I'm in love with the new Marthy carbon can. Looks like an all carbon Viper. :drool:
marthy, the black box is basically junk after you cut it off, correct? i've also done the 5 min mod on it so i figure it's basically junk once it gets shipped to you and you do your thing with it with the slip-on (after i save up of course). couldn't i just cut the box off flush at where the pipe and the black box meet and ship you the rest of it so that i can avoid shipping you something that will eventually be thrown away?
hell yeah. now that's what i'm talkin' 'bout!Yup, cut it off at the seam just behind the box. Think there is a weld there. Saves about 10 lbs.
Thanks Scoot. For dur cut off the can at the 3'' weld mark to save $$$.Yup, cut it off at the seam just behind the box. Think there is a weld there. Saves about 10 lbs.
Great! Eyeball 4 days shipping each way + 1 day to mod. +/-I'm gonna be getting a-hold of you in the near future Marthy! Definitely digging your exhaust! Any idea how long I'll be out of service shipping from Wyoming (82937)? I get my bonus at the end of June. (I'll definitely be ordering the package).
No worries broOther that what's going on in my personal life... other bad news.
The Carbon Fiber can that I was hoping to be the next big thing since slice bread won't work. I had one out for test on my buddy's FZ8 and it pretty much melt the thing apart!
The can rip off in the seams and the end cap got all piss off from the heat. Mne end up ok but I didn't run it that hard that much. I end up putting the Viper back on over the weekend for my ride with my wife... DBK is easier on her.
So my last hope is the Danmoto tri oval. Waiting on a response from them. I talk to them earlier this year and they were ok to custom made one of there can to my size. Might cost a little extra but well... Since the Viper can is in short supply I need another option.
Sorry guys, just as desapointed as some of you.
Can't wait to see one on a 6R :rockon:Trying another option. If some of you remember the Danmoto try oval that Rabbitman got for his FZ1, black anodize aluminum with stainless steel cap. They come in 18" long only I think. I've been going back and forth with them for a bit because I want to find another option than the Viper can since supplies seams to be an issue. So I finally made a deal with them. The can will be customize for our application. Overall length will be similar to the Viper can. Minimum order was 5. I should get them within few weeks to test them and most important, if everyone likes it!
It will cost a bit more since it's custom made but not more than what we actually pay for the Viper can. There's a nice DBKiller available with the can that insert inside the inlet... no hardware required!
Order officially in and payed ( ouch! )
