Guides Coring cans on 04 onwards models

How To Guides
many thanks for the very good and detailed instructions,just one question if i core my cans do i need to remap or will i get away without mate,many thanks for your help.

If it's not on the latest map 2 get it done, the best option is a PC111 and get a custom map done to suit your bike and mods:thumbup
 
gotta admit i just tend to buy bikes and ride them as they are (too tight to buy lots of mods). heard the cored cans and they sound so awesome i was wondering how much would getting remap and set up cost?? any ideas??
secondly i love the sound but can't quantify the actual volume - how likely is it that i'd get pulled riding with them on the road??
 
Can a standard RSV can be cored, you know the large heavy shitey thing they put on as standard.
 
Any of you guys managed to do them yet then?

hi badger

Excellent write up mate. Really impressed. I see it was done quite sometime ago well before i was a member of this forum.

Had my 04 rsv for just over 2 months now, it came fitted with stainless race cans made by the carbon can company. Not the best i know but better than the originals. Not even sure if the bike is set up properly for them.

Im gutted the bloke i brought the bike from didnt have the originals other wise this would be a perfect little project for me in my dinner break at work (machine shop).

Im deffo gonna look out for some second hand originals and give it a whirl.

Thanks for the details description :thumbup

Glad to be of help mate, standard cans can be picked up pretty cheap, but make sure they are from an 04 or 05 model, after i came off my 04 and trashed the cored cans i thought i would just core the standard cans of my 06 bike as it is just for track use (the 04 that is), i discovered the 06 onwards cans do not fit the 04/05 model without a bit of modding.

Just a quick tip that will maybe save you some hassle:thumbup
 
Oh, its great timing I saw this thread! I picked up a spare set of stock cans from a friend specifically for this mod. And now I have my instruction manual! Thanks!!
 
Another thought; I'd like to shorten the over all length of the cans. Would that make them too loud?
 
I would personally not make them shorter as it will more than likely affect the performance.
 
I finished the mod a few weeks ago and am very happy with the results. They were too loud at first, but have broken in and quieted down a bit. Still very loud, but I'm not worried about getting pulled over any more.

I got my perforated cores, adapters, rivets and silent sport muffler packing from Area P in Santa Ana. Total cost was about $170.00 :)

Excellent write up! I printed it out and used it every step of the way. I left my cats in btw. Oh and had it switched to map 2!

Glad to be of help mate, you seem a happy man now:thumbup

Funny clips BTW:biggrin
 
Eyup Badger, I've just bought an 07 Mille R, after owning an 02 Mille for 5 years. I can't afford a decent set of cans yet, so this might be the way to go for me, before I go to the TT. You said the later models have different cans, is that just for fitting, or is the mod different in any way? You also mention going to map 2. On my 02 I just snipped the wire to the ECU, is it the same with the new shaped ones? Also, on the old one, i dropped a tooth on the front sprocket, for the road. Is it summat to do on the new mille's, because mine seems a bit jerky in traffic. Hope I'm not being a pain, but only had bike a month, and although I did loads of mods to the 02 mille,I'd like to know what the best mods are for my 07 mille.
Cheers,
Foxy
 
Foxy, i don't think the cans internals are different so the mod should be the same, at the end of the day you are just turning your standard cans into race cans, although they will still be a bit heavier.

You must get an Aprilia dealer to convert to map2 as it needs an axone to do this job, allow about £30 for this.

I run 15/43 on my road bike, but i reckon you want to go at least a 15 on the front, this will give you 15/40, depends how much more arm stretching you want, if you want more go with a 42 or 43 on the rear, any more you will need a larger chain.

The cans are a bit time consuming, but well worth the effort in the end, here is mine fitted to my 04 factory track bike, the picture is on it's side so the bike can get used to it:pirate

I have a set of Blueflame evo cans on mine, which are not the best but they sound awsome....Is this worth doing to my original cans? Would they be alot louder than the Blueflame ones??
