Hi lads,

I will advice an opinion on the exhaust system. The end can is damaged it is a after market stuff.
I have seen a guy which make exhaust and he told me it can't be weld it is aluminium.

So he told me the best might be contact the maker and see. I contacted the maker in Japan there is no part available anymore, I also went to the local breaker but he did not have any can to go on it.
He said to me as soon as a race can come in the staff is buying it.

So He told me try ebay, so I look on ebay but I don't really have a clue what I am after, the exhaust man told me any can should do really, just get a slip on one and with rivet if possible.

What do you reckon ? My exhaust is not original it is a 4 in 1. Which kind of can could I but on?

If you have other idea I am open too.

Cheers
Arnaud

Got any pics of te exhaust that you have fitted?
yahoo japan auctions is a good source of parts...

I will make a picture of that end can tonight.
I was looking on ebay last night try to find a standard can.

Do you know if a sandard exhaust of sv650 will fit ?
I don't want to have to rejet or anything like that to be honest.

Maybe it will run better with a standard exhaust.

Pipe was sold to Mark not sure where his bike is now.
Standard systems appear on eblag but looking at £180-200. As Mick says the best bet is an Impulse 400 4-1 which is a straight fit.

Can I not just found a end can like scorpion slip on or so on? and fit it in?
I don't have a standard exhaust I have a 4 in 1 already the problem is the end can, is too noisy for me.

I will contact fossie and see if there is something in the club.
I will post picture tonight.

Arnaud, you can always put a baffle in it. Mine was really noisy so i put one of these in it:

There are loads of different ones available. Search ebay with exhaust baffle.

Put some wadding round it and it will quiet it down really well. I have some wadding if you need it.

Pete

That sounds like the stuff I need a it is cheap

Pete, what is the wadding ? it is like exhaust paste type of?

Its like a rough matting. bit like insulation in your loft.

i have loads left when i done mine.

If you buy a baffle make sure it will fit.

Hi Pete,
Thanks a million for that, I am on the case this afternoon.
For the wadding, I have a dummy question :
- Does the wadding goes around the baffle?
- Do you need to open the end can and changing the existing wadding?
- Or Both ?

Cheers
Arnaud

Watcha Arnaud, yeah the wadding goes round the baffle and you keep it in place with some wire. Not sure what you have in your end can. Mine was just a big hole !! i just wrapped a load of wadding round one of those baffles and ram the bugger in have you a big hole !!!!! can you even open the end ?

Cheers

Pete
