Some cans might give a HP or two but all will sound better than standard.

For better power gains go full system , in the UK Micron seem to be the most popular. Your carb's will need to be jetted accordingly

I would avoid Delvic as your just putting on a copy of the original that's heavier (Stainless steel) and still as restrictive.

What you after , Noise, looks, performance, cheap?

kinda depends on how much money you have and what ones you like...i have a full micron system with a stubby can an its awesome, the sound is indescribeable an the power gain is good too, a micron silencer does not fit the standard downpipes so i needed a full system.
the bike did have a scorpion race can, sounded awesome lil more power an fits the standard downpipes.
you can get silencers from aroind £80 i think an go up to £1000 + lol but a full system is alot more expensive

As you open up the exhaust system the engine has the ability to expel it's fumes quicker.

If you go for a rapid 300m dash wearing a mask you'll gasp for air - so does your bike with an OEM zorst.

Remove the mask and you breath real easy and can produce more power but in doing so you burn more carbohydrates - your bike uses fuel.

So, once you make it exhale better you need to make it breath better and feed it more energy.

No end can and no re-jetting = burn out valves ! DON'T do it!

MM!

geddon mate thanks! thats made it clear as crystal! :D how is re-jetting done? are the jets just replaced with larger ones to let more fuel through? will a garage do it and how would you know what size needs to be used? Cheers!
