Pity my riding skills dont... wouldnt have binned it in the first place
I had to resort to this bodge tho , tried to order new casing... 6 week wait from Japan and about £200 !!!! This was early 90s , before the wonders of the web , and before i achieved my current riding god ability !
Finally got mine out today, took the rear box off and straight away the little screw that holds the insert in rounded off (even though I was using a nice Britool socket set). So had to drill the head of the bolt off then drill out the actual bolt, awesome. Managed to do all that without marking the exhaust which was nice. Think I'll drill that original thread out and fit a wire insert (helicoil) in there so it works properly next time. After that I just shoved a piece of old broom handle down the exhaust and tapped the insert out from the inside using a rubber mallet.
So, OMG it's loud without the insert fitted! Up in the higher revs is fine but down low it sounds like your local chavs Corsa.
I saw on here somewhere that someone chopped the insert up a bit and rekons the sound is a nice happy medium between stock and insert out, so I'm no exhaust expert so can anyone see any adverse effects from doing that, poor performance, heat build up etc?
If I do try it I'll be ordering a new insert to chop so I still retain the original.

I've done mine it sounds great. .All the db does is reduce noise
and how fast the gases escape, by force the gases
Through the db.

hi rip g , i did the original mod as per the pics on your link, as i said in the link cut just past the spot welds and file round the flange as well ,then i think it sounds just right and put some coppergrease on the screw and just nip it up. then if you want to take it out easy peezy
Only thing I'm thinking is that the exhaust gasses are now having to face a bit of a flat wall while trying to escape, meaning they'll be bouncing back in if you get what I mean.

did you alter the fueling when you first fitted the pipe? if its on the factory settings just wondering if it runs differently with the insert in or out?
ill probably do that mod to mine as in town riding will attract the extortion brigade in uniforms while flame throwing growls will amuse the thaigate massive (in different uniforms) on the weekends...

Another 2 things i forgot to mention were increase the co settings via the clocks (explained elswhere on the forum) to +14 and with the akra will run much smoother, and also since doing my baffle mod and the co settings the fuel readings have gone up to just over 51 mpg from 46.
I finally got around to checking my CO settings last weekend (as I have an Akra) and the dealer had left them on 0.
I changed them to +14 and it's made a big difference in eliminating any snatchyness. Still not perfect, but a LOT better.

is that explained in the manual as ill have no chance of getting a thai to do it......and the manual will be in thai. damn.
Don't think so....
To access the diagnostics menu to review/change your CO settings:
Hold down both the SELECT and RESET buttons and then turn the key so the dash comes on and keep holding the buttons down until "DIAG" appears.
Press SELECT to display CO.
Hold down both the SELECT and RESET buttons again and "1" will appear.
Press SELECT and it will run through "1", "2" & then "3" for each cylinder.
On each of these hold down both buttons until 0 appears (this assumes your dealer hasn't changed the setting already) then use SELECT & RESET to increase or decrease the value.
Once finished on that cylinder press both buttons to save and continue and repeat for the others.
