Featured A Bit Of Work Done.

looking good

 

Very nice improvements!

 

Hurry up ellerslie - that's just a teaser photo!

Which version did you get? Mine's a GP1 170mm titanium can with black ceramic tip and laser etched logo.

When you say LOUD...you mean without baffle...right? I'd say it's very acceptable with the baffle in - a really lovely level of sound.

Please post up once you've ridden it - I'm interested to know what you think of the change to the handling and engine characteristics.

I cut the outer end of my baffle down slightly so it sits flush with the inside of the can. AR leave it sticking out so you can grab it with pliers if it becomes hard to extract. I figured that it's just as easy to whip the can off and push it out from the inside - I'm fussy about things lining up though...so perhaps ignore me (plus I had a spare baffle to play with)

 

Stupid me...when I said I had the GP3, I meant GP1 for the can. It's confusing enough as it is. The GP1R reference, relates to just the tip.

(Edit: The system is called the GP3, the can is a GP1, and the tip is a GP1R. Simples)

The 170mm can is 104db without baffle / 98db with baffle. If you went for the shorter 110mm can, then it's 105db without baffle; 100db with baffle.

So if you also have the shorter GP1 can, you're louder than me.

A 2db difference doesn't sound much, but the db scale means that the sound level doubles every 6db.

 

Very nice ellerslie - that extra short pipe looks brilliant, and the tip matches the heat shield nicely too.

Let me know what you think once you've ridden it

 

Looks great. How is the power output from it? Notice any less in the low to mid range?

 

Looks damn good!!

 

Agree looks damn good big difference

 

I'm fretting because I think I prefer your short can

The only consolation is mine is bigger than yours

 

That would ruin the matchy matchy exhaust tip and heat shield that you have going on.

You've got some good contrast with the light shield against the dark belly pan that helps to define the shapes and make it look interesting (whereas mine is the opposite with dark shield against the white belly).

I'm overthinking this as usual

 

Mr Triple
Looks good to me.

I'm thinking we start a self help group for people that bought stuff and have doubts as to whether they made the right choices.

I will lend ellerslie my heat shield in exchange for a week with his little can

 

I think it looks great.

 

Ellerslie
Agree with you. They sound great with baffles in just a terrific machine all-round.
Ride Safe
Joe.
