Re: exhaust canister options
Tyga, carbon cans are pretty good value and sound nice. GavinJap4, on here would be able to sort you out with a tyga one. Or Art cans or MTC, not sure about posting to the USA, you may have exhaust makers nearer to you that would offer the same

lt1bird, you may find your answers here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6071
Feel free to post up some pics of your exhaust can there.
JMCA is not a brand, it is the official japan specification of legal approval.

Re: exhaust canister options
You can just replace the carbon sleave if you like. Drill the heads off the pop rivets and gently punch them through.
There are quite a few places sell carbon tube like:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Carbon-Fiber-Exha ... ycle_Parts
+50 cents for new pop rivets and an hour of you're time.
A bit of heat proof sealant inside where the carbon sleaves over the end plates is a good idea.

Re: exhaust canister options
Honest, I dont like the carbon look.... Plus, this thing sounds too quiet.... Now, I heard a yoshimura slip on that sounds awsome! Tyring to find one....Where can i find the yosumira slip on like this one?

Re: exhaust canister options
Re-sleave it in Aluminium or chrome steel if you prefer. How about titanium? For louder put less GF wool back in.
The sound difference is down to material and means of assembly. Carbon and ally dont resonate the way mild steel or SS do. Welded cans sound different to riveted.
Sadly, the Yoshimura name (a common name in Japan) is widely used in the bike parts market now. Make sure you get the real thing.

Re: exhaust canister options
I was hoping someone has the yoshi canister and could give me a part number. I might end up buying one and make it fit... you know how that goes...just dont want to re-invent the wheel LOL.

Re: exhaust canister options
You've got an aftermarket (Yamamoto?) system on there, so you'll only be able to fit slip-on sprung cans, unless you modify somethig. The muffler is probably restricted (out of Japan), a few mods would have it sounding very mean indeed.lt1bird wrote:I was hoping someone has the yoshi canister and could give me a part number.
