can for mot
markyb - 20/8/12 at 05:48 PM

looking some advice on getting a cheap can for mot time

Due to my very long MNR silencer there is not room to fit a cat in for test time so I was planning on replacing it with a cheap bike can and cat for mot time

Having read other threads on here it looks like my best option would be to get a can from a bandit and get an adapter to make it slip on from here

There are plenty of cheap cans on ebay but dont know much about bike silencers - are there certain years that would be best or would any one do ?

thanks in advance

R1 cans are cheap and fairly quiet.

The non titanium ones can be cut and welded to fit a car.

I bought a titanium one by mistake so just cut it and clamped it on.

I plan to only use the can and cat for the mot (although I did briefly consider an R1 carbon can as a permanent silencer)

forgot to add I havent access to a welder and am too cheap to pay someone to to do the work if I can possibly avoid it

also does anyone know the length of a bandit can ?
