Is this Useful?

Got hold of this end can today and was wondering if it is any use namely for passing sva etc. its a kawasaki and the guy gave it to me saying it makes his bike really quite but looses 10% or 10bhp I cant remember. Is this the type of thing i should put on to pass the tests?

It would be OK if you dont need a cat to get through the emisions, ie pre 1995 engine. But saying that you can put a restrictor in any can to quiten it down for the sva. Its getting through the emisions thats tricky.





I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Thats off a Z1000. Apparently they are very restrictive on the bike but I don't know if it will help get thro' the SVA

I wouldn't bother with this can. For SVA you will need to borrow/hire and can with a cat, after that get yourself a nice unrestricted can - especially worth doing if you have a high flow filter and a dynojet kit fitted.

I used a can borrow free of charge from Powerspeed in Kent, the chap there then made me a bespoke high flow stainless re-packable though reasonably quite (for track days) can - and a lovely piece of work it is too - £200. Let me know if you need his number - excellent service.

Don't even attempt SVA without a lamda kit (I rented mine from Mach #1) and spend time getting the exhaust mainfold WELL sealed (silicone selant), then pray very hard......
