Have you pulled out the spark arrester and are drilling out the holes already in it?
Does it get louder the way you are doing it? or can you drill it out and keep the scilence.

[NordieBoy]

Spark arrester?

It will get louder but not LOUDER.

Ignore me I think I got with other bike.

So guess you'd better post a pick of where you are drilling.

What? You want a pic of his garage?

[Transalper]

oh ha ha.:slap:

[NordieBoy]

You do not want a pic of my gargre.
Or to be more specific, I do not want any pics of my gargre that could be held in evidence against me at a later date.

I will tidy it later, honest

Ryan's does have spark arresters

I did it all scientific like.
Even centre punched the holes for the first time in my life.

Give us the low down on how it goes and sounds Nordie!
If i remember right you have a dynojet kit, so are you running the 155 main or gone up to the 160 now it can breathe easier. Thats heaps better than plumbing up a new can. If you can recommend this as a good mod I will do that instead of plumbing a CBR can onto my DR as I had planned. Wow - it seems so simple (and cheap) in comparrison.

[NordieBoy]

Running the DJ155 with this pipe, the DJ160 with the SuperTrapp.

Goes well but if anyone has a go I'd advise opening the airbox, raising the needle a mm or so and starting with 8mm holes.
11mm is maybe a bit overkill but I have the jetting options to tune to suit.

Good thing is you can threadlock some bolts back in the holes if you don't like the effect

US forestry approved no less.

So why is the hole in the top right closer to the centre of the can than the rest.

Had the can off when I was playing with the shock last weekend - didnt realise how damn heavy the stock can is. The worst bit, most of the weight is near the back of the can. I think I read somewhere that they are about 8kgs and after feeling how heavy it is I dont doubt it.

Cheers R

[NordieBoy]

Ha!
Ours is only 5.5kg

If you look more carefully, they made the centre pipe just a little offset to the top-right.
Not my fault at all, no sirreee

[NordieBoy]

Thought I'd put this one up.
From the Dusty Butt Part I - On the Molesworth 35km from Hamner.

[clint640]

That's a cool shot Fran! Have you submitted it for the calendar?

It's amazing how much weight gets packed into stock exhausts, I shaved off over 2kg going to an SXC can on the 640.

Cheers
