truth
truth is the used pipe i bought had scatches from a fall. so the thermo was the cheapest way 2 do it, plus since i have a black bike black wrap looks kool. now for some b/s thermo wrap is a horse power saving tool, it keeps the air warm so it exits quikly, plus keep other componets from heatin up and maitaining the hp power band. lol at least the package said somthin like that

Whats anyone think about mounting an 06-09 R6 exhaust onto our bikes? They got the big catalitic converter mounted onto it, but it can esaily be replaced with a midpipe section.. Also if it did mount up it has an o2 bung welded to the cat, so one could do wideband tuning...
Just thinking because there is a local one on craigslist I am trying to get..
Its such as waste to talk to most guys on craigslist though.. The have their prices way high and then I low ball them, and no one wants a stock exhaust for $200+.. I offer $40 and they say F-U and I say message me in a couple weeks when you get down to my price.. He then lowered it down to $20 and I wrote him back saying "should of took my $40 offer, now I will give you the $20 you are asking, and he came back with another F-U I would throw it away before selling it to you..

I just got an 03-05 R6 header for $25 shipped. Hopefully it's in decent condition. Now I just need to pick an exhaust pipe.
when the say it barley touchs i mean it barley touches
i put 2 microscopic small dents in mine and did not have to bend anythingit turned out just fine
got a scorpion pipe on the way
so all in all i paid 200 for everything compared to 800 (average) for the 2 bros ... so come on ya cant beat this:iconbeer:

What year header did you get? Looks like this is the way I'm going to go for sure. I'll have to get some black exhaust paint though. Pretty much every set I've seen on Ebay looks pretty corroded. Nothing some sanding and a little high heat paint won't clean up though.
I just won a 04 r6 full system for $55 shipped! Not sure I'll keep the slip on since it's a no name ugly silver can. We'll see how it looks on the bike and how it runs. The headers will need a bit of clean up. But I just found out a friend of mine from high school works at a metal finishing shop. She's going to hook me up with some sand blasting and high temp paint.
What model Yoshi is yours? The system I won has the stock '04 can and I'm not 100% sure I'm going to want to keep that. I see a lot of cans online that look identical but one for a ZX6R might be $100 cheaper than the same damn thing for an R6. Or some don't even list the 03-05 R6 as an available option. I just want to make sure if I drop the cash on a nice carbon fiber can that it's going to work without massive modification.
You mean the mid pipe right? So I'm guessing if I have to, I can use the mid pipe off the stock 04 R6 exhaust I'm getting and get pretty much any Yoshi for an R6 I can find.
