'shotgun' style exhausts before the high levels.

Wouldn't it be possible to get something made up? A couple of slimmish cans and a couple of lengths of pipe. As Craig just said, the NC30's exhausts are slip-ons so shouldn't be much hassle.

Moriwaki make twin stack systems for the rvf, i don't know if it's the same fitment for the vfr. Another make also do an outlet either side verion, you will need to keep you eye out on japan ebay..

You could get one made; 2 slim cans @ £150 each then £100 worth of pipe bending would resulting in a nice twn stack, but £400 is a hell of alot to be spending on an exhaust for a 400 if you ask me.

Ive got a Blueflame duel port on my RVF and it sounds lovely Twisted Evil

, quite a few people on here have heard it Thumbs Up

£400 is nothing for an exhaust system i believe. People pay over £1000 for a full yosh system etc. Having a system which allows the bike to breathe correctly can make a difference. I'm personally having a race system built for my RVF to fit my blueflame, £515 Thumbs Up

Cannie wait Twisted Evil

£400 for an exhaust system? Where?

Your looking at anywhere from 250-400 for a single can race half/fullsystem second hand. I was lucky to pick up a half ethos stainless steel system for 195 Cool

This is the type of system your after and they go from around 300-500 second hand https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/rs125/rebuiltrvf008Small.jpg

If your very lucky you might be able to find one in the uk but 90% of them are abroad and any that are over here get snapped up bloody quickly.

Only a few companies still make them new, most notably mhp exhaust's who make them in shotgun (around 550-600) and sp2 style (720)

Im gonna get one of their systems at some point next year along with a carbon fibre petrol tank and rs250 rear shock.

Have the urge to sell it give me first refusal mate Smile

would be another tick to my rapidly shrinking list of possible modifications!

lol, this is turning out to be a 400gb revival. Hey, those MHP pics were originally emailed to me Wink

Still gotta love those twin stacks Davers, I know of an exhaust can maker now, if you wanted me to email over his details?

dave1rs · Trackday Trickster Joined: 03 Dec 2004 Karma :

thanks for the offer craig,but i already have his details.....got someone interested in copying the whole system for me for free if i let them use my pipework to design theirs from.

Cool, is that that German guy? Would be good to see what he makes of the system. Thumbs Up

I was hard pushed to decide between MHP, Mercury and a Jap. Import - they all came down to a similar price as well (wasn't expecting to pay any less than around £600 new) - still like the look of the twin stack that they make Razz
