Hi all, I have me a sv650 s k6 and I am looking to get a new exhaust, was looking at a Blue flame Coloured Titanium EVO3 Dual Port Trioval for £300, was just wanaa see what your guys thought and if you have any suggestion if this aint the best exhaust to go for.

i have got one on my 99 curvy they sound awesome & it gives a extra 3-4 bhp im selling mine only because im putting it back to standard because im putting it in partx they wont give me any more money for it with it on the bike i would reccomend these cans all the way

Have a read of the exhaust section

As for Blue Flame, I wouldnt buy another, they look nice and they sound good to, but the build quality and can strap mounting leave alot to be desired, mine shook itself to bits and had to go back to be repaired under warranty.

The end caps split and popped rivets out and then it vibrated so much the strap wore a hole in the titanium skin.

Theres better products out there for that sort of money, In that price range I'd be looking to get a Remus can of some description.

Build quality is dubious, or it was, and personaly there are better cans out ther for less money. I agree they look good, and sound good, but i had a bad expeirence many years ago and i would never recomend them at all. As for power gains...hmmm, mine was actually restircting power at points in the rev range so read any pwer gains as optimistic with ANY race can unless the rest of the fuel/air system is mapped/jetted to suit the can.

I'd go for Remus, akrapovic, Hindle, Viper (Budget option) and such like.

Edit : Fizz beat me too it :)

IMO

i would go for a better 2nd hand can

Remus, akrapovic, Hindle, scorpian etc.

With £300 as a budget I'd get something "proper" too. Akra, Yoshi, Remus etc

[ethariel]

Mmmm Remus, but then i'm biased.

Beowolf Warrior! Cheap and sound ace also comes with a lifetime garentee!
Anything breaks they will fix it. £175

Thanks all for the advice, glad i asked now. I will look into the other exhausts to see wot they got. But from the probs ppl seem to have with blue flames build quality i think i will just give them a miss.

Thanks again, no doubt there will be many more questions in the future.
