Weird Cans

I sold the Akrapovic Evo system that has been on my bike since March, so today I refitted my standard RRW system. I made a weird silencer back in January to test some zorst theories and I fitted it today.
It's about 600mm long, 63 mm diameter with a 35mm perforated tube baffle. Currently packed with stainless wire wool. I know it looks odd , but bare with me, it will be modded over the coming days/weeks. Opinions greatly appreciated and orders taken , should you see summat you like.
So here is weird can 1;



Video to follow if I ever get it to upload!

Yup, that's weird alright but impressive you made it yourself Alan

Thought I'd start with the usual standard length can , but with an O/D approx the same as the link pipe, with a 35mm perforated tube baffle. It will get shorter and maybe fatter? It needs some more absorption material coz it's a bit loud!!!

Is it possible to make a shorter can , but with one each side? ive seen a k7 gsxr with twin stubbie cans and it looked the biz

Not in favour of usuing wire wool Alan this will either catch alight at some stage or rot with the amount of condensation. There are kevlar refill packs available for that purpose.

Dunno why stainless wire wool would catch alight Mique ? Yes Wes, am planning a 4-1-2 . I made one for a mates 1260 Gixxer with twin Harris style cans.

A bit of noise!

would that not be two 2 into 1's?.

No mate. 4 into 1 into 2 cans.

Just pulled the baffle out and I had forgotten to pack it. I shortened it, ready for the slashcut, wrapped and wired stainless wire wool around it and then refitted it. Some pix and a vid. Whadya think?

shortened

wrapped and wired

refitted and tested

One short video

Good work there mate, cant play the video tho

Bugger, will keep trying. Did you click on the picture?

dunno what's happened with the vid, worked ok before?
Here's a slashcut with the full length baffle.


And hopefully a video.

Can't understand this, that video link works ok on all the other forums??? Worked ok on here for a while???

Dont think its worked at all mate, anyone else managed to watch?

nope didnt work for me.. Upload it to youtube and then link to it there?

mY bloody phone isn't telling me if or where it is on youtube. I'll keep trying. If I email it to somebody , can they put it on youtube?

Send it over mate and i will give it a go

I'll PM the photobucket link mate, if that don't work can you pm yer eMail addy?

The latest and last version of the slashcut. If anybody can sort the video problem , that would be splendid!



Next job is better absorbtion material and maybe modding the linkpipe!

Ive put it on a direct link to my photobucket, seems the only way it would work

Thanks Wes. Works ok on every other forum ???

Well I was sent some proper silencing material by a very kind gentleman on another forum. So I packed the 250mm long by 35mm bore baffle , polished up the "silencer" and refitted it today. Whadya reckon;



Double click on the piccy to listen to video.

It ain't gonna get any quieter than this unless I fit a pre silencer under the engine. The standard exhaust system has a four into two into one which is about 48mm diameter welded to the linkpipe which is 61mm diameter. Not sure what goes on inside the link pipe, but there aint much silencing! Here's a coupla pix of the collector and link pipe;


So I will either redesign the link pipe with a silencer in it or fit a 4" diameter pre silencer and a serpentine link pipe, as fitted to late model Blades with aftermarket Yoshimura or Akrapovic silencers.

Wes , can you do the honours with the video please mate?

ok mate, no probs
