R6S High Pipe Idea

Hey guys!
So I've been thinking... Hard.:rolleyes:

Any of you have any input on how I can get this high pipe type of exhaust onto our bike?

Holeshot Performance Products, Inc.
(Under R6S exhaust)

I know it's a love it or hate it design-- I fall into the first category.
I understand it would be custom, a "project", a mess maybe.

I'm gonna research and talk to some people at my local shop. Also gonna try and talk to those people @ Holeshot and see what they have to say.
I hit up Marthy for his work and waiting on a quote but in the meantime have been scheming on this idea.

Any thoughts on it from you guys who like to work on your own stuff in the garage? All input appreciated. ;)

** I attached an image for you guys to see since there is no direct link.

if you get rid of our rearsets, you might stand a chance....

I was just showing the wife the FZ6 and the differences... the dual underseat exhaust is different...

looks like an interesting mod and will def. be unique... can't say I love it or hate it... I'm sorta neutral when it comes to looks

If your wanting to go The custom exhaust route why not try to go CUSTOM and go for a under seat setup instead of jut putting it beside the rear seat. Just my 2c

my 2 cents get some nice headers and 6 feet of pipe your choice in size then just angle cut it to where you want it to be piece by piece i dont know why but i love the way that looks with all the welds showing and everything then mouth a oval shaped under tail pipe on it and cut the luggage rack mouths off and weld up an pipe holding rack from that maybe?

I toyed with the idea, but only way torun the pipe would put it sitting onthe rear brake line

Looks pretty easy, passenger might not like it. Like dart1963 says, have to remove passenger foot peg bracket section.

I don't think a passenger would be possible with that setup. I can't remeber how much room there is by the shock but I remeber seeing a decent size space. Im at work so I can't look at my bike. I would love to see someone try the undertail concept. My quad has the center exhaust and I think centered exhausts look amazing! Good luck with this and I hope u get it fabbed up

So a lil past due update...

I spoke to some shops in my relative area.

Half of them looked @ me like I was nuts.
Others said they could work off the 03-05 R6 headers and possibly make something happen.

I'm not too concerned about the passenger.
Throw a rear seat cowl back there and the bike is already changing a whole lot.
Perhaps another reason to get some of those overpriced rearsets from Italy someone posted not too long ago.
My father works in construction. Currently there are some master welders @ his job site fabricating duct work. I'm thinkin to run the idea by them, and see what I can come up with.

So far haven't spoken to anyone that I really feel confident about...

Either way thanks for the input guys... It seems as if I'll just have to keep asking around.

If you want to save a few dollars and don't mind drilling a hole the stock rear sets from an R1 will fit. I bolted the clutch/shifter side up just fine (granted, you have to get an aftermarket shift rod or a female-to-male adapter to get that to fit right) by matching up the top hole and drilling a new one for the bottom. I didn't make any progress on the brake side because my wife decided she wanted to start trying to go 2 up. I did get the idea from another thread on here so I know its possible. Just a suggestion...
