    My "new" VFR has an aftermarket exhaust. I looked at a lot of 5th gen pictures, hoping to find out what make it is, but so far haven't found a match. 2 Carbon cans, tucked up under the seat, no baffles - straight 2" dia pipes all the way from the cat back. There are perforations and presumably fiberglass pack in the cans. It's loud. Sounds great, but too loud for the street. Anybody recognize it?

    Can't help wondering how close that wheel is to the midpipe. Looks like it would bottom out really easily.

    Nice cans, though.

    I always thought the Wolf was a single can - not dual. But I could be wrong.

    You might be able to see a name or ID if you pull one of those cans off and look. It appears that whoever mounted them might have angled the exhaust tip to their liking, so maybe the name is just hidden from easy view.

    It looks like it may have already hit once or twice. (See Pic #3)

    Thanks, guys. I believe it is a Wolf. Looks almost identical to the ones in the pix, especially the earlier bike. Actually, there is plenty of clearance. I need to get more photos. The clean marks on the cans are hand prints where I was working around under the seat. I added the tool tray myself, and have made some straight through 1" baffles which knock the dB level down nicely without changing the tone. It's a very nicely done but complex system, since the OEM fender and ECU tray had to go to make room for the cans.

    Theres a couple of vids on youtube with Wolf's on 5th Gens. Look identical to your pics. Including the same weird angle on the tips that Pliskin mentioned.

    Affirmative - it is a Wolf from the UK. I have one on my '99. They are getting pretty hard to find and still worth at least a grand if you are lucky enough to find a nice one used.

    Definitely a Wolf. The metal undertray was part of the package. As is the tire hitting characteristic. Good job finding one.

    On further riding, You're right, it's possible for the tire to hit the "Y" under the seat where the mid pipe splits to the two cans. Hit a big whoop and the tire touched, though it seems to have been a very light brush and no damage to either tire or pipe. P.O. had the rear spring cranked to max preload, and I backed it off as I ride solo and am under 150 lbs. I like the pipe. Looks cool and sounds mean, but not so loud as to call cops from a mile away.

    I may also say she flies straight, as that whoop launched us for a good 20 feet!
