Have fun with the end can. Looks good and sounds fun BUT I bet you decide to put the OEM one back on when you're feeling guilty of annoying neighbours and people living in those lovely idyllic villages we love to ride through. You'll also notice your fuel consumption goes up and probably lose 20 miles range from a tank so not the best option for touring. Consumption probably goes up due to constantly trying to play tunes and pop bangs with the end can. You'll know what I mean after a few rides out. My FUEL end which I love, sits in its box on a shelf most of the year and comes out to play a couple of times a year for a bit of fun. Anyway I don't want to spoil your fun, ride safe and enjoy 👍. Loving your videos and channel BTW 👌👍

Thanks . All of my bikes have had end cans fitted. The only one I took off was the Arrow one that I had on my Africa Twin. That was road legal and popped and banged really loud. It came with the bike when I bought it used, in the end it was simply just too much and off it came and the oem one went back on. The SC is way nicer sounding and much more "village friendly" . As far as fuel consumption goes, where I live will be a good test for it and I will do an update when I have more info from the fuel consumption on the TFT . Ride safe....pop pop bang bang 🤪

@gsd32i

Жыл бұрын

Hi Becksy, in initial start up the exhaust valve does it’s thing so it revs about 1400 rpm when it is a bit “ raspy” then it reduces to 900-1000 and is fine . Noise is a bit fruitier than standard but the exhaust sound is great and rising through villages you aren’t going to upset the locals it’s not that kind of exhaust . I would buy it again and I am quite fussy when it comes to noise etc . Some exhausts like the jekyl and Hyde system sound great but are nearly twice the price and you have to have them fitted by an approved dealer ( I think !) good luck in your final choice . 👍

Delivery took about 3 weeks I did chase them up but I guess like everywhere at the time short of parts etc who knows . No issues with it and quality is brilliant . I had to pay about %5 import tax off the top of my head. I guess you could contact your local customs folks and ask about import tax for an exhaust manufactured in Italy as there are loads of codes for items now here in the Uk for specific bits all thanks to Brexit ! Sounds lovely on the bike and just gives it a bit of character that the original is lacking in my opinion . Wipe with wd40 is sc projects advice to keep it looking like new ( for my exhaust anyway ) 😀
