I'm going to try this method as well by cutting and welding a new tip. I'm quite excited for it
I thought about doing this exact same thing. I have already done the "5 minute exhaust mod" and was wondering how much more sound I would get by just drilling a few small holes around the perimeter of the weld. Anyone think this would work and sound just as good in conjunction with the "5 min mod"?Per the pictures on page 7 of this thread can I essentially just put on an exhaust tip and drill some holes and get a change in the sound that would be better than stock? I don't know anyone who welds and I don't want to pay someone. I was given an exhaust tip for free so basically I'm looking to spend no money and get some kind of better sound than stock. I'd rather not even cut of the original 1 1/4" pipe. The exhaust tip I have has three screws at the base that I'm going to drill into the sides of the stock tip and have it mount that way instead of welding it on. Please don't mind the simple question, I'm new to the motorcycle world so still learning how mods will affect the bike. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
I ended up doing the "5 min mod" after some good feedback form other members and I get a better sound at idle but I barely notice any sound difference when riding or revving. I've made the hole as big as I can with the room I have to work with but I'm hesitant to drill any holes on the outside. Every now and then I hear a little kickback when I rev the bike so I'm wary to do any further mods for fear of screwing with the exhaust too much. I would like an even better sound too, but not at the expense of ruining the exhaust or any other part of the bike. Just something to think about SloRider. But I am still open to any thoughts on free mods to improve the sound.I thought about doing this exact same thing.

do you know if this mod will void the warranty? anyone?NEWBIE IN DA HOUSE!!!
So I bought my FZ6R a month ago. Is my first bike! Friday I went to the dealer for her first pampering session (first maintanance). Boy was I excited for her but then we were sadden... As I was getting ready to leave the dealer with my new gear and pride, a fellow rider got on a Yamaha scooter and put me and Stig Raven to shame! It was louder then my FZ6R! THE HORROR! He had a TB exhaust system! Sounded beautiful, but now i just look like _______ . So I took the leap and did this mod. I LOVE IT! To be clear, butterflies in my stomach love it! Thank You guys for the post!
Now I have a few questions that may have been answered. Please be kind.
IMMEDIATELY I noticed a change. When I roll on the throttle, It had much more aggresion to it. Less "Zippy" more aggresive. It was a scary fun feeling. Kind of like my brother-in-laws GSX 750. Did anyone else experience this beauty?
Also before the mod, I would loose revs fairly quickly if i lay off the throttle. Now it gradually decreases as if it was supercharged or something. Along with the beautiful sound, I love that. Did anyone notice that?
Sorry one more thing.. Between 4k-8k RPM feels more like the old 7k-10k RPM. Which goes back to the above question. Did this happen to you?
Thank You in advance!

Looking good.Did the mod today... It sounds great!
Here's a quick picture.. I'll get a video tomorrow
Sweet can we get a side view? Yea loved that mod now love my full exhaust lolThis mod is the best thing i have done so far. I love the aggressive sound when bringing the revs up and the mean growl when i let off the throttle. Its a beautiful thing.
Like the blacked out lookYea,went with a longer pipe.View attachment 29149
Most that likely you will loose top end power and if you are way too lean the throttle transition won't be smooth. It's one of those things... you need to do it all or not at all. If you just mod the stock exhaust a bit, it's fine.I'm still a little confused on if this will create back pressure problems or make the bike run too lean. And will I lose low or high end torque? Obviously I'm talking about without a PCv or juice box. Any help is appreciated
