sleeved vs CC's

[rick111s]

I've had my tuscan about 6 months and i got the dealer to sleeve the standard cans about 1 month into ownership. The sound is great but with all the positive threads and posts on CC can anyone that's had both please post their comments.

I do love the sound of the sleeved cans but wonder how louder / different the CC's are?
i dont really want to spend the couple of hundred if there are not that much different to sleeved cans.

thanks

Rick

Hi Rick. I have both its useful to have both the standard carbon and the bright shiny CC cans. For the noise and fun stuff the popping and banging on the down shift great. The cans really do sound great. However if like me, your married and you do some touring for a couple of weeks at a time with the wife. Then mine have to come off and the carbon cans go back on just for the tour. Actually to be fair on a very long journey mine do get a bit much on the ears. So I just swap them over only takes 10 minutes just remember to use copper grease if you plan to take them off an on and it’s a great compromise and it pleases the wife cant be bad.
Cheers

dti-dave so which would you say give the best noise? i love the look of the standard cans and dont want to spend the money if the CC's are not that much louder.

thanks

The CCC's are a staight through bore of slightly larger diameter. If sleeving the existing standard cans then you are effectively making a straight through pipe but reducing the diameter. I may be talking out of my bum here but I would guess that a slightly reduced diameter wouldn't give you the deeper tones you get from a CCC.

ah i see.
perhaps i need to pop along to the next local meet and see if i can hear a tuscan with CC's

thanks

CC's sound like a bake bean tin, they reverberate(sp?) too much. Whereas, sleeved cans have a deeper roar, nicer pops etc..

Its £360 for carbon ccc's, so i'm simply having the wadding removed from the original cans, for the same result and less £££.

Hi Rick
Yes the CC cans are loud and I would agree with my learned colleague TimW the cc's do have a tendency to reverberate. Cheapest option is if you like the carbons take the cans to your local independent exhaust specialist and he will sleeve them for you at least they will around my area.
A friend of mine was charged 50 notes and they made a very nice job.
Take a look on Ebay CC sometimes sell there cans on ebay which is where I purchased mine.
Cheers

Dti-dave, my cans at the moment are sleeved. As above i like the carbon effect but sometimes i would like to have a louder car hence my enquiry on CC's.

I dont want to go down the route of having it de-cat or having the silencers removed just wanted to know if in general the CC's gave a better and louder sound the sleeved normal cans.

[TimW]

Just before the cans, theres a 90degree bend in the pipe, if im correct there is some wadding in there, remove that and it will be very loud...... Alans/LIOFF had that done i think..

[lew_boi]

Hot racer,
have you had your cans done yet ?
Been looking into this since picking my tuscan up, was thinking of sleeving them myself. Might have to pop over and have a listen if you have !
(Great excuse for a run out )

[hot racer]

Apparently the cans are machine welded from inside so my dastardly plan has failed. Am gonna sleeve them though, and as one of my cats is on its way out, they'll be coming out aswell. Should be nice and loud then! Engine is being rebuilt and upgraded at Autocraft at the mo, but when i get the beast back, will deffo go for a ride out, although i'll be running it in, .

If it any help i have had 3 tuscans now, 2 where sleeved and one ccc cans, the ccc cans are 100% better than any sleaving,imoa.

You like the tinny, reverbarating noise?


IMO Sleeved sounds nicer, specially with the cat still in but with the baffles out aswell
