Wtf are cans?

[Kam]

Self explanitory question. Ive heard loads of talk of them, googled 'motorbike cans' but only got shops, none with an explanation of what they do to the bike. Also! Is there anyone that sells CG cans (I know, its ludicrous) Its just mine came with no exaust, just a strangely shiny blunderbus on the side.

The back bit of the exhaust, shaped like a giant baked bean can.

All the best

Also, I'd like to ask, what effect do can's have on a bike?

[Kam]

Yeh i know what they look like my fault really, should have asked what they acctually did to the performance of the bike. Thx anyway

Hi

Not really that much effect. Most stock exhaust cans are pretty good, so you tend to only get a small increase in power, and often a large increase in noise.

All the best

See, I'd buy one just to make the bike louder.

[andy03_]

does an end can by itself actually hav any effect on the speed of the bike without a full system tho?

[G]

Depends on the state of the bike - can make it faster, slower or make no difference.

As with a full system, it's best to get jetting sorted anyway.

I doubt very much (and stand to be corrected) that many people buy an end can for performance purposes. More like more noise and if they are honest its the BLING factor and for the name. Why buy a Micron when you can have a akrapovic or Yoshi. It's like choosing between George and Fila.

Afraid there's no custom can for the CG...

There's a MOTAD aftermarket system, but I think it's just a stainless steel version of the CG system (Better!)

You can't replace the 'can' as such, as it's welded to the downpipes (The long tube that connects to the can that runs from the exhaust manifold on the cylinder head, ie; to the right of your spark plug).

From what I can see on my exhaust, it seems the giant 'trumpet' is basically a 'cover' for what it a little hosepipe exhaust, I imagine smashing a spike down it would make the bike a bit more growly, but I'd check the jetting afterwards.

lol kk Toby, guess ill just have to live with it.
