Here a few pics of the blade.

Looks very retro and I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out.

Quite like that! But then again I dislike modern short cans that poke out sideways at 45' and an awful metal colostomy bag under the shock linkage. Suddenly a FireBlade is attractive and doesn't go extra noisy on right handers as you lean it over.

Exhaust can itself looks like it's off a ZX7. The rocket launcher angle looks reminiscent of Laser Hotcam systems of the late 1990's - most stylish.

Castle Coombe is different, they have a section on their websites. Fireblades with standard exhausts fail the test, stupid or what?

Thanks - yes it is a ZX 7R can.. Kawasaki heavy engineering at it's best .. heavy but does the job.

I've got a gsxr 750 2010 model with a full yoshimura r77 system, passed cadwell noise regs without a baffle.

Think it was 99db and I thought it was loud. You'll be fine mate, although I did hold the revs a little bit less than what they asked for ;-)

Funny that. :P

There was a photo knocking around of a bloke that wedged another can into the end of his stock can on an R6 to get it through the noise test. It passed like that, so he used a ratchet strap and rode it on track like it. :O

heh, that was my mate steve with his micron marital aid, might be doing something similar at pembery next week.

thanks for the reminder, my standard can on my GSXR1000 K2 put out 97db so i'd better remove my scorpion stubby in prep for Snetterton on Monday
