If you want loud cans check out racefit!
they only make them for a few bikes but they sound like motogp exhausts!

I'll take that as a yes

the bike i just bought already has one fitted

A mate had a pair for his Falco. At loud trackdays he would be borderline with the baffles in.

I have one.





It sounds awesome. With the baffles out it rumbles and grumbles on the over run, and screams like a banshee when giving it some.
With the baffles in, it is tame and civilized, and gets through an MOT without a second look.

They look great too!

You cant fail an MOT for having a loud can.
There's no sound test on it!

This is intresting!

Was reading 'What bike' used guide mag and on the write up for the Ducati 749S 2003, it says that you should get the original exhausts too if the bike is fitted with Termignonis' as these wont get through an mot.

Wonder if this is because they are 'Race cans' rather than the sound levels?

[steven182]

are the emissions different on race cans then? is that what removing the baffles does?

Yes you can. It's down to the mot tester to make a judgement call as to whether it's excessively loud.

A bike can be failed for excessive noise.
When I had mine done a few, the bike after mine was failed due to excessive noise. They do not need a decible meter to know when its not legal.

There is a noise test in the MoT. It’s up to the tester to decide if the exhaust is excessively loud or not. This is because there were too many people giving cans with a BS stamp a ‘bafflectomy’ and passing an MoT because the cans were stamped even though they were too loud.

ETA. Damn! To slow again! I really should not take up a career as a 'hired gun'!

My can (a beowulf) is only road legal with the baffle in. I suspect that it would probably pass an mot without the baffle in as it's not that loud but my insurance would be invalid.

My Gixxer just passed it's MOT... with a Blueflame Evo on, and the baffles out. No problem.

[Venom]

When my bike failed its test the loudness of the exhaust was noted as an advisory but wasn't deemed a fail issue. The mildly binding front brake on the other hand....
