hello people.

just signed up after scoring my 08 xtz with 5500 on the the clock to replace my old Dakar.

fitted a MTC can yesterday to give it a bit more presence as I use it as a work bike in and around London.

no drama fitting the can, but my word its popping like a *******!..

can I get a heads up about ais pipe blocking.

stay cool...

sorry guys.

I`m down with the popping, but every now and then its like a shotgun, a real bang!.

clamps are nice and tight, no leaking, my old Dakar popped a bit with scorpion end can, no db killer, but this is a proper bang!

is this standard with MTC single can?

cheers and thanks for advice..

jong.....

lol that sounds ace hope mine will do the same

Now that you have explained that your exhausts is a 2 into 1 system then yes, the popping is common with these system. There's a lot of compressed gases to be forced through one single exhaust therefore snap, crackle and pop is something you'll have to live with.

I fitted a Leo Vince pipe last week, when u throttled off it sounded like
a sniper rifle. AIS now blanked off and now only an occasional backfire.
On the basis I'm off to Mongolia in May via Iran, I thought it prudent to remove
the backfire as theres no guarantee in remote areas the locals wouldn't fire back :-s

CaptMoto, Good video is that your bike?
I wonder if the girls go Snap..Crackle and Pop
