FZ6R exhaust, airbox and cool air induction free mods

[Roaddawg]

What are the downfalls of poking a hole in your exhaust? Do you lose HP? Do you lose MPG? Does it pop on deacceleration? Some people have told me to absolutely NOT do that, then I see a lot of people on here do it with no complaints. What have people personally experienced with poking holes in their exhaust other than a louder sound? Cause that's what I'm looking for in an exhaust. But I don't wanna ruin my exhaust and end up having to buy my Two brothers just because I ruined my OEM exhaust by poking holes in it.

I did the 5 min exhaust mod quite a while back and it's great! I have over 31,000 miles and have had no negative issues with it. Runs great, same MPG (except it sounds better, so I tend to rev higher, thus a little less MPG's ). I wouldn't say it makes the exhaust very much louder, but it gives it a deeper rumble that sounds SO much better than the stock. Totally worth doing and you can't even tell I did anything to it...looks completely stock.

When doing the mod, it feels a little barbaric, hammering into the exhaust and all....but trust me, it's worth it. I can afford to buy a new exhaust, but I don't want to spend that kind of money when I think the bike sounds perfect (for me) now with that mod.

What about just changing the air filter to a K&N? I know it might sound stupid, but does that change anything? Engine wise, I'm still as stock as it came out of the crate.

From what ive read there are not noticeable changes by simply upgrading to a K&N filter

That's what I thought. I'm still going to do the air box mod. I can't afford a new exhaust.

Uninstall the air box to drill or cut the bottom. By this occasion, push up all the electric stuff and attach it to have a greater cool air induction like shown in the vid i put the link at start of this thread. Good work.

Hey mon ami! I don't ever remember having anything like this guy to block the hole. I remove most of the junk there with the block off plates long time ago.

Does the rubber rug between the airbox and the engine have anything to do with the airflow? I ended up taking it off last time disassembled the airbox...
