I KNOW this has been written about at length but buggered if I can find the thread

Looking at Fuel exhaust (for the Jap bike) and seem to remember some folks here tried/were going to try them. Did it ever happen?
If yes, did it make any difference to

a) noise
b) performance
c) chances of pulling supermodels


Ok, not really expecting much for c) but thought it worth a go...

I have a pair of Titanium FUEL cans on my Falco.

1) Much noisier than standard, but not too bad with the baffles in (heck I rode to the Nurburgring with em and I am not deaf.......pardon?)

2) Any increase is pure placebo IMO, would take a good dyno session and a PC3 before you would get any "real" increase

3) I dunno, they look pretty good to me.........could possibly snag a supermodel (If I wasn't riding it)

She'd get the right hump if it had a rider on that bike

Cheers Dan. Will see what it does on a Gixer. If they're anything like the Blue Flames on the Falco, it should make the Blackwall Tunnel a bit of a laugh in the mornings

Nah Gio, she'd fit in the sandwich compartment...

Yeh but it don't seem to work that way, when comparing V Twins with IL4s.
I have an non legal Race Can, (i.e. no baffle and not been re-packed since I bought it more than 4 years ago), on my old CBR1000F.
It sounds totally quiet compared with the Beowulf Road Legal Titanium cans on the Falco, complete with baffles.
Same with my future Son-in-Law, he's got a non legal open can on his CBR6 and he cannot hear it at all when out with me.
It seriously pisses him off.
Really sad innit !
