Oooo, that's still kinda spendy, has anyone tryied to do a custom exhaust for our bikes?, like go to a muffler shop and get a exhaust bent? and then just get a slip on and call it a full exhaust?
with the amount of research and technology that goes into these systems, i dont think i would just have a muffler shop bend something up, besides, the akrapovic evolution system is full titanium and weighs about 6 1/2 pounds.
I see your point. I guess an akrapovic slip-on is good enough for me, for starters. I know the system's only put out like an extra 5whp which people say is enough in order to feel it. How much HP i'm i looking at with a slip-on?
dont know, maybe 1-3 more w/ pcIII, also keep in mind, u do not need to worry so much about horsepower numbers solely. that slip-on might only give you a ouple hp, but it will most certainly shave off some weight. if i remember correctly, the stock system for 05-06, weighs about 12 lbs, the titanium akra system weighs abou 6 lbs. half the weight on top of a couple ponies, :clap .
as far as i'm concerned, my bike makes plenty of power, more than i can fully use with my level of riding, at least til i get thru racing school, and get more track time under my belt. so for now, my first mods, besides appearance items, will be an Ohlins rear shock and pilot powers. something to consider, with the right suspension set-up and tires, the powerband will get to the ground the way its supposed to, and you will feel that as well.
Yea i'll probably wait to get through the MSF school before i do anything to my bike, and also i have a few nice twisty road's behind my house where i always practice on.....
does anyone have any experience with the two brothers dual pipe set up? i like the look, but am not convinced of the sound yet. anyone know of sound clips?

I've got these pipes on my bike. They are BY FAR the best sounding pipe on the market right now. I get compliments on them wherever I go. The carbon-weave is definately worth the extra cost as well. The system is a very low rumble and almost cruiser like at idle, but when the revs get up this things screams! I highly recommend it.
a muffler shop that can mandrel bend can make you a system that would compete with aftermarket. exhaust is not as critical as people put into it. as long as it flows freely.
I thought about having my buddy who owns a shop use stainless and bend me a dual undertail system. ebay had a pair of small carbon fiber generic cannisters that were short and nice looking for a while. they are gone now.

I got to agree with you here. Had a very reputable shop here in South Africa (that do a lot of custom exhaust work - TNT Exhausts) build me a full system for around R1200.00 (about 160 Dollars U.S) and along with a Dicktator Management system, looks - performs & sounds TOP!

Preface: Been troubleshooting this the last few days on a bike I brought back to life out of someone's building after about two years of sitting. Replaced top end because it dropped a valve before it was parked, then replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter and plugs because the pump was bad...
Has anyone experienced this I can ride all the way from fall to the end of spring but when it gets hot ( over 90 degrees) the bike gets to got in town and shuts off can someone offer a direction to look. I've changed the coolant and replaced the water pump seals.
Hi guys,
I don’t have a lot of knowledge when it comes to ZX6R’s and even less when it comes to the 6RR. I own a few ZXR 750’s including a 93 homologation model (M1). There’s a 2004 ZX6RR for sale that I’m interested in, mainly because i believe it’s the homologation model. My question is...
Hey guys! I'm looking for some help with a bike my friend purchased(01 zx6r). I rode it back for him after the purchase and it struggled to go over 60 mph on the freeway. Although it did reach 70 mph a couple times before loss of acceleration(it felt like it just wanted to stall out) and it...
New to this so stay with me here... got a 2004 zx636 and at the end of the season last year it wouldn’t start one day, kept messing with it and eventually it did start. Next day tried starting it and nothing...found that the fuel pump wasn’t priming, replaced the fuel pump and still nothing(...
