Old cans new sound

Post by Acke »

Hi!

Since I want to keep the original cans for MOT I've been running a pair of smaller cans which are loud...
Decided to order a pair of refurbished cans which I'm going to perform a baffle-ectomy on. Looking to get that deep growl! :twisted:

Has anyone here ever painted the stock cans?

Not that I'm aware of...You'd have to key up the surface first before applying any paint, have to be heat resistant...

Oh I ran debaffled cans on me commuter hack, passed MOT many a time. Still heavy bloody things tho...

Yeah the weight is horrible...
I wonder what makes up all the weight.
Unfortunately I'm not keen to spend 450+ on a pair at the moment.
