Riding with no end can
 

My latest ‘thing’ is to go out for a ride .. get into the middle of nowhere, remove the can (inc. link pipe), stick it in my rucksack (once it has cooled a little ;)) and then ride about round the backroads with no exhaust … 8)

Anyone else do/done this just to see what it is like?!!?

I am not sure if it actually sounds 'good' but it is f-loud when she is on full chat ... and quite exciting pretending you are on a moto GP bike!! ! :D

Can't say I've done it on a bike, but many years ago I decided I wanted to make a straight-through system for my Vauxhall 2300cc Viva.... worked for a Vauxhall main dealer at the time so I just helped myself to a nice selection of 2nd hand exhausts in the old exhaust skip

while I was fabricating it at home at the weekend, my old boy came outside to ask me what I was doing, when I told him he just shook his head and went back in the house....

Finished it off, proudly fired it up and went for a blast....

15 minutes later I was back home putting the old one back on......It was unbearable!!!!

Suppose my old fella knew best after all........:rolleyes:

hope yours sounds better... it's just one of those things you have to get out of your system.....

I raced my FZR400 for 5 years on a can that was too loud for the racing regs ;-) It had a Vance and Hines race system putting out a measured 109dB!

Funny thing was that whenever I came back off the track to the pits and caught site of the sound tester man I always killed the engine and coasted as if out of fuel. Ah those were the days.

It did sound awesome though.

ive heard an R1 with no can on before = evil it was :)

I nearly put solid pipe down middle of can, but decided against it. Now it's still just excessive rather than monstrous.
