Slip on or full system?
 

Is there any benifit to going for a full system over just a can? JHS racing said they could make a full system using m4 pipework and a leo vince road legal can (with removable baffle).

Performance wise, not a lot, but the race systems are much lighter.

Unless you have increased the compression ratio, done valve work and replaced the cams. A full system is a waste of money in my opinion on the stock SV650. The differance between a full system and a Slip-on End Can with the stock SV650 is approx. 2 Horse Power at the top-end of the Rev range. Hardly cost effective, if you ask me.
It does keep you from cutting into your stock exhaust system though.

I got a hindle full system for about £400. It's certainly a lot lighter than stock, so helps the handling when wobbling round tesco's carparks. Obviously you can get a slip on can for a lot less, but I like it.

I didn't mean to demean anyone who puts a full system on there stock SV my friend. 8) I was just trying to state a point from a cost effective to HP gain point of view. Yes, you are right in that a full Titanium aftermarket exhaust system would be a weight saver.
If you do frequent track days and want the most from a stock SV650. That would be a different case scenario and one would consider a full Ti system for the weight advantage alone.
Cheers!

Don't worry, I'm not offended! :) I just wanted to say that some full systems are a lot cheaper than others.

The hindle system is alu BTW. :)

I think the lightest system would probably be a full titanium exhaust with a carbon fiber End Can. But, they are pricey. :)
Did you say you have a full aluminum exhaust with the aluminum End Can made by Hindle? :shock: I thought most full exhaust systems were either titanium or stainless steel with choice of End Can?
Cheers!

The can is stainless, but the pipes are certainly alu. Really, they weigh nothing!
