Do you have to drill a hole in your can to fit these? Or can you attach them some other way?

Yup you need a bolt-hole afaik

Some cans have a circlip inside, but that takes a bit of precision to work without rattling all over the place.

most if not all have removable exhausts.........i think..
if yours has been removed then the hole should still be there,
if not, well out with the drill...

I've got an ART can on my bike (fitted with no original when i bought it) and it would have failed the MOT if I hadn't had one of these.

It just slipped in (oo-er) and my bike passed without having to secure it properly. You are supposed to drill a small hole to keep it in place with a bolt (provided). I think mine cost about £12 posted from a supplier in UK. Just google DB Killer or Decibel Killer and have a look.


Why do you want to make it quieter?

Nah, unless the MOT tester was a tosser you'd probably have gotten an advisory.

Wanted it just incase, same reason I carry around my clear visor during the day time.

It really depends on your MOT guy. Ours passed with our stubby fitted and that's way louder than the ART can.
