Apart from Blueflame what can I get?
 

On my list of things today, ordering a titanium dual port blue flame was at the top, a haircut a very low second. Looking at what happened to JakeRS, plus some other guarded warnings about blue flame, what are the alternatives?
What I want is something road legal when it needs to be but can be made raunchy within a few minutes (like the dual port) - it must fit my K5, it must come with the parts required to put the OEM exhaust back on, and I'd prefer to order it via the web, not through a dealer. Anything else fit the bill (links please), thanks.
I dont know if Blueflame deserve all the stick they get, but they have not bothered to reply to my emails regarding requests for stock levels, delivery times.

There are a huge number of alternatives.
Renegade, CCC, Fuel, ART, Scorpion are just a few.
I've seen some very nice cans made by X-Generation in Poole, but I don't know if they make any for the SV, I think you'd also need to phone them directly.

There are quite a few others that also work well with the SV.

carbon can co... sounds great, even with the baffle in!

they'll make a dual port too :)
quite ofton you'll find them new on ebay, got my road legal stainless oval for £110 :wink:

Scorpion, Remus, Rene, Akropovic, CCC, Wolf...

Loads of em, take your pick

i know people have bad views on blue flame but when i get my k5 i will more than likely be putting a coloured titanium high level on it as from all the pics i have seen it fits the bike the best and does'nt stick out as much as some of the others, but i had a remus on my cbr and that was real good quality but they don't do coloured titanium :(

I agree entirely, I love the look of them - but I have emailed the customer support maybe 10 times, daily just recently and getting no reply - and thats to try and spend £300 with them - I don't feel I'd have much support if there was a problem, nor do I think a company with such poor customer relations (not just my opinion) deserves my business.

http://www.kuhnco.com/SV650/Exhausts/ it talks about K3, would assume they would also fit a K4/5 but someone will correct me if i am wrong

You are wrong. K3 link-pipes are different to K4-5.

Given that I'm new to the whole pipe sizes arguement you'll have to excuse my comment.
I have a full Yoshi setup on and currently ride around without the baffle. It sounds brill and most bikers I've asked don't think that it's illegal nosiy.
I've got a sound clip if you're interested [jeez, what a geek!]
BN.

sound clips are nice but browsing that site, i reckon the difference in sound has more to do with mic type/placement than the type of exhaust. Even less helpful are my tiny laptop speakers :(
