05 fz6 mid pipe

[Topher]

Hey guys got my 2005 FZ6 running and it's missing the midpipe so it's super loud everything else is still attached including the rear mufflers and the cat but I need to find a mid pipe to replace it where should I look should I go to an exhaust shop and have them weld something on or should I be able to find a replacement midpipe online somewhere and just bolt it up

Do you have a stock exhaust system or an aftermarket system? Reason I ask is because it sounds like you might be missing the Y-pipe if you do indeed have an aftermarket system. The cat pipe and mid pipe are one in the same.

Please view this diagram to verify what parts you do/do not have: 2005 FZ6 - FZ6ST Yamaha Motorcycle EXHAUST Diagram and Parts

There are three main parts to the exhaust system on the FZ6:

The headers, Part # 1

The cat pipe, Part # 6

The muffler, Part # 11

A hacked up stock mid pipe?

Stock muffler? Is that hacked up too?

(that pic isn't the best, maybe one from the side)....

 

[upshiftoverdrive]

Yeah looks like both might be hacked up... But a picture from the side would clear it up.

Do you know what passenger pegs those are Townsend? I like them.

I'll get one in the morning won't be home till after dark. I'm pretty sure it's still stock mufflers they are still hanging from the mounts on the bike

Can't tell from that angle.

Also, you can see the muffler insulation further up. I don't think there's even a muffler there, just the outside plastic cover...

I fired mine off with S1 header and straight pipe mid pipe and it was rather obnoxious!

So, the PO chopped up the Midpipe and left the Muffler as a show piece?
Also, the pass footpegs looks OEM to me?

 

[TownsendsFJR1300]

Sound like a top Fuelly (sp?) racer?

The mid-pipe looks flared (you can see its wider at the end) out or maybe an exhaust tip attached to it.

It makes the bike faster!:spank:

Much easier and faster than drilling the stock muffler. And less weight!!

Sure, flared is a better word, and if the OP didn't disconnect/remove any thing inbetween, It reminds me of someone, who did a ghost exhaust, basically similar to extending the mid-pipe until under the seat and leaving the muffler intact as a decoy..!

As you said before, we need more pics, lol.

Yes, a lot, not only 2 wheels, but those friends too, as I moved out of the city.
Hope to get back on 2 wheels by next season.

Last one. Sorry about so many posts I'm trying to do this from my phone and it's hard to upload multiple at once. I called the local motorcycle shop and they said they wanted to to 300 just a weld the new pipe on that's why I was trying to see if I could buy whatever part I need it online and just attach it

 

[TownsendsFJR1300]

Yep, they welded/clamped (hard to see) a tip on there.

Check the parts fisch for your exhaust to see what you need:

You may be able to grind away and save the mid-pipe. Your main muffler pipe is missing (which should be attached to the muffler).

You can buy a used muffler here (just had one posted for cheap this week), (a whole lot cheaper than that welder too).
spending the $ for welding it and getting it dead nuts on, if possible, will be tough. A used muffler is a no brainer IMO...


*If you can afford it, NOW would be the time to put on an aftermarket exhaust system. That, you won't be sorry....

 

[Topher]

Yes it is ear splittinly loud when you're riding it for more than half an hour. This is my first motorcycle I just got my license last week I was kind of hoping just to use this as a cheap learning bike and then upgrade in a few months so I really didn't want to spend $500 on a new exhaust

 

[TownsendsFJR1300]

Look in the F/S section or post a WTB on this forum.

There's ALWAYS mufflers for sale, for cheap as most folks change them out.


Also keep in mind, with the bike that loud, your attracting the attention of the "man" and may see a "fix it ticket" which is likely more $ than a used muffler...
