Gents which aftermarket can is recommended for the GTR?
So many available.
Beowulfs seem popular.
I had a Two Brothers but now have a Remus which is quieter but still sounds good.
It's all about yer budget and what sound yer after.
Markmacd is selling a Scorpion can on the market page. I have know idea what they are like but may save you a couple of bob

agreed, I've also had those pipes the Two Brothers was a noisy bugger until I fit a power tip noise reducer
I have an Akrapovic on my GTR now which sounds great as I don't like my bikes too noisy
I like the original but I'm probably the only one who does!

Me too but you have to keep the panniers on or it just looks too big.

I have one of these on my 2012 gtr,i like the sound it produce's,it's not to intrusive with the baffle out.in my opinion it look's as good as it sound's.
Thanks for the reply's, i have a 2016 GTR only just run in, i dont want a loud bike but want a nice growl, been looking this past month and like the look of the vance and hines or the akrapovic, like the look of the scorpion as well but cant seem to find the specs on this can.

Nice what make is the seat
it's a French brand (TOP SELLERIE) I managed to purchase it from someone from this forum,it was 2nd hand,but in as new condition.
I've got a Beowulf exhaust from my Tiger Explorer, it had a annoying boom at around 5000rpm on that bike. I'll be getting a GTR link pipe later in the year and see how it goes but, I actually like the standard can, its still a bit of a novelty having a quiet bike compared to the agricultural (but nice sounding) Triumph triple lol.

Got a Quill exhaust on mine, had them on my other bikes, nice sound, British made from just up the road.
I like the standard can, it makes the bike a bit of a sleeper. I did try an aftermarket can, which made a good sound, but even though it was supposed to be a straight retro fit, without the need to be re-mapped, I found that it messed up the tuning on my GTR giving me lumpy and jerky running at small throttle openings and it also reduced the power of the shove you get when the VVT kicks in. It may have given a bit more power at the very top end, but for me, the midrange grunt was less. The bike also felt really solid and well engineered with the standard can, so, rather than getting a re-map, I decided to put the standard can back on.
Don't know if anyone else had had any experiences like this? :smiley:
I keep the standard can on because it was designed for the bike and I don't want to muck up the settings with an after market exhaust. I like it any way.
And its especially good at launching spuds at any one following behind :mfr_lol:

very true!
I am using Delkevic short can, its loud
I replaced the full system with one from a zzr1400 so it has both silencers on and looks a lot better also removed the sensors its looks more symetrical
Was it a straight fit, the ZZR system? I mustard mit that i do like a twin can setup
Twin can set up looks superb,,,here's Muzzys :clap:

I've got an SP Racing on mine, sounds lovely on the power, tends to sound like artillery off throttle though :tank:
some of the after market cans dont look massively different than the standard one. I've got a Beowulf fitted which is shorter and carbon wrapped and it sounds great.
I love tunnels and wide bridges where I give it a bit of a blip or go down a couple of gears.
It also weighs a fraction of the original which is siting in the garage providing a valuable home to the spider population

I went with the Akrapovic, it's a nice sound and fit for the bike.
Take out the two baffles and it screas and barks at you also confusing people while they're looking for a ZX10 .
Although to be honest I'm sure whatever you choose you'll enjoy it compared to the sedate standard can.
It would be nice to get some bikes together with all the different cans on to compare.
Let us know what you choose.
Well in the end i went for a Scorpion Titanium Can, looks good and Bournemouth Kawasaki were doing a deal paid £320 ish fitted :laugh:
nice pipe, it Doesn't look all that Different to the Akrapovic :clap:
All very similar, aren't they? :smiley:
Cheers

Vance & Hines CS1 ,,,,baffles out imho

"Baffles out[" ..... "Vance & Hines", bet that's noisy :smiley: /color]
Ye OC huge grin factor all the way through the rev range ,,especially in 4th ,then drop the hammer WOW i also have the secondary flies out , and no flashing of ecu required
Kenny
I had a Two Brothers pipe on a previous GTR and had to fit a power tip as without it I found it too noisy for me :mfr_lol:
Whether the baffles are in my SP-Racing depends on how much the neighbours kids have pi**ed me off......
