Help Wanted for a bit of R+D! What size is your Exhaust Can??? (Poll)
Right, I'll try again - For some reason, this site changed my "poll options"!!
Hi All,
I'm doing a bit of R+D - Can you take part in the above Poll to tell me what size your exhaust can is please?
Feel free to make a comment on why yours is that size and why you chose that one ie noise etc.
And, I know this is asking a lot, but if yould also tell me the length of the can. that would help out a lot too!!!
TIA
Steve

Can't give you the diameter Steve but the length is 500mm. We bought it cos it's a straight through race can & sounds awesome IMO

Mine is 10" but is a stainless one from a Passat 1.9 TDI - soon to be replaced by a GSXR1100 jobbie
Oh, and the poll is broken again
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Hinty - try not putting any quotes in the poll; I'd guess it's messing up the site's code....

That's what I thought at first - I've deleted and tried again, but I don't think I can edit the poll options now though, can I?

Standardish R1 carbon type can (however big that is. Not much help am I??). 90 deg rolled end tail pipe welded on.
It was cheap and it does the job.
I just need two more to fit on the velocity stacks to quieten the induction noise and it will be bearable!

Assuming your R&D is about sound levels then I find that longer is better than fatter, but longer AND fatter is best.
The number of bends in the primaries has an effect too.

p.s. Haven't clicked the poll as I didn't see the point.

surely on a properly designed system its relative to the engine fitted/revs/peak torque and tube diameter?
Dont ask me about the above as I spent about 3 weeks doing the maths for mine

No it's not - I want to know the diameter and length of the exhausts most popular for reasons other than noise.....
Knowing the Dims is all I need.........

Thanks Paul, is that pretty standard to what you've been producing for people?

Far from it.
In fact I've never made one of that design or size for anyone.
It's just what I made for the Lotus.
