Exhaust upgrade - HarryHornby - 18-11-13
Just wondering, what's a good replacement exhaust for the FZS600. Something that sounds better than the stock one (not hard, I know) but that will pass an MOT with no worries.
Or, what's a good exhaust that I can easily make pass an MOT without having to remove it and change it for the stock one or bribe the garrage!
Also, I'm no great mechanic, so it would need to be an easy, like for like swap.

I've had 4 x FZS 600 and changed the can on all of them, if it is just the end can you mean then my observations are thus:
Best looking - ART endcan, especially colour coded, but not often seen secondhand nowadays, easy to fit, slides on/off the link pipe very simply, didn't have removable baffle but never had an issue at MOT, was nice sounding
Best quality - Scorpion, not the cheapest but again easy to fit, sounded nice and had a removable baffle so no worries at MOT time
Least fave - Fuel endcan - not the easiest to fit (for me at least) and quite loud even with the baffle in, not my personal favourite as didn't like the looks of it much either
Best value - £89 380mm stubby jobbies from eBay , easy to fit , sounded great, had a removable baffle and looked okay as well
Fitting is pretty much take the original can and connected pipe off, clean joints etc, add gasket (although I didn't always bother). Fit new link pipe, fit can to pipe, line up with bracket, tighten everything up and off you go, about an hour or so max for me and I'm not very technical
Of course if you are looking to replace the whole system that is a different kettle of peanuts that I am sure someone else can help you with
