The tube size leading into the silencer on mine is 60mm ouside diameter.

R1 can does not flow well, but is quiet... The exhaust gases take a convoluted route through various chambers inside the can.
No problem fitting a bike can to something like a x-flow. I wouldn't fit one to anything more meaty personally.

They aren't the best but they aren't too bad flowing, I fitted one to my 2003 R1 BEC as a "temporary" thing until I fitted a
large repackable can, and it still gave 137bhp at the wheels on the rollers, and Richard Miles' Striker R1 a bit more, which considering the
engine is 150bhp at the crank stock, isnt too bad at all.

Cation! The R1 cans I chopped up were indeed 60mm OD on the inlet, but they achive extra silencing by cunnings having a secondary, perforated tube
inside with thin layer of wadding inbetween.
Probably a show thing as well - I doubt a 150bhp bike engine needs more than a 50mm pipe but 60mm looks more mean
So if you chop the can off and expect to be easily able to connect another 60mm ish pipe to it, forget it.
Try some of the other bike cans eg Fireblade, anything where the pipe is detachable from the can. Then you can just weld a flange to thed of your
pipe and bolt the can on.

Rav,
Do you know far along the pipe the perforated pipe runs? I bought an R1 can recently for my crossflow and the pipe isnt straight so I was wondering
about trimming it down to tidy it up a bit.
I dont want to be cutting into that separated tube bit if I can help it.
