FZ6R 2012 Exhaust upgrade

[alexmarin99]

When I woke up this morning, I decided to upgrade my 2012 FZ6R exhaust.
So here I am, wondering which exhaust I should get...

First of all, I live in Canada, and the price for a TBR exhaust is 1.5k$ CAD + taxes, which is more than I can afford at the moment.

So here are 2 solutions I've seen on the interwebz:

1. I've read that other people take the headers of an older R6 and put a slip-on. Or can I just keep my current headers, cut before the can and the put a slip-on? (I would need and adapter or something)
What are the weight savings and performance gains and how does it sound? Which slip-on is better and how much will it cost?

2. I've also read that people decide to go with Marthy's exhaust. On his website I see that only the Delkevic DS-70 is available ( is there another one avalable? I don't really like the design) and it will be US $375 to ship to Canada. So basically,it's an exhaust from another company and it comes with an adapter for the FZ6R pipe, so it's the same as the first solution? (Not trying to be mean or anything Marty, I just want to be informed before I make a decision) Yes this seems as an easy solution, but is there a better one?

The more information you can provide me, the better!
Thank you!

5-10 pounds of weight savings
4-7hp gain
sound.... well, yeah, it will be louder and the specific sound depends on the slip-on.

You'll have to check directly with Marthy to see if he has anything left, he did one heck a run a few years back and got us all set up. Now, he's taken a break, but has done a small number of runs. If you have welding skills, he is still more than happy to share his experience to do it yourself, for those of us without the tools, we paid him for his time (he went through many trials on his own bike to make it perfect). If you're lucky enough to get the viper, it's a nice package, but if I remember right, Marthy had issues getting them in after his initial orders.

Just PM him with all your questions, he's a rider, not a seller looking to make a living off this, so he's great to work with.

Talking about exhausts...

I was going to stop making them this year but felt bad of dropping the ball at the last minute thinking that some of you might have plan or saved money to get one.

Not so many exhaust later... If some of you were considering getting a Marthy exhaust make sure not to wait too long. I will take order for another month or so, maybe 3 pushing it. Then I will stop building exhaust and move on to ither projects.

Get on this deal asap people! There's no better deal other than stealing an exhaust. LOL! Great bang for the buck.

Bummer. I was planning on figuring out if I wanted to try Marthy's solution closer to winter so I wouldn't have the bike out of action when the weather warrants riding. I figure pulling off the headers and installing the kit over the winter was the best bet.

Oh well. Good luck in your next project Marthy. I'm new to the FZ6R and the forum but sounded like you helped out a ton of folks with your exhaust solution. I've ran across a lot of other helpful stuff you posted searching on this forum and you've had a lot of content that was very helpful to me. Can't wait to see what else you figure out next.
