New Can

I got this ‘Carbon Can’ from the NEC bike show. They only wanted £120 including the link pipe so it is by far the cheapest road legal new can I have found.

My bike not being as powerful as sports bikes would never really show a great power boost, even if I had gone for a sexy blue flame at twice the price.

I stuck with the oval theme, and got the stainless steel one. So it is very similar to the original pipe. The guide is I should get about 4bhp more with the baffle in. With only a small increase with the baffle out.

I deliberatly left the carbon can sticker off. It is not a head turning bike, and I guess I should maintain the subtle changes to avoid unwanted attention.

This is the before/original can.

And the after.

I made a short video clip collage where I tried to get the sound difference. Not the best quality as it is mobile phone footage and it is in .3gp format so you may need to d/load new codecs/players to see it.

Hey, looks nice GOF ! You will be heard now mate, that’s the most important thing. Looks like that pipe link you got will change colour when it gets hot enough

hehe, thats half the fun!

thanks mate

Looks a lot better mate, sound clip was kind of distorted so couldn’t really tell what it sounded like. Is it a massive difference?

it is a deeper sound, especially low down the rev range… I really need that baffle out, heh
