| Hello,
Im looking to get either a R 55 stainless steel or carbon end exhaust for my new K8 Black Gix 750.
I have spoken to a guy in West London Suzuki, he said that the carbon ended one was not recommended as the carbon end breaks off a little.
Not seeing this and not knowing anybody who had these cans I can't comment.
Im not sure of the technicalities of getting a full system for my bike. Obviously it would be 'race only' as it would also with ust the end can. Also I guess as I would be increasing my BHP my insurance would be invalid too (I guess it would be as its not a road legal can).
I know that I would need a new air filter and remapping which is pretty standard for a full system.
If I get the full system is this something that garages would be interested in fitting or is it something I would usually do myself (from the question you may see that I am not as experienced in the fitting area for this).
So it would change my BHP, what would it do to the noise? Would I still be able to do a track day? One last question, if I wanted to get a MOT after 3 years, with a slip on I could replace the end can, the CAT will be removed right and there would be nothing to add to the bike to make it a MOT pass?
Sorry for the barrage of questions but it seems getting a full system from the States is the same as buying the end can from the UK.
Thanks
Alex

| My Akropovic end can is titanium and carbon and the carbon is fine after 16,000 miles. Any bike shop should be able to fit a can for you but if you wanted a full system plus power commander fitted with a custom map then you'd need to find a shop that had a dyno.
This is it ? Yep, that's it. What happened to the rest ?

Cheers for that!
Yes carbon is the best choice I think.
So how about the MOT part? If I have a full system. How would I pass an MOT after 3 years? (new bike).

My Akro is E marked and came with a small removable baffle so I'll pop it in for the MoT. I've only got an end can though, not a full system.
