Anyone got any advice or help that i could use before going ahead and buying one of these off E-Bay please??

What works, what doesn't, brands, power lose, recommendations, sites ????

Anything really that i can learn before i buy please

What can is it? measure the outlet, normally the cans are 52mm and if so most DB Killers will fit.

Everyone makes them differently, Scorpion do one of the quieter ones I've seen because they cut the outlet down to 1inch from 2 inches and also block off the end with mesh. Most other DB killers just cut down to 1inch but straight through.

The cheap ones from Ebay which have all the bent metal sticking in are rubbish apparently. Like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOTORCYCLE-MOTORB ... .m14.l1318


We bought from this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DB-KILLER-BAFFLE_ ... .m14.l1318 mainly because Kellys Akra had a 47mm outlet so normal DB Killers wouldnt fit. It fitted well and knocks the sound down a little.

If you just wanna knock a few DB of the sound then get one above but if you are planning to do super quiet trackdays best try for a quieter baffle.

I have used the ones above to good effect

can you not get someone to make one up for you mate ??

Most manufacturers now make one up that is bespoke to their cans.

Cheers guys

Oh and thanks Gav was looking at that cheap thing to

Bikes going into Steves at Peak tomorrow for a suspension set up (even with the fork seals done it just tips in and stays where you put it MEGA)

Sooooooo excited Will see what he recommends about cutting the noise down and if he thinks it needs to.

If not got some great ideas here cheers chaps

you could take a bimble down to plymouth and go to sidekick exhausts and get paul to make you one up

Wheres SIDEKICK to ?? Oh and bikes off the road again now at mo. Steve wasn't too impressed with me using long life (or life time guarantee ) fork seals as they are soooo tight they stop the forks from rebounding

I knew something wasn't right

its on the industrial estate above ocean bmw @ marsh mills

is steve fitting decent seals for you then. speak to ian about longlife seals as i think thats what he fitted to his gsxr

Yeah Steve has the forks as we speak. I wipped them off quickly on friday and dropped them in after he diagnossed the problem. He knew exactly what i fitted before i said anything. Thought it would be better for him to do them and change the oil from a 10 i put in to a 7.5 he recommends. This way it saves me paying for a couple hours labour and i know its done properly. Then it will be back in for the set up. Can't wait

Saw Ian today and tried to get him to come to Donny but the noise is going to be a prob he said. Yeah yeah i said more like scared

good man,nice fresh forks for donny fair play to you
might get a k-tech kit for mine fitted and a peak perf set-up in a few weeks

How bleedin hard is it to find a DB killer that will fit. The prob i got is i am running an FMF can which as most of you know are from the Moto x world and started experimenting with sports bikes.

The end spout is about 50mm which i heard is normal but most of the ones i have seen are angled at the end as to fit most side mounted cans. Mine is a under seat can and so the spout is near enough straight out.

Looks like i will have to bite the bullet and buy one of those cheap ones Gav said was cr*p. Only a tenner and he says he has used one at Donny on a quiet day. Plus the thing is straight

I bleedin find any sites that really sell them

Blimey ive got one of those cheapo ones from ebay and ive found it works rather well if you wrap it in baffle packing before you put it in. But it is most probably more restrictive than a decent one.

give paul a bell down at sidekick and explain what you want or find a different branded can that has the same diameter and buy the baffle for that one

Thanks for the tip deej but derek at CMS let me try one out of the shop and it fits sort of ok.

Fitted it today and has quieted it down some and lost lots of horses. It hardly lifts the front under hard acceleration in 1st now
