Is what suki says my bike sounds like now.
So i'm thinking different zorst, now gsx400 zorsts are a little thin on the ground.
I can get a motad from m&p but they're a bit boring.
So i was thinking of making one.
Anyone got any experience with home made jobs?
what are the pitfalls/ benefits if any?
I was wondering about getting a slip on can from summat else probably another 400 but which one?

idea32.gif I think you couldn't go wrong with utilising a Heinz 57 bake bean can as your bike now seems to be a bit of a mongrel. swivel.gif swivel.gif Cheers MAlly grin.gif

my pipe is motad down pipes and a GSXR 750 can, total cost nuffin! i dunno why but even tho its a standard can i gets load as it goes thro the rev range.. Oo1.gif
i thing M & P do a univeral can for a £100 ish if its a 2 into 1 on urs it'll be a matter of welding a pipe the same diameter as the can to the part were the pipes go 2 into 1
a system for mine which uses a uni can is £500! verysad.gif

If you can get the bends on the downpipes correct, you still have to get the can right, unless its going to be a straight through pipe. ooh2.gif I might be easier on the ear drums, just to go for the motad. Plus a straight through would attach the unwanted attention of the bobbies. You could graft a tailpipe (What ever happened to Tina Tailpipe by the way hearts.gif ) onto some other downpipes as woodz has done. It might be the cheapest option but will probably require some more engineering.

A definition of engineering, BD style - to hit something with a hammer, until it fits. cool2.gif

all you'll need is a lathe, milling machine,MIG,TIG, hacksaw ,hamma, the whole snap on range,duck tape, BUPA, bleach, and somewhere to live if it goes wrong!!
did i mention ......
a BIG hamma? eyebrow.gif
almost forgot and an angle grinder to repair the bad engineering,(my fav tool, after the hammer wwww.gif )
