CANS for VTR1000?

**Bulldog** · 23rd January 2006, 13:57

Howdy everyone,

I'm looking at getting some cans for my VTR1000 and wanted some feedback on what to get. I'd really like to get some carbon fibre ones purely on the look (yellow vtr) although I've heard the titanium ones are better / lighter?

My bike has been dyno jetted and currently runs the standard cans which have been debaffled.

Any feedback much appreciated.

ive got a mate who just put a set of arrow cans on his SV they sound really nice,also i would look at neptune as they have been getting really good raps all over plus they are made in nz.

Two Brothers have always sounded good on VTR's.
Check out www.parts411.com. They've got some pretty good deals on all brands.

Hey Devil how was your head on Saturday? Shady? And the coro loop? CBTA course was great, more like an enjoyable ride than a course.

I was a bit borderline when I woke up! Headed out anyway and had a fun day. Need new tyres though!

Now I guess you've just got to wait for your exemption certificate to turn up. mine took nearly two weeks!

support new zealand brands and have a look at Neptune pipes. Every one raves about them and they are good quality etc

I can't vouch for it personally, but I have been told (back when I had a VTR) not to get CF cans, as they don't stand up to the vibes from the V2's zorst pulses too well. Metal cans are better for longevity.
Personally, I hate 2-bros cans (too tinny, dubious quality) - I'd go for anything else (Neptune, Staintune, Micron, Scorpion, Remus), but it's up to you to buy what looks nicest and suits your budget. Dunno who sells what in D'Auckland, but Kerry at Motohaus can sell you some nice cans at a good price (I think he sells Scorpions).
Another alternative is to get Coby in Hamilton to recore the standard cans with standard perforated baffle tube, so they are straight-though. I've heard good things about this being done, although you'll still have the standard look and most of the weight (not necessarily a bad thing, as the OEM cans are very strong - sideswiped a car once and not a mark on the can.)

neighbour has remus pipes on his, and its fucking loud. Said he got a bit of a performance gain, but he's got the dynajet kit and K&N filters aswell, which would have helped.

Too put it bluntly, i might be buying his bike later in the year
