Exhaust question

[BrockGrimes]

Has anyone ever run a buell muffler on an FZ6R?
I've searched and can't find anything.
Just curious since it's also under the bike you'd think the muffler length would work. I know there are 600cc buell blast (bored). So Maybe aftermarket for a 500cc Blast like Jardine?
Looks short enough just wondering if it's been done/researched?

Here's a pic for example:

Pretty much what I do... with a Danmoto instead.

Good idea, but can't run our mufflers there. Our collector comes too far back. I'm no engineer, but I think you'd have to have a SUPER short muffler and/or reweld how the 4 pipes of the manifold come together to shorten them.
^^^ (btw, maybe not true. Just what I think not being next to my bike)

And what if you get gas or oil blowby in your exhaust? You're blasting that right onto your rear tire and can make it slick.

Just a few thoughts

Like a BAWS.

looks a bit long of a can plus out headers need to be modified to accept the can so not so easy. let us know what you do

+1 this. Buell's are Harley V-twins. Much easier to get two pipes into one than 4 into 1. I just don't think there is space there. Even on a bigger bike (FZ1) it still is just not possible.

Like he said not being near the bike it's more of a discussion than fact.
Wish we had a fairly cheap alternative for exhaust.

Marthy prices are best around, both quality and value!

There aren't any cheapie Chinese products that compare of either of those levels!
IMO At the end of the day, you gotta pay someone for their time & efforts to make something.

The blast was actually half of a v-twin, just a single 500cc. No real collector at all, the header just runs straight into the muffler. Also, the exhaust gas pulses of a thumper (1 big pulse every 2 revolutions) are going to be wildly different from an I-4 (2 small pulses every revolution, making for a much more continuous flow). I'm guessing the characteristics of a muffler optimized for one are not the same as a muffler for the other. These aren't straight-through pipes, and the chambers in the muffler are designed to deal with specific resonance characteristics. It might sound "interesting" but doubt it would sound good.

I agree, love my Marthy Viper setup! Best money I ever spent on my bike (including the PCV my wife got me).

Those are the main 2 exhaust available. The Marthy Danmoto on the left and the Two Brothers on the right. Now the one on the left cost 1/2 of what the one on the right cost. So you have a cheap solution... not free but cheaper.

Ah, the one on the right require a fuel controller. The one on the left is safe with the DBK in place... just save an extra $330.00

Or you can wack it yourself. 5 minutes exhaust mod us another option too... but it is what it is.
