Which exhaust can?

Post by cress87 »

Gents,

I'm looking at getting an aftermarket end can for my NC23. After months of looking for a used one, I have decided to go new (unless anybody has a good one they want to sell ;) ) and have come up with a few options:

Blueflame Stainless oval (single exit) - £190 delivered

Quill Stainless Oval (single exit) - £188 delivered

Fuel Stainless Oval (single exit) - £155 delivered


I'm unsure which to go for as I've not heard any of them on a cbr400.

Which of those, or any other option I've missed, would people recommend? Limit is £200 really and it needs to be road legal :roll: .

I havent got a link to the blueflame one but I'm sure you all know what they're like.

Thanks in advance. :D

Hi,

Ive got a non road legal micron carbon can on mine and it sounds lovely. :)

It was brand new £60 off ebay about 5 years ago. My blade has a 90's micron beta waiting to go on it if i ever decide to deviate from standard.

Ive got a couple of mates that have recently bought the fuel cans for other bikes and they both seem happy with them.
Too many bikes, so little time!

Brand new carbon fibre round race cans from me to suit the NC23 / NC29 / NC35 / NC30 all @ £155 plus £8 for UK delivery. (other models just ask for a price.)

Ditto road legal - £175

Fitted with the correct 3 bolt flange or slip on if required - complete with strap.

NC30 requires an extra adapter @ £15

Full SS Internals - race DB killers in stock to suit.

Just as we race with - full spares back up i.e. new packing / sleeves etc should you fall off.

Well I ordered the fuel one in the end and 2 days later it's sitting here next to me. Will hopefully get it fitted on Sunday and give a verdict. 8-)

Just a quick question, I went to fit the new can today but it didn't come with a gasket. Does this really matter or shall I just bung it on without one? :?:

It shouldnt really matter unless you have fitted it up and can hear/feel a leak where the can joins up with the headers. I used to run my can without a gasket on it for awhile and it was fine, the only reason i refitted a gasket was because the hanger bolt alignment fit better with the gasket in place. My can doesnt use a strap like yours should have though, so im guessing it wont make a difference.

Let us know what you think of the can when its on the bike and running?

Cheers,

Ok, thanks for that. ;)

If it stays dry, I'll fit it tonight and report back.

Right...I fitted it and fired the bike up a few moments ago.

First impressions, it looks better and does sound nice - nice burble at low revs. I shall be taking it out on a run tomorrow though. The baffle is still in place at the moment too. :D

It is however blowing slightly at join with the header pipes so I need a gasket. :roll:

Where's the best place to get a gasket? Honda or somewhere else?

Cheers,
Joe.
