Please forgive my ignorance as I am somewhat of a new rider, but I actually have several exhaust questions...
1. Yes, why are they so expensive? I've seen several used FZ6's in good condition sell for around $4,000. I've also seen exhausts (ie. carbon fiber/titanium Two Brothers) for almost $1,000 (and they're just slip ons, not full exhausts). So the exhaust is 25% of the the cost of the whole bike?
2. Full exhaust vs slip on, difference? I don't think I've seen full exhaust upgrades for the FZ6, so do most of you have slip ons?
3. Obviously any aftermarket exhaust usually makes the bike sound better, but does it really help with performance? Most of them usually say "improves the performance of your engine"... how so? What's the reasoning behind most of you guys getting aftermarket exhausts... just the sound, or performance too?
Thanks!
