New exhaust? What do you think? - SV650.org

Not like me to post a work in progress

But I thought I'd make an exception, since this is, I think, a first and I want to get it out before someoen else nicks it (naming, no names, Ben) I've been eyeing up the new R6 stubby cans, and a Micron came by on Ebay very cheap so I thought I'd see how it works out...

Pics:

One thing to note, I have no idea how it'd work out with a standard system, but with the WRP it fits almost perfectly. I've bodged it on with, yes, 2 cable ties and some silicon sealant, because I'm that professional, and the fit is amazingly good. There's absolutely no ground clearance issues:

Or swingarm clearance problems:

Cons? Looks weird, to my eyes. But, as part of a longer term plan it'll stop looking weird I think. It sounds like rubbish, because it's a Micron and they all do

The overrun is just nasty. I've resealed the join and hopefully it'll help that. It's not as loud as you'd think mind, still quieter than a Scorp with the baffle out or an ART, but louder than my old can was. Fuelling wise, too early to say for sure but it seems happy.

My take is, it looks a little goofy with the front fairing on. Any thoughts?

Cool, looks alright to me, all you need are some race numbers, or maybe not.

Bboy: Why wouldn't it work on a pointy?

Law: Too curvy

But, there's loads of options for these wee R6/GSXR cans. I don't actually like the Micron, I'm irrationally prejudiced against the brand, so here's some others:

Laser:

(I hate the way most Lasers sound, but they do look magic)

Scorpion:

Arrow:

But my personal favourite, step up Akrapovic, with an allegedly road-legal...

Gorgeous, that... Very, very tempted. The best bit is, they're not expensive, even the Akra is around £200.

No, funny enough, 21Quest was who I had in mind. But you're all under suspicion

I had had a similar thought as I think the 2006 R6 stubby exhaust looks great. Interestingly it looks alot longer on your SV than on the R6? I have a pointy & can't see why it would look wrong on one. Have to keep my eyes open now for any more coming up on ebay. Well done anyway.

sound clip, sound clip? looks good! and i'm not really a fan of them new short exhausts.

Don't realy have the potential to record it just now

My camera's mic just clips. It sounds like it's carb icing

If you've heard that, you'll know what I mean, really flat and barky.

It does look longer... The WRP headers go further back than the R6 one does. Works out quite well I think.

Looks great. but you really need an undertray
