Ok, how good is it...well it's quite a bit louder, but not obnoxiously so, like a nice aftermarket can sounds, but not over the top. It definitely breathes a lot better, and it feels like it has released a little more power.
As for looks, it looks just the same as a standard exhaust, except that the outlet holes are about twice the size....but still fit within the standard shroud at the rear. After 2 days riding, and about 300km's, there does not seem to be any burning, etc, on the shroud.
They did not open the main box, so there are no ugly welds underneath the shroud.
It cost $280 and took them half a day. Bike was put back together perfectly.
All in all i am very happy with the result...much better than going out and spending $1000 + on new aftermarket pipes, which in my opinion, dont look as nice as the standard exhaust...ie: all aftermarket exhaust's seem to stick out a lot further than standard.
Now i think i am going to go to performance superbike, and get a power commander fitted (they are the cheapest in Adelaide - $475 fitted and base mapped...i have shopped around, and they are the agent for power commander's in SA).
They have a Dyno at PS, so i may get them to give it the once over on that too after the power commander is fitted, which will be around another $200 (once again very reasonable compared to other dyno's in Adelaide...have shopped around for price)
These guys have plenty of experience with FZ6's, as they have worked on FZ6 cup bikes, so i reckon i am on the right track.
Once all this is done, i will have a set of nice sounding pipes, that breathe better, look standard, with an engine with optimum power characteristics, thanks to the power commander, and dynotune, all for under the price of a set of aftermarket pipes...
Will keep people informed of how it all comes together.
PS: Nice to see another Adelaide person in here.
