After market cans?

Thanks for the good idea, Deano!

Yes, but they're not aftermarket, just vandalised.
Damned vandals, like those ones that crept into my garage one night, and drilled the baffle out of my VFRs muffler....

bugger, there's always an option someone forgets to cover...

Might as well regard as aftermarket FS - they were modified 'after' release onto the 'market'.

I'll attempt to put up a good (if not biased) argument for just about anything.

i'd fit a full aftermarket race system if i had the money to burn, lighter, smaller & more power.
I sure can notice the quietness of a stock system on my gix compared to a certain other gix with full race system. the mrs can't hear me coming from a couple miles away anymore. I said to a neighbour I was into bikes & he said "I know I've heard You".

I think they'll need a "Work in Progress" or "Prototype" category, as I'm not sure I'm quite done with them yet....

I have 11 motorcycles at the present time - one after market can (Supertrapp) on the XT400,on the XLV750 my own system (try buying one of those) but also silencers of my own manufacter,XS1 has aftermarket mufflers,spiked but similar noise to stock,PW50 has my system,namely a couple of lawn mower mufflers end to end,KT250 has original muffler with my own baffle,SL125 has an aftermarket job,similar noise to stock,TLR200 is stock and whisper quiet (fails noise test) TT225 has stock system but I will build my own muffler onto stuffed original system.All the rest (3) are stock.

So,where do I fit in that poll???

Are you busy fitting a solenoid that opens and shuts an exhaust type silencing valve, or are they simply not loud enough yet.

Baffle??????????? whats a baffle

**Kwaka-Kid** · 29th July 2004, 13:57

where do i start? the second i get a bike with a stock can it gets hacksawed off and i go out to the shed and find something that fits! just finished building a carbon fibre baby for my little 400, 55mm straight thru is a bit much, 44mm is where it should be at (std exit hole is about 25mm!) so shes pretty loud and i think i could be loosing out on much needed back-pressure. but none the less it sounds the mutts and looks even better!

I think the ploogs need another trim, and while they're out I might monkey around with the internals (or is that 'infernals'?) If only I had a dremel tool or the like...
I do have a crowbar, for fine tweaking....

Neptunes for both my Ducs, and also on Hamish's GS1200SS. Remus on his R1100S.

Aaaahhhh!!!! I thought this sort of stuff was debunked in the 70s,do a little reshearch on exhaust theory - more noise is not faster,back pressure causes shit to come out your mouth.Pick up some new power bands at Whitcoulls on your way home.

**Kwaka-Kid** · 30th July 2004, 13:16

huh? im not saying its going faster - the opposite, generally i thought you needed to maintain approx 300 ft per sec gas flow speed, and i think with my exhaust being so free flowing its not getting there.
also lack of backpressure i was taught creates the valves to heat up and you ca burn them or something along those lines - its the pressure of the gas that takes the heat away from them right?
