What to do with a standard can

**gaagaa** · 7th February 2008, 21:19

Hi guys and girls, I have a 94' RF900 with the standard Suzuki exhaust can. I want to get something a bit more sexy sounding, but am hampered as most people would appreciate by a lack of funds.

So the question is, what can be done to a standard can to make it a bit better sounding, some mate have said get a big f**kin drill and make a hole straight through the baffles! Will this do the trick, has anyone got a race can going cheap??

Please help, all my past bikes have had great sounding cans (the last being a Yoshimura) and I miss the noise

.

Cheers

Yeah a drill bit'll do the trick,if it dont sound right make more holes...

what's the attachment style? slip-on, 3 or 4 bolt?

If it uses suzuki's 4 bolt flange, then this should fit

Nothing! Keep it for when it has to go for a warrant. Buy an after-market one to make noise and attract cops

It's one of the three stub jobbies, so something that just bolts on would be nice. Have asked all the wreckers in Auckland if they have any, even if they are a bit dented or scratched. Apparently rocking horse sh*t is easier to come by.

Cheers for that MSTRS, but they are still the standard cans. I want something with a bit
more vroooooom in the sound

I know, but that leaves you one to gut and one to leave standard should that be necessary for a wof...
Mine runs a Yoshi, but with all the talk of noise and emissions laws being tightened lately I bought a used standard can off TM (for $27) to put away just in case.

My standard cans have been modded for a better tone, but still pass warrant.
Ther's full details on www.xjroc.com , but basically, you drill round the small pipe, pull it out from the baffles, and fit and end plate.
This negates the internal baffles, gives a deeper tone, but without boy racer bean can volume.
I'll get you more details if you PM me.

Gidday Gaagaa,
Give Warren a call at Virgin Mufflers on 021 035-2218

You can re-core the standard can for around $250.00 ~ 300.00 - the noise level is up to you, discuss it with Warren at the time of enquiry...

The bike will remain legal for all but the most pedantic of W.O.F inspectors...

Cheers
