Got the exhausts fitted this evening but was a bit dark by the time I had finished, so will get photos tomorrow.

There are 2 baffles to fit, the normal one at the end of the can is already fitted with a C clip holding it in but there is a cone shaped one to put in at the pipe connection end nearer the engine, and they didn't want to go in so have left them out for now, its a bit loud so going to try taking it apart again to get them fitted somehow, plus I think I would be in trouble with the powers that be if checked...

Like the look of them though and they do sound nice, even if loud!

Glad you are happy with them even if a tad loud. I can't remember the internal restricters making that much of a difference with the noise but from memory they can be fitted pointy end towards front or back of the bike.

Yeah I really like them and I also like the noise they make but more worried about being fined for not having the baffle in, at least if its in and its still loud it will be within the legal requirements

I didn't realise they could be fitted pointy end towards the engine side, that would maybe work for me, the problem was the lip at the end of the baffle was the same size as the pipe on the end can and that meant the pipe coming from the engine side wouldn't slide in. I didnt want to force it in and either risk damaging something or getting it so stuck it cant come out again...

Got the extra baffles put in today, I just used the dremel to smooth off the edges a bit and managed to get them fitting well, so im fully legal now!
The noise has reduced slightly but not too much and still has a nice deep tone to it, so im pretty pleased with the end result!

Will add pictures and/or video when I get some time.

I have this photo for now, will get better ones later, I will try to get a better video also as the one I have doesn't do them justice, its not really revving much as I was in the underground car park at my office, so quite loud in there!

Cheers, the trusty dremel sorted it out easy enough once I checked it properly in daylight and realised it was only slightly too big.

I got some more photos yesterday for those who are interested.

I also took a couple of short videos of the sound but don't think the iPhone microphone does them justice. They sound much better in real life than on the recording...
