Re: Info on making my own exhausts ...

you cant tell when a Honda cct is going to give up the will to live best options are to do the stopper mod or go for the mcct either of these will save you a rebuild Stopper mod done, was actually a piece of cake :) 12 mm in the back and 11 in the front :thumbup: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlqrdyrjm...

Re: Info on making my own exhausts ...

Bigger internal diameter 60mm with a long 500mm can will sound very deep but not bark if you know what I mean . The quill cans have a 55 or 57mm internal and 470mm long and by far the they sound deep and dirty . Ask anyone who has them without baffles Still dont get the use of bigger internal diame...

Re: Info on making my own exhausts ...

Length is a factor - stubbies are very noisy. Why not find a damaged aftermarket can, dismantle and see if you can duplicate it with some reverse engineering.
