Anyone used the "kitpartsdirect" or GBS exhaust?

Has anyone used one of these, quite cheap and is S/S but not sure how restrictive it is etc. Also claims to have SVA safe end but not sure the can itself would be ok?

If it's for your ZX12 Indy, I think you'll be dissapointed in the quality and performance from what I've seen of RH exhausts.
But I'll stand to be contradicted...

Yeah it's for the ZX12. TBH I just want something cheap to get it through SVA then I'll buy a decent bike can I reckon. I have thought about buying a bike can straight away but not sure how good they are for SVA noise wise?

Also looking at this Delkevic Titanium job which looks SVA ok (ish).

Cheaper option may well be to have a standard -raod legal-quiet bike can as these do tend to go cheap as people chuck them for aftermarket jobbies.
mine went through sva no problem with an R1 can. I think some have passed with MK's silencer.

Go for the bike can,my
mate has one of these cans and it needed
a heatshield to pass sva.
not very easy on the eye either.

Did they need heat shield on the Robin Hood jobbie? I take it that was more for the radius?

mk will do you a can for around £150 i know its another £65 but thats about the same BHP that one ebay will rob from your 12R

Hi Mate
Yea I used one of those.
No prob's noise wise for the SVA
with my Pinto. 98db
Not sure what a ZX12 would make of it though.
It will need to be covered for the SVA though, ends are not radiused.
Don't pay more than £70.Even though it says £85 buy it now.

We used one of those (we're still using it) for our SVA, no problems at all. The sound-deadening doesn't last forever though, they're quite loud after a while

Had one on my car for SVA just used some edge trim round the end whch was still on 3 years later although it was getting a bit load. Noise at SVA 98 decibels IIRC
