Some cheaper lower grade stainless is still magnetic, try it on your sink and you may find the bowl is not magnetic and yet the drainer is.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

just curious fazer rider, does the left hand cone line up with the outlet hole at the end of the exhaust?


reason: sharp spike hammered straight down the length of the exhaust.

Well, sort of. That is, the cone is central and so is the outlet, but the outlet pipe is at an angle so your "tuning" mod (if that's what you're hoping for) will have to go through the side of that pipe in order to stay central. Chances are that the force needed to drive a spike down there would end up ripping the welds apart, particularly the spot welds to the mesh. So you'd end up with a can full of mangled metal that sounds bad and performs worse. :lol

hmm, i suppose itd be worth a punt as standard exhausts are easy to come by, i knocked the hell out of the outlet and its made it louder but still not loud enough without changing it.


it did make it pull a little better but barely noticeable.


also what mesh? haha

on the outlet youve got the smaller tube in the middle all the gasses come out from, i cut out the outer ring around it, its welded to the next part down obviously but makes it sound a heck of a lot better and improves acceleration a little (barely noticeable)

2 holes on my 02 Fazer, they are for water to drain out but I never put water down the end of my exhaust  :b Mine does blow a little between the can and the pipe, more noticable in the winter due to the exhaust being visible but it is slight.
