Good sounding cans for Hornet 900?

**Ol'Biker** · 22nd February 2011, 21:27

Does anyone have a set of good cans that sounds good/throaty for my Hornet 900 that does not need re-jetting, at reasonable price? The originals are too quite for comfort....

I have a set that Custom Chambers made up (East Tamaki). Specc'd so that the heat shields go back on afterwards, making it look very stock, but a little louder.

I've got some scorpion ones on mine (installed by a previous owner). They've got removable baffles so at a pinch you can make them louder or quieter depending on your preference. They sound mean.

I did a test ride on a hornet 900 with twin remus cans that sounded awesome.

I had these on mine; http://www.emoto.co.nz/GPRslipons01-01-450.jpg

Met the requirements well and the carbon fibre ones definitely looked good, gave it much sportier look than the brushes aluminium/steel whathaveyou look.

Came with the bike so I could'nt tell you what they cost.

Don't mind me, I'm just popping in for a looky (someone mentioned Hornets ...)

Goblins Hornet has a Two Brothers 4-1 sound pretty good and saves more weight.

Cheaper too, I would imagine.

Take a 50mm hole saw to the plate on the back of your standard mufflers. Once it's through, smack the little pipe in the middle with a hammer quite hard and then pull them out.

Costs nothing, and they sound bloody great without being too loud.

If noise isn't a primary concern and ya know someone handy with a welder, this is what I did to mine.

I'm running Yoshimura tri-ovals on mine - love em - I imported them from the USA.

Unless you are purchasing from Custom chambers, Neptune or the Welly one I forget buy ex USA and save a fortune. Or England.

Here's is a few links for you, add shipping (if USA around US$100).

www.starcycle-usa.com search for Honda 919 several options here.

www.blueflameperformance.com I have seen a set of these on another ride and they are nice pipes.

Value for $ and reviewing well in the USA for the Hornet (AKA 919).
Search for Delkevic - they will be listed on ebay - seriously cheap but the real thing from reports I've read.

Or you can do a Bafflectomy on your stock pipes - I did mine before my Yoshis and it is very successful at releasing a bit of noise and cost bugger all. It involves taking a hole-saw to the end of your muffler and removing the pathetic little outlet. If you are interested in this let me know and I'll dig up some images.

Give Damon a call he'll design your style or sell you a set that look standard (ie, covers etc) but are no way standard inside

I'm on my 2nd Hornet and 2nd set of Cycleworks mufflers. About $600 or so - why the f&ck would you pay $1400??!!!!!

That's an interesting "pattern" on your clutch case Drew . . .

THis is what Damon at Cycleworks did for my sons Nija 250 - AWESOME!! You should see how he built the muffler between the headers and the engine block - the man's a genius. Imagine something like this out the side of the Hornet . . .
