well, i've been toying with the idea of putting a nice bike can on my mk2 escort, its already got bike carbs on so i thought they'd compliment each other nicley, anyway, popped a bid on this earlier n realised i'd won it, for £11, think it'll look well polished up. i know its not everyones cup of tea, but hey ho, lol.

Would think you might struggle to match up the ex tube from your car up to that can as they are tiny compared to most car exhausts. Even if you do get it to fit it would probable "strangle" the gasses trying to exit and in turn slow you down.

sounds like a bargain to me!

I had one on the back of my old k series rover & RichieRich off here had one on his 1300e till the baffles fell out.

 

They sound good :thumbsup:

no i dont think so, i've checked the bore, its got an internal bore of 52mm, so its the same size as my current exhaust system, it'll match straight up (after bracket and mounting plates, etc etc are made), and most bike end cans are straight through, no bends, so it should, in theory, :? , be a better flowing exhaust than my normal back box, again, i say, in theory, :?:D , and hety, if its not, ill just buy a bike to bolt to the front of it, :mrgreen:

right, it turned up today, so i had to measure it up and see if it was actually big enough, (i had a vision it wasn't goin to be, lol) and guess what?? its actually bigger than my exhaust system, as the pics show, its a 60mm inlet and 50mm outlet, so i should have no worries with matching up my 50mm system to this, yippee!!!

see, this what i keep telling people when they say bike cans are too small for cars, i just tell them to look at the high power bikes with big cans n then tell me they're too small, lol, how long till its on?

two mates of mine have tried bike cans on there cars and are now both in the bin as these are designed for short primerys/tuned length. on a car they seem to strangle the performance due to the length of a car system.give it a go you might get lucky

anyone know any bike cans thatll fit over/have 2" pipes fit over onto em?

 

i.e. 50.8mm ID

just keep an eye out on febay, thats where i got mine from, ive seen loads on there with a 51mm inlet, look for the "slip on cans", not the bolt on ones.
