What exhaust ??

[SkidT]

I'm a Blue Flame disciple - got their oval, stainless, twin spout, road legal (but with removable baffles - 4 in/out options for various tones & loudness) cans and link pipes on our Fazer 1000, Fazer 600 and the Aprilia RSV Mille. Quality and durability on all of them is excellent - oldest is the RSV exhaust, which we bought in '05 (or '04) and which has done 20k miles, with a lot of track time.


The systems are quiet enough with baffles and caps in that they annoy no-one, but give a deeper tone. On all 3, we've now drilled a 12mm hole in the lower spout blanking cap, and run with the top baffle fully in place (they both come out or go in, in about 10 seconds each) - nice noise, but not too loud and never been picked up at MOT or at track noise tests.


We also think they look great (photos posted already here on other exhaust threads) and to cap it all off, the most expensive (most recent) one was I think about £170 direct from Blue Flame - oh and fitting's a doddle.


There's a few more Fazers on here with them and I've seen no bad feedback yet.


All in all, we can't fault them.

Can I ask which tracks these were and (if you can remember) what were the noise limits please?


I've just done a track day at Castle Combe (105db) and literally just scraped through. I'd prefer a slightly larger safety margin, in case there's a different tester next time, who is perhaps a little more rigid in his interpretation..


Been before with others who have passed the noise test and then gone back six months later with the same bike and failed?




Last time around I put the standard can back on to be safe, but now I've had it Full Monty'd that's not really an option.


Sorry for the thread hijack.
