End can

So after much umming and ahhing, I'm leaning towards a Blue Flame Powerport
can (even though they're fucking ugly and not exactly cheap - about 300
quid for a titanium one!) for the Bandit, but I'm having trouble finding
any dyno charts suggesting what kind of power increase I'm likely to see.

Don't suppose anyone's got one and can vouch for them?

 

It's all in your head anyway, so why not just find out if it looks/sounds
nice.

 

err...you don't like the look, you think they're expensive, you've no
idea of whether or not they're any good....why?

I have a carbon Blue Flame race can on the 'blade - it's nice.

 

"Paging Mr Ray Stringer, Mr Ray Stinger, paging Mr Ray Stringer".

 

Cos I like the legal/not-legal gimmick and I'm a fool with more money (ha!)
than sense.

 

Don't Akrapovic do one of those ones where you can remove the baffles
now?

Can't see anything on their websbite, though.

 

Umm, well then might I suggest "Devil" to sir? They do the same type of
thing with the baffle but don't look butt-ugly.

You can give me some money if you've got too much. I promise to spend
it on things you may or may not like.

 

I have one of the new Evos sitting behind the counter at the shop.
Nice ZX9R C2 can. Shame I can't afford to put it on the bike yet.

As such, I've not had a chance to try it out yet, but I'll quote one
of the salesmen at BF:

"One of the bosses has a Blade with a carbon can er...race can on &
they took it to be dyno'd. With the Evo in full legal mode, it made 5
horses more than the carbon can, with the baffles removed (there's 2
ports/sets of baffles) with the baffles out it made 7 more."

Well, this is coming from a salesman so should always be taken with a
pinch of salt, but even taking that into account, it would explain why
BF aren't bothing to make race cans any more.

Personally, I think the v shiny stainless cans are lovely, and at £219
notes are a good price for an oval, dual port, removable baffle
replacement can.
