Standard Pipes

Post by kev64 »

Anybody running standard pipes.?

I just bought some new manifold pipes and decided to stick the
standard cans back on.
Gave em a polish they might way a ton but they still look well good.!!!
And the sound, you know it makes a change to be able to here other
stuff !!
And you know what, I might well have been imagining things, but it pulled
like a train and seemed a lot smoother !!

What did you have on before? Might have needed a jet kit to run with your old ones hence why it feels more responsive

What did you buy and from where. Re the mod to your cans is it a full jobby or just holes in the end plate. Keep threatening to do one or the other.

I only ran them for a trackday to ensure I got through testing, but I did actually enjoy them, during the ride there and back too. You only get the noise when cracking on, which encouraged me to crack on :)
Overtaking didn't feel rude and obnoxious either, just quietly swoop by and carry on.

...I do still run open Arrows though.

Black widow manifold, and just the holes drilled, not a bad sound, don't think the full
Bafflectomy is too difficult, I was gonna keep drilling a few more holes and bash out
with a hammer and chisel but never got round to it :thumbup:

I bought the bike with open cans and they were LOUD. Thinking about a track day they would never have passed so I got some standard cans, no bafflectomy. I much prefer the standard cans.

Cheers for that, I have been looking at these as my own headers or rather the front one has been badly squashed before I got it. Missed that but no mind just trying to make up my mind which way to go. D
