Exhaust wanted.

[DanAbnormal]

Hi guys......I'm after a can for my new sv650s. I want tone that sounds amazing. What would you recommend?

I'm torn between Remus revolution and a Blue Flame oval twin port.

Hmmmm......noise!

Hi there

Which ever you choose, you won't be dissapointed by the sound I pretty much promise you.

I have heard a lot more complaints about blue flame than I have remus. Blue flame are probably cheaper at the cost of not having any sort of after sale service as they are re-nowned for being crap at this.

I've always liked Remus. The remus revolution can I had on my sv was top notch kit, I loved it. :)

Although, whichever you go for, I would get stainless steel unless you like to polish (they tend to fade quite quickly I find)

I've got twin Remus on my SV1000 (without baffles :twisted: ) - highly recommended.

ive got a scorpion on my SV curvy (race one) and sounds great, ive also heard a micron full system but didnt think it sounded as nice :?

Whatever you get will give you that V-Twin smile!!

[fizzwheel]

Out of those two I'd have the remus if it was my money

Have a look in the exhaust section there is plenty of useful stuff in there

mate i got a wolf oval carbon,and evily lound :twisted:

Okay next question...........how hard is it to fit the can?

I'm going to get the Remus Revolution. Some guy told me I will have to cut my standard exhaust off???! Never heard of that before and I'm not too keen as the bike is brand new. Anyone know if this is true?

Yeah, fraid so. Unless you buy a full or 3/4 system, which would be expensive. But it's not that big a deal. You cut through your exhaust with a hacksaw or grinder, down near the bottom just behind the weld, and fit the link pipe on there. If you need to go back to standard, most companies supply a sleeve that can be used to cover the cut.

[DanAbnormal]

Thanks Northwind. Darn it. Oh well, I guess it will be worth it for that Remus goodness.

I'd definately say so... It doesn't really do much to resale value either, by all accounts. At worst, you can usually pick up SV exhausts fairly cheaply on Ebay.

[james160987]

what actually is a 3/4 system as i have no idea what one is?

[northwind]

On the SV, it's usually an end can, a collector box and a rear header. You reuse your front header. Quite expensive for very little gain, usually. I wouldn't, personally.

I got a CCC can at christmas, and I'd really recommend them to anyone. I wouldn't worry about cutting your exhaust. I was really nervous about it myself, as I am most definately NOT a good mechanic, but it was really really easy. The instructions came with the can, and to be honest they were simple (a sketched diagram on an A4 sheet) but they don't need to be hard. Ie, cut HERE.

Slip your new link pipe over, then slide in your new exhaust and bolt it on. Dead simple. :)

Thats unless you buy a CCC high level system and it doesnt fit ( they based the link pipe and hanger bracket on the K3 which is no good for K4 - K6 ).

Still they seem fairly keen to sort out the problem.......

Have a peek in the goodies section mate and listen to a few soundclips to help make up your mind

[Toypop]

Still toying over whether to buy a new can or leave my bike standard so I can get more for it when I sale or px for an IL4 supersports in a year.

My experience of V-Twins so far is that of the standard can i.e. rubbish. Indeed my old Bandit with the standard can blew it away on the sound front.

Anyone got any decent sound clips of aftermarket cans - preferably legal ones?

Edit: Silly me, just found loads of clips on the main part of the site. Still if anyone has more especially ride pasts I'd like to hear them.
