New exhaust can without using a link pipe

[Skivvie T]

Hi there.
I bought an end can, like you do, with no idea you had to cut the existing exhaust to fit it.
The can was new/ unused and advertised to fit an SV, so I bought it.
It came without a link pipe so I had a look for one, they're about £35 on eBay.
I decided I'd have a go at doing it another way.
I cut my standard exhaust at the silencer

I then bought one of these for £14

The exact diameter of the cut exhaust, when cut at the silencer, is 53mm.
So any end can with a 53mm inlet will fit with one of these connectors as long as the exhaust hanger is moveable so that you can slide it to meet up with the fixing on the rear footrest hanger.
So then I was left with this, both cut exhaust and new exhaust inlets are the same size, 53mm.

Just then a case of putting the connector in place and getting the hanger lined up

Sorry if all this has been said before, but I thought I'd share it.

photobucket dont allow 3rd party viewing now without a premium subscription, you need to use something like imgur.com for image hosting

Just tried that but just links and no images.

Yep, Big arrow is step one, that way the images don't resize the forum massively then copy/paste the link - rinse repeat for each pic

Before and after

Hi mate . Is that one of the cheep Chinese exhausts from ebay ( done mean to be rude ) just I've looked at them and wonder if there ok !

[Chris_SVS]

If it is they sound pretty sweet! I was considering one but realised that my Remus Revolution with no baffle is plenty loud. It wasn't until I heard the bike bike with someone else riding it though

Great post.Thinking of doing the same but I know I would have to inform,"Bennets" of the change and pay.If we don't inform the Insurance companies they will wheedle out of claims if there's an accident :(

Did you have to re-jet or change anything fuel wise?

Not so. If they would have insured it with the mod then you will just be charged for the additional cost that would have been added to your premium if you had declared it in the first place

if your just adding a slip-on there is no need to jet (curvy) or have the ecu flashed (pointy)

Great.Thanks for the info :)

I think it is one of the cheap Chinese jobs.
I have left the baffle in, it's removable, and it sounds really good.
It's pretty good quality really and I like the look of it.
Not done anything with jetting, it's fine the way it is.
I'll upload another quick video I did the other day in a bit.

What's the road legal deal with these and MOT?

[PyroUK]

Not a bad fix mate, only potential issue I can think of with this, rather than a link pipe, is the seal.

You may notice a bit more coking around the joint with the shorter connection so a bit more cleaning required [emoji4]

Looks like a nice bit of kit though, how much it set you back?

Re insurance: I declared my mods (exhaust,double bubble,hugger) with no premium hike, but declaring brake hoses was substantially dearer. I'm not sure it's worth taking a chance

From memory these copy Akrapovic's are legal with baffle in

To the OP.Would it be possible using your method to re-use the stock exhaust if I chose to return to stock?

[Skivvie T]

I paid £65 for the exhaust and £13.99 for the connector.
If you cut a couple of inches away from the standard can you can re use your standard can at MOT time with the connector.
The guy I take my bikes to for an MOT has never really tested any of my bikes properly, he just has a chat whilst his computer timer times out.
