aftermarket pipes

[moorala]

hi everyone, just been offered a set of akrapovic sp cans in s/steel for £350 almost new, no marks.has anyone any info on these cans reg.sound etc.i think the price is fair but not sure what the average price for 2nd hand akras are.any feedback would be appreciated.there may be a thread about them but i couldnt find it.ps.pipes are oval.

I always thought they were a bit over rated. £350 seems an alright price, I got a remus full system for around that though

 

[afpreppie04]

A full system? I wasn't aware there were any full systems for our bikes, I have only ever seen slipons. You have piqued my interest sir. Off to google I go.

this is what i found, clicky, doesnt look like its full system, can any1 clarify this?

 

[Jacobien]

A full system means slip-ons with the pipes up until and including the cat eliminator. Two Brothers and Leo Vince have full systems, not sure about the others. I think $350 is quite okay, since most new systems cost $750.

Akrapovic sounds nice and you can expect a 2HP increase. They are just a bit boring to my mind, being round and all.

Peace

Uhm, 350 dollars isn't the same as 350 pounds A full system, in my eyes, also includes the front pipes but ok. I got my Leovince Carbon incl cat-eliminator for 430 euro's.. which is about 370 pounds i think. It's new :rockon:

I just searched, and I could not find any full systems for FZ6. Could someone send a link? Because I don't think any company makes a header pipe.

DEVIL do. It's be posted here a few times and can be googled. Also there's a cool youtube vid of someone making flames come out of the back of his devil cans!

Ouch.... Well they don't anymore!

full system would mean including the headers. so devil dont manufacture them anymore.. no other company is doing it.. best we can have is slip on + link (mid) pipes. arrow, lazer and probably leo vince have the link pipes.

I'm not really sure that the down pipes would be any better from an aftermarket company tbh.About the only advantage would be if they were Ti,as there is ony really one bend and I'm pretty sure Yamaha would have got that right.If the exhaust companys could make something a lot better,then considering how many FZ's have been sold,all the pipe manufacturers would be flogging them.

YAMAHA isn't going to provide an exhaust system on FZ6 that will get the most hp....because if you do that....you lose some torque throughout the whole rpm range. Top of the line full systems hve header pipes that are tapered in diameter...and have crossover pipes welded in near the cylinder head. So yes....racing FULL SYSTEMS with tapered or even larger in diameter headers will provide more power than the "excellant all around system" that Yamaha provided as stock.

Theres also power robbing catalytic converters in the header. So a good aftermarket race system would give more power and be lighter.
