Which exhaust should I get?Newbie.

Hi,my 2nd question,and one that i'm sure has been asked before,is....which replacement silencer,or can,as i believe they are called these days,should I look for for my 2000 sv650,what i'm looking for should be 1,second hand (tight budget). 2 ,easy to fit with no complicated modifications (my bike has previously had a different one on as the pipe has been cut, but the original suzuki one had been put back before I bought the bike) and 3, not "too" loud ,obviously I do want to hear a more satisfying noise when i'm out on my bike, or i'd just leave the suzuki one on, but I'd prefer to be road legal and don't want to upset people in my local village ! Mark.

Fuel

Fuel get good reviews and their customer service is top notch. Look on eBay as they sell the stainless steal ones on there reasonably cheap.

Or try looking on eBay for a second hand one. Any end can will do but you will need to get the correct link pipe (about £30) to fit the sv. You can get some real bargains this way.

i've had two fuel cans on two seperate sv's and no complaint's from me good sound well made job's a good un.

Yep- Fuel cans are good value and nice sounding cans. Easy to fit, too- comes with all bits and instructions. Can't fault customer service either.

Too loud? Well the baffle is removable. So you can make up your mind. Though it's not horrifically loud without the baffle, it may raise some eyebrows...

Any of the UK budget exhausts will fit your requirements, Fuel, CCC, Beowulf, Scorpion, and Quill.

To be honest, the best sounding exhaust on an SV is a Remus as it produces the deep bellow of a V-twin which the budget exhausts just can't match.

now a stupid question

after mounting an aftermarket silencer or a full system (any kind, low budget ones (like the ones listed before), or an arrow or leovince...), will be necesary to rejet the carbs to have a positive effect on the engine power? whitout rejeting will I louse performance or anything beside the sound will be the same?

No need to rejet (Curvy) or remap (Pointy) if you are fitting just a slip-on, if you are fitting a performance full system then yes you would need too.

I concur with DD!
