Need a Can Man

**Maha** · 30th June 2008, 17:31

Been having a look at some related threads and found this.

''Yoshi - do a nice Zook Pipe
2 Bros - nice sound - quality is sus (Had on VTR)
Arrows - nice pipe but pricey
Akrapovic - sexiest kit around - hellishly pricey tho
Micron - bloody good pipe for the money (had on my R1 - nice sound too)
Scorpian - nice lower end pipes - good sound
Neptune - good pipes.''

The CB1300 needs a new Can and my first thought was Akropovic/Yoshi/Micron. No I dont need the three, just one.
Had a Neptune on the Triumph, and it sounded great but, there are shit loads to choose from and would it be correct that the Akrapovic would be the right choice?

yoshi tri-oval would be my pick. maybe a remus - had those on the busa and sounded great. staintune sound awesome on a vfr - worth a look?

Indeed, they do look sweet Mr Rua. Where could I find a Campbells?
But it wouldn't take much to outdo the giant tampon that is my existing can.

best thing would find a cb1300 forum, and see what there pic of pipes are.

Looking to sell my 955 S3 but dont know if i wanna lose the carbon can on it !
Looks like a good thread to get a few ideas (sorry for jumping on ya thread Maha)
Anyone know if the 955 3 into 1 would bolt on to the 1050 ? (could unbolt everything and try it but sooo much easier to type)
Started the 955 tonight (aint been going for a month or so and its off to the shop morra need the brand new tyre lol) and it just sounds so much better than the 1050s twin stock set up ! Picking it will up performance a bit too as the standard 1050 3 into 1 into 2 is such a heat trap they had to use a cast collection box !

Sounds like you have a hard time justifying the price tag on the arrow system as well.

anywho, back on track..

As I said in the other thread the old ladys CB has the Leo Vince can on it and that has a bloody nice sound to it especially when you remove the baffels. Out of your list I would be inclined to go with the Microns, good sound and probally the best value for money (although dont qoute me on that)

Akrapovic's are dear for a reason & that been they are used by SBK bikes & GP bikes not to hard to figure out why . If money is the trouble then any of the rest will still be a great pipe

That's a pretty good looking can but a $1000 bucks is starting to get cracking along price wise, paid $830 for my Arrow on the FZ1 (including a hideously expensive connector pipe) and i'm really happy with it.

Maha, you probably ahve seen this but just in case you haven't... clicky...

Off with the new and on with the NEWER!!!

Just fitted the new gleaming oval thing to the Honda.
I beleive this is the first ever Neptune fitted to a CB1300.
Huge thanks to Mark at Neptune, once again you have done an awesome job mate. It sounds fucken sweet and deep.....

Oh, and the little extra bit you sent?...guess I will need that at some stage, in about 5 months...

Here are the before and after pics.
