A question of cans?

[Toph]

I'm thinking of fitting a new can to my Thundercat... I've got a stock one on at the mo... 'tis a bit quiet!!

Any mods required to the engine?? can I just bolt on a slip-on can??

Clueless . com !! ;D ;D ;D

if ur bike is FI and not carb then the ecu will make any changes needed

if its carbs they may need re-jetting

get some ear plugs ;D

with my scorpion i can get a flame and a nice pop ;D ....such a kid

just before redline in 1st change gear fast as you can and POP BANG ;D love my can

My Cat has carbs... not FI..wot's involved in "rejetting?" :-? :-[

A slip on won't need re-jetting, being carbed it will bang/pop on the overrun nicely.

If you were going for the perfect set up, you would balance the can with a more suitable air filter over standard and a dyno jet stage 2 kit, if not just fit the can and enjoy the new soundtrack re-jetting is installing suitable replacement jets into the carbs which will allow the fuel to be delivered at a rate which will balance the air filter and can over standard settings. Pops and bangs are merely unburnt fuel igniting, if you have any concerns, pop it down to Tim blakemore racing in Bristol, for £30 you can put it on the dyno run and this will provide you with a printout, giving you a full diagnostic.

What do you perceive as being wrong with 'a bit quiet' ..?

Just bolt on a slip on can. If you have a full system you may need to re-jet.

I slip on can should do the trick... But I'm no expert :

Aside from the safety aspect ("loud cans save lives" and all that) a bike is *meant* to sound nice Cans are always the first thing I do to any bike I buy
