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........ ![]() 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
![]() 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. |

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