What end can?
Hello all!
I've currently got a stock can on my ZX4, and was wondering what people had fitted / what was available? I used to have a twin outlet Blueflame on my Fazer which sounded lovely, anything similar for these?
Daft question maybe, but can you fit a 600 end can to a 400cc bike?
Thanks!

Re: What end can?
anything is possible with enough time and money. You can get adapters to fit slip on cans (they come with sandybikespares downpipes) or you can get any exhaust with a 3 bolt fitment @ 72mm distance. Though i have a yoshit on my bike and had an ART racing can which got damaged I LOVED that can, yoshi is a bit more aesthetically pleasing but that can did SCREAM!! It was a straighthrough pipe which was 50mm in diameter compared to the yoshi at about 35mm for the actual cheesegrater pipe. Anyway the bolt distance on that is 76mm so someone welded a new plate on my sytem and drilled it though you could always drill the existing plate which someone did on my standard downpipes. Reminds me, i need to get them painted so they dont corrode over winter

Re: What end can?
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you!
I love the Akrapovic carbon cans and the BlueFlame ones too - I was wondering whether the R6 / 600ish cans would be OK on our older 4s, what with gas flow? I don't want to create too mach backpressure, or peversely, not enough!! Making a link pipe shouldn't be too hard (I hope! ), so it's mainly the exhaust flow I'm worrying about.

Re: What end can?
The differences you get in back flow can change dramatically within one bike, I had the ART race can on mine and was running 100DJ's about 102 Keihin, swapped for the Yoshi and had to drop to DJ96's, different pressures will change how the engine power is at different rpms and under different conditions

Re: What end can?
Well, I've just bought an R6 Titanium exhaust off ebay. For £28, I couldn't really say no!ross46 wrote:The differences you get in back flow can change dramatically within one bike, I had the ART race can on mine and was running 100DJ's about 102 Keihin, swapped for the Yoshi and had to drop to DJ96's, different pressures will change how the engine power is at different rpms and under different conditions
As I' on 33hp, what effect will this have on the performance? Nothing (apart from a nice sound! ), or actually make things worse?
Cheers!

Re: What end can?
probably make it worse, you might need a bigger main jet, but this could also invalidate your 33bhp certificate...your choice...

Re: What end can?
Slip on? 3 bolt? Round or tri oval?

And you thought that would fit nicely onto a ZXR400.................................

On a ZX-4. Even worse, I know. But I have a toolkit, and an ability to improvise!cargo wrote:it's a bog stock R6 exhaust can

Re: What end can?
I thought it might have been a nicer can, not the stock box! Someone on eBay has welded (badly) a bit of pipe onto stock headers to make a slip on system

Re: What end can?
I was thinking of getting a machine shop to do a proper job, or even do it myself at work. I've decided to stick with the stock ZX-4 can for the time being, so now need to shift this one.ross46 wrote:I thought it might have been a nicer can, not the stock box!
