Aftermarket exhaust cans?

[Mad-1]

Hi guys! Just a few questions I'd like answering... 

I have a CB-1 with a completely stock exhaust system (the stainless steel version) and i was wondering whether or not if it's possible to hack off the end can and fit an aftermarket can. I've heard a lot of people say that the stock exhaust system is as good as any other system.

Is it best just leaving the stock exhaust on and not cocking everything up? Would like some straightforward advice. Thanks!

Just joined by the way... The CB-1 is my very first big bike since passing my test and it's an absolute beast to ride!!

When i did mine i just lopped it off at the weld and stuck a stubby on, then eventually got a link pipe made and will soon have a scorpion can on. Didn't cause and running problems and was nice and loud

I've installed an after market exhaust (mity mike) that's customized here in the Philippines. It sure sounds great and really helps to up power. Although you'll need to change your main jets and slow jets to suit your open pipe and adjust/synch your carbs to match your open pipe, well, atleast that's how it's done here.

It also helps to have a nice sounding pipe, cause it really helps to warn pedestrians and other bikers or vehicles that a higher displacement bike is either passing by or behind them...unlike if you have a silent pipe, they can't seem to gauge on how fast your going and might suddenly cross your path...that's just my own opinion.

I was running a Yoshi exhaust system from a super 4 which by the way will fit straight over, if you are going to hack off the end can and get a link  pipe with end can go to a breakers and get a second hand exhaust system that's maybe taken a fall or has had the inner baffle fall in and get it cheap and do it with that. I was delighted to get the oem exhaust system back onto my bike hearing the cam gears whirring is alot nicer than hearing a deafening exhaust note.

Cheers for the info guys! Decided to keep the standard pipe. My -1 does a pretty healthy 120 anyway so there's no need to improve on it. By the  way, however, is it wise to fit a 160/60 rear rather than a standard 140/70 on to a stock wheel?

[yhet43]

I think the 160 on the rear would be oversized for the stock rim.. I use a 150/60 on mine and it snugs perectly and handlind is not compromised.

150/60 works great!

[Mad-1]

150/60 it is! Cheers, guys!

Super four exhaust is same as cb1 , really ?

Yup, i had to get a sliding mount as the mount is in the wrong place too long/ too short. it was a Yoshi exhaust system from an '08 vtec super four

I just bought a used D&D slip-on for $50 and it bolted right up.  It came from an 02 Yamaha R1, and it's been shortened slightly.  It's a bit loud, but the note is nearly the same as an Formula 1 car; brilliant!  The OEM exhaust piping is 2" in diameter, and the OEM slip-on opening is 2.125", so just look for a slip-on pipe with an inlet diameter of 2.125" and you should be good to go!
