Could this muffler be mounted up?

[Owl]

Found this smaller car canister type muffler with 2" ID in. Just wondered if you all think it would be hard to mount up on my 07', and what problems I would run into if any??

Anything can be made to fit with a few skills and a bunch of time. If you decide to go this route make sure to show your progress :thumbup:

I had toyed with making my own exhaust for the FZ, but then i got a good deal on some Leo Vince pipes and have not looked back, i may still build one someday ,but until then i will be spending my time riding!


That pipe is very similar to the ones i was considering. are you do ing a single or dual? I was going to mount 2 of the ones below and did all the measurements and they would fit with some custom mounts made:

Similar to the GPR 'Ghost Fantome'? With reference to the link: I love the uniqueness of the style, although the finish does leave a little to be desired... Owl, the flame tips (if going 4-2-1-2) you have in mind could look pretty awesome! No need to fumble with a Y pipe; you may loose that distinct 'dual-tone' some of the branded after market cans provide?

Definitely keep us up to date with this project!

These cans are awesome. They look REALLY good! Two cans will look better than one, as you would need to cut the rear end up and have big gaps otherwise.

The 2" cans on ebay will work just fine, they are 4" in diameter, 18" long w/ a 2" inlet, there the same size as Scorp's, Leo's or M4's. I was going to use two of them on my bike, but I decided to get rid of the FZ6 tail and exhaust.:rockon:

I was actually wanting to do a single like the R6, not sure how much room I'll have left over to "fill". I cant seem to picture it in my head.. Been outside to look at the bike then back in, I've tried to photoshop a few times but I just cant seem to grasp how I want to do it without it looking crazy..

never thought of this route... I will never part with $600+ for a slip on exhaust....this way it would be far cheaper. Like the price of slip on exhausts for almost every other bike ever made.

Hey Owl - Can't comment on the Jazz can, but I see you've drilled your standard silencer.
Does it sound as tinny as reported? Is it worth the effort and, if so, how did you do it?
Thanks, Tony

this looks fun to try. i might try if i get my check soon. i did a side job and the wife said i can do what ever with it. this may be a good thing to try. i will let you guys know if i try

what about these? i have not really looked into it to much but just found these. i don't know the exact measurements though. Exhaust Muffler Dual Flat 2.5" In/Outlet 305Z MAXIMA TC:eBay Motors (item 200365192305 end time Aug-19-09 21:23:34 PDT)

My question is this:

If after market slip ons are designed specifically for our beloved fz6's for specific air flows/restrictions and what not then how will these mufflers affect the bike itself.

I used a 3/4" drillbit welded to a 12" 3/8 metal rod. I went down both sides as far as I could without drilling through the shell of the muffler its self. It sounds pretty good, I wouldnt say it compares to a 700$ exhaust, but it's definately much much louder and deeper, it echos pretty good under overpasses thats for sure.

I've ran my FZ Completely straight piped with no problems, there's really no difference in one straight through muffler to the next, so I dont think that using a universal muffler vs. a very expensive slip on would have any effect on anything..

my only concern with that kind of muffler is size, and the 2 1/2" IN vs the 2" piping on the FZ..

I'm a bit confused, you say no need for a Y Pipe? If I mounted two cans I'd need one I think? Am I missing something?

I was thinking the same thing. It may be interesting to find out though.

I know for my car I did a muffler delete option. Just remove the muffler and weld on an 18" long tip. Can this be done on the FZ6? I think it would sound good (it's very deep on my car and my car is an I4 as well). I was thinking about removing the muffler and replacing with 2 18" long stainless steel tips. Would this work?

[onyx_riddle]

ordering cans today. I'll post pics if anyone still is interested in how the shop mounts em up. Also, I'll send a vid to youtube and give a link.

please note:
I realize this is an old topic but I am pursuing this option and there is a lot of information in this thread for anyone else interested. If they do happen to google "fz6 ebay cheap muffler" two weeks from now, for example, they should see this thread with lots of information on what to order instead of a post from me with a video of my chinese crap cans.
