Hi looking to replace the stock exhaust on my 02 box eye Fazer as it currently sounds like an industrial sewing machine.
Currently got a centre stand fitted which I don't want to lose.
-
Loads out there, look on YouTube with a decent set of speakers or earphones and it will give you a very rough idea of tones.
I've just changed again back to my Quill exhaust, it's much easier on the ear and the bike tends to sound much smoother than my SP Engineering Moto GP exhaust.
They're both on there if you want a listen.
-
Blue Flame, Oval, TwinSpout, in Stainless - Road Legal configuration but with removable baffles (use what you want to get the noise you want), good quality, long lasting and well priced.
We've got them on 3 of our bikes and have never had a problem with any of them - both Fazers (600 & 1000) retained centre stands.

its IL4 it will never sound like twin. I was thinking to change mine too but the improvement is so tiny I do not think its worth it :lol
IMO the best sound will be Remus Hexacone

Remus Hexacone sounds like an arch enemy of Superman. :lol
-
mine sounds pretty deep at idle but as soon as you open the throttle it sounds like a gp bike :D
-
+1 for a blueflame can.
I've got a single exit like the on in this video and it's great, baffle in and sounds great, baffle out and sounds a bit deeper and louder. I keep the baffle in as that's loud enough for me.

Had a look on ebay limited choices when 'FZS 600 exhaust' is searched will any pipe fit so long as I get a link pipe and if so where can one aquire the link pipe?
Also used or new? Noticed new ones are around £100 -£130 which isn't too bad I suppose I wouldn't want to spend anymore on one though as I am not sure how long I intend on keeping the bike yet had it since February.
I'd also like one BSAU 193 markings/E stamped but I believe you can buy the plates off ebay and rivet them on.
Looked at YouTube videos I like the crackle of the scorpian as it comes off the power but that's £199 new.
So far I have narrowed it down to within my budget:
Delkivic mini 200mm stubby. (Not sure I like the look of stubbies yet).
Delkivic 450mm oval.
GP Carbon.
Simmi performance.
Best sounding out of that lot?
-
Blue Flame comes with link pipe, simple to fit in a few short minutes - I think ours was £140 all in for this one on the 600
Personally, I think it looks great and sounds great.

Yeah, the blueflame came with a link pipe and just slipped straight on, I bought it direct from them, the bsau stamp is on the can so even if you take the baffle out then the can is still stamped.
Just go for whatever you like though. They'll all be better than the standard one for sound.

another blue flame fan here. My bike sounds like a "real" bike :)
I've never taken the baffle out and it sound great going through vilages with buildings close to the road and screams a lovely tune when given some beans.
best £150 I've spent on the bike.
The chaps at blueflame are top gents too
-
I've recently put this on, from max torque cans, removable baffle. Sounds awesome with it in, even better with it out :lol
Price is £270 :eek
It's carbon tri oval as I wanted a complete change.
-
I just put my Quill exhaust back on my bike, to give my ears a rest from the Moto GP can, and one thing i've really noticed is that when your carbs are properly balanced it really changes the exhaust tone.
The Quill used to have a deep but subtle raw sound to it but now it still sounds deep but rather sensible, the difference is very noticeable.
Nowhere near as burbly as the Moto GP one though, it sounds much nicer on the ears.

Colin/Darrsi any chance you can uppload short videos to hear the sound?
-
Yeah I'm pretty pleased with it Val :)
I've done a couple of short videos but can't seem to upload videos on here :(
I know you can view it here http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=121219116415&alt=web (http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=121219116415&alt=web) they have videos of it on there somewhere but I couldn't find it :(

That sounds mean :lol
-
Just downloading the without baffle one, wait till you hear that!
-
See above Val for the without baffle link :)
Did you hear the without baffle one? What do you think?
-
Sounds a tad smoother now, this was before the balanced carbs.
Quill has no baffle, the Moto GP is baffled. I tried it once and allthough it sounds marvellous without one you just get the impression EVERYONE is looking at you, which you really don't need or want. :look

Can't view your videos darrsi, it says no longer available :(
-
Just touch where it says that.
-
Ahh right, duh@me :eek I just didn't bother as it said that :lol
Nice sounds bit your right about thinking everyone's looking at you without the baffle in :eek
-
The 2nd one is WITH the baffle in.
Sounded much deeper without but just LOUD.

Trust me, a lot of sound is lost in the videos, it sounds like it has no exhaust when you give it the slightest bit of welly.

I like the best SP with baffle
-
I would say is there is now a lot more vibration through the bars since I put my can on.
I had that problem before with standard exhaust, but thanks to mickvp I done the carbs and it smoothed out :thumbup just wondering now if I need to redo the carbs again for this can? Any advice on this be great :)

:agree

...mine came with a Devil Magnum can, deep and fairly loud. I had to use micro indicators though.
-
I have just purchased a new can from Max Torque cans, it is amazing they have had a rebrand and their new logo looks great check it out on their website http://www.maxtorquecans.com/ (http://www.maxtorquecans.com/)

Wouldn't be too keen on declaring the make of those cans on my insurance form though!
-
Mine has a scorpion on. It grumbles, crackles and pops on overrun. :D
-
Scorpion here too.. Slightly modified baffle fitted to allow better breathing, wow those things look and feel restrictive as standard..

What do you mean?
Mine doesn't have a baffle, just a bug hole down the middle. I think I get it used off ebay. Probably the best upgrade I ever fitted.

More than likely an off road race can if it doesn't look like a baffle's ever been fitted.
-
It does have "not for road use" embossed on it. I keep meaning to polish it off. :rolleyes

Normally that's the main one for an MOT failure if it's actually written on it.
My Quill exhaust is a race can but it doesn't say 'not for road use' anywhere and it's not too loud at tick over either so gets through okay.
Oddly enough i got an advisory once for noise on my Moto GP can which is totally legal when baffled, but he didn't spot the markings on it. :rolleyes [size=78%] [/size]
-
Yes mine came with baffle inserted and bs stamped.. Goes great without the baffle, better throughout the rev range with it fitted and also slightly more neighbour friendly :) .. The bike did feel restricted at higher revs tho before the baffle was modified..

Jeez Nick, that's a big heavy lump to have sat up by your tailpiece! A huge can !
-
Mine has a J.A.C can and it sounds really good.
