gayest thread I've ever made (bike can on vr?)
« on: 20 April 2011, 20:46 »
I have a vr6 which is pretty much euro look. It needs some work and tiding up. Basically I want to sort the rear bumper out, it's already been fully smoothed and colour coded. I want to hide the exhaust and smooth the rear valance, deleting the exhaust cut out.
Now this got me thinking for a new back box  :grin: I love the sound of the vr6 and I like it loud, really loud. So why not a bike can? it's small and easy to hide plus it will give a great sound. What are your thoughts on this? is there a bike can big enough?

Good luck flowing nearly 3 liters through a bike can!

you can hide a standard exhaust behind the bumper anyway

Well he did say it wanted to hide them... I sure he wouldn't want it to look like:



You don't need four to look daft, odd placed bike can on polo bread van.



Tweed, you say you want it loud, how about just deleting the rear silence altogether and just pipe it?
