So, I ordered a Blue Flame 3D Silver Carbon Dual Outlet Race Can
![]()
the other day and just finished installing it earlier tonight. The reason I chose the particular manufacturer is I had read some good reviews about them and also Pete (Wolf) recommended them as well and if you are aknowledging your competition, then they must be doing something right.
Initial Impression
When I opened the box yesterday, it felt like X-Mas! The can was perfect! The quality of craftmanship was top notch. Everything was nicely polished and fit perfectly. You cannot get the full effect of the 3D effect of the can unless you see it in person. The Silver colored carbon is covered with clear coating of some sort which adds tremendoud depth to it. All the neccessary parts were included, which doesn't always happen with things. There was the mount for the can and relocation brackets for the foot pegs and turn indicators (this one mounts to the back of the stock mud guard, only the parts I used are pictured).

Since I was removing the pegs and have an integrated tail, those pieces were left alone. This thing was a thing of purest beauty. I couldn't get it on my bike fat enough.
Installation
It's pretty straight forward. First, loosen the pipe clamp on the existing slip-on where it meets the collector pipes. The remove the bolt that holds the can to the mounting bracket and the pull the stock piece off. Next, unbolt the liscese plate holder and remove the undertail (just leave it dangling on the wires) and the tail plastics. If you so desire, you can install the foot peg relocation brackets put not the foot pegs at this time. Otherwise, remove both foot pegs and set them off to the side.

Now it's time to re-install the plastics. Once they are re-installed, the tricky part starts. You need to mount the bracket inbetween the liscense plate holder and the undertail and it takes some work to get the bolt holes lined up. Once you get those started, get them tight but leave a little bit of wiggle room in them yet.

I then attached the mid-pipe to the collector pipe and left the pipe clamp untightened and then slid on the can. Once this is done. then you can adjust the mid-pipe for length and rotation in relation to the mouting bracket to get the can to it. Once everything is in alignment, tighten everything down and that's it. Fire it up!

The Sound
The sound is frightening. It's absolutely roars. The carbon can seems to absorb all the metalic ringy-ness to it and leaves it with a deep rumble that is almost V Twin like, only better. It is loud though. It is marked on the end cap "Not for road use" which stands to reason since it is a race can. My wife heard it inside the house while watching tv and I was in the garage 40 feet away with the doors closed (was hoping for a free buzz but I didn't run it near long enough!). I do have a video clip taken with my digital camera (not camcorder) and I will insert the link whenever it gets posted.
