my r6 header set up

[KADO]

Just need to make sure you get the 03-05 r6 headers. There is a little modification that will need to be done to get them to pass under the oil pain but it is nothing horrific.

Don't know if you have seen this thread yet http://www.600cc.org/forum/f89/r6-headers-15797/?highlight=headers, but there is some info in there that may help you out. I didn't go the R6 headers way, I bought a Two Bros system but would've went this route if I had the tools.

thanks man..i think i may try this r6 header thing i hope it work i dont wanna have to cut and weld..well see wat happens i guess

 

[rsx2002]

i was just thinkin if i do go with the 03-05 headers. if i just buy an exhaust system for the r6 in that year would it work i want the shorty look..would that be feezable you think ?

Yea that would be totally feezable. Whenever you get the r6 headers, you open yourself up to a wide range of exhausts that you can put on. Almost any exhaust made for the r6 will fit with those headers. I personally like the midship exhaust but thats just me.

 

[rsx2002]

i do to but i think it would be more of a pain to fab it up...i really like the look and sound of the race line and termg. exhaust...i want some thats goin to bark..and make ppl look twice...ha i cant wait to try this..hope it works out well

I don't like this look, and I don't see a reason to spend even one $ on modding the bike. I think the Japanese engineers did a great job here and this is the reason I bought this bike.
Would I want sound, power or side exhaust, I will upgrade to the Fz1

you will need a PC V seeing as the you are basically doing a straight pipe

 

[rsx2002]

ya im goin to get the pc and the auto tuner i think and get the r6 header with the MGP exhaust from the 2006 and up r6 but im just tryin to figure out if its goin to work out or not...

 

[cavcuz05]

yeah i was going to try and put the stock 09 r6 style with out modding the header i couldn't find a place to mount it...but good luck in your project im currently waiting on mine to get back from the dyno tune

 

[rsx2002]

really hmm im thinking maybe i should stick with the 03 to 05 stuff then..what do u have exactly on urs now ?

How about modding something from other midship design bikes with more aftermarket support? Here is an exhaust for a Honda cbr1000rr for $275 that could be modded, quite easily, I'd imagine, to fit our bikes. I am sure there are others for that bike and possibly for Buell and other midship exhaust bikes.

Here is the same thing for the Yamaha R6, $275, it is longer but appears to be short enough that it would bolt to a small bracket mounted to the footpeg or rearset. There is a sound clip and video.

This thread has given me new ideas, I was ready to drop $760 on a 2Bros...thanks!

looks interesting and tempting...pretty much what ever you buy it will need some slight modding...with mine however if i ever wanted to sell the slipon to an r6s guy i could cause i didnt cut anything at all everything fit like a charm just need a custom rear mount

So true. I am sure it is just a matter of time until the aftermarket catches up to us on the FZ6R. It is, after all, a first year bike at this point...but, I gotta say, a great bike at a great price. That said, again, just a matter of time.

cavcuz05, are you the only one who has R6 headers and a side mounted exhaust on our bikes? If anyone else has it done can you post up pictures. Thanks.
