Ok proberbly been asked before

But what is the best can to use on blackbird engine.

is the R1 can suitable or zx10/zx12, also want to get on a track so cannot be too load, without loosing performance,

I have a gsxr 750 can on at the moment,
which came with the car so not sure is wright for it anyway, so need to change,

your wise words would be grateful.

Cheers

R1 can would be OK, they are reasonably quiet and cheap on ebay, but unless you've got an airbox to reduce induction you will likely still struggle at the NIMBY circuits (Donington, Goodwood etc). The R1 can is baffled so not as freeflowing as some, but people still get good RR results with them so they cant be too restrictive.

Chris

Thanks Chris.

I am running the standard air box and will put in a K&N filter,

The foam filters create too much induction noise and are great for the road but i would have to re tune each time i changed these over i guess,

so best option stick with the box.????
And a R1 can????

If you're running the airbox already I would certainly stick with it yep. An R1 can is a cheap solution so worth a try, it won't be as good as a whacking great repackable 7" can and it wont be as free flowing as a straight through bike can, but its a good compromise for the money IMHO.

Well got myself a almost new can from ebay for £50.

Carbon can of 98/99 bike just need to modify it now.

Price seems good i hope??

Thank god summer is comming cannot stand this cold weather and snow.

Too late now if it isnt a good price

If you want any pics of a modded one give me a shout

Got my 03 R1 can for £7 off ebay! Just in the right place me thinks...

Could you post a few piccies of a modded can though Chris?

Interested to see how you modded it.

Chris.

Most i have seen go for around £50 so gues wrong place wrong time.

Pics of the modded can would be great chris.

I just realised I haven't actually got any decent ones of the can itself! Im out in the garage over the weekend getting the car ready for the first trackday next Sunday, so will gets some pics then.

As promised, here's a few pics of my modded R1 carbon can.

R1 Silencer 1



R1 Silencer 3

BTW, its at a weird angle on the car as its not currently mounted properly! The ally patch on the top is where it has a small hole in it which I found when I took the original R1 mounting strap off.

Chris

Thanks Chris this helps alot.

Question for anyone in the

ESSEX/SUFFOLK border area.

Do you know anyone who could help me do these modifications as me and welding are like oil and water.

Either a manufacturer or someone with more talent than me,
Willing to pay of course.

Cheers
Sean

Here's my R1 modified can, I had a straight through can but got fed up with wearing ear plugs
