Thinking of asking Santa for a exhaust can ...any views which is best for fit ,sound ,and above all quality? Beowolf..blackwidow..etc :roll:

Posted

What bike is it going to be used on?

I have Black Widow on my ZRX and Full Akrapovic on my busa and happy with both but aware there is a huge price difference.

I had the same decision to make earlier this year.. the choices are huge and quite bewildering. price differences too.


In the end one aspect swung it for me and that was long term maintenance. A lot of exhaust cans have to be repacked, some more frequently than others . Some manufacturers say you must do this to keep the warranty going. Or, you can just stick it on and forget about it, which is what a lot of people do.


I went for a Scorpion in the end because it was about mid-range in price. never needs repacking. And is made fairly local to me in Derbyshire. cans for you bike vary in price from £229 to £379 RRP oval or round. Carbon. Stainless or Titanium. https://tinyurl.com/ss499lj And are beautifully made.


With some fairly significant savings going on right now.

Maybe , just check the colour of the plugs before you put the can on , then change the can if they are the same colour after a good run ,and you were happy with the way the bike was running beforehand you should be alright

I took my stock can off the other day and started the bike. Didn't sound much louder at all - 90% of the sound deadening is done in the cat. If I want more sound I need a straight through link decat pipe which can be had for very little. It depends massively on the bike - I don't know about yours. Try what I did though maybe.


Generally though I cannot possibly see how manufacturers charge £2000 for some metal pipe - crazy.

I went Yoshimura on CBR600 and it sounds divine, as far as I’m aware they are top quality. Would definitely recommend
