Hey guys, SO
I just picked up 1999-2002 (-05'?) Headers for an R6. I finally decided to go for the DIY and just do it instead of spending 1K ish for the full system.
I picked up the headers for $9.99 shipped, a Yoshi Midpipe for $20.00 shipped, and a TBR Juice box for $160. For under $200 all together, I'm pretty happy, over the $850 option to to M4 or the $1000ish to go TBR carbon fiber. I plan on installing it all this weekend in my spare time, and just set the juice box to run a little rich until I can afford to pick up a GYTR slip on. I asked the dealership in town if it would be okay to run straight until next payday, and he said it'll be fine, so long as I run a little rich. And I don't mind the loudness either, maybe I'll end up liking it
In the meantime, can you guys give me some tips on installation? Other than bending, what all has to be done to the headers? I hear the engine block is exactly the same on the 6R as on the 1999-02' R6, so it should just bolt right up into the ports, right?
Thanks in advance

I completely expected the loudness though. Haven't taken it out to ride yet because it started raining RIGHT after I finished install but I'll get around to it tomorrow.
