Shenanigans.
Simple: Find someone with an FZ6 with an aftermarket exhaust... and compare. Whatever you like better, go for it. I bought mine because I like the look and the sound is AWESOME.
I do believe I just stumbled upon a VERY good purpose of aftermarket exhaust.
Yesterday I was cruising home on my familiar backroads when I spotted 2 deer in the road about 1/4 mile in front of me. before I was within 150 yards both deer ran off the road in fear of the Scorpion exhaust at 8K rpms. Deer do not behave like this when they see headlights coming with no approaching sound. Stealthy is not good when it comes to wild animals!
Loud pipes really do save lives if they keep you from being struck by a 150 lb deer!

I actually miss the quietness of the stock exhaust. I drilled mine as like many members don't have the funds to invest in an aftermarket job.Back to the thread
If you were in your truck, you should have had your shotgun under the seat and could have bagged one! Wait, not Texas... :Flip:
For me it's a bit about sound and a bit about ego. I was out riding with some other sport riders and someone made a comment about a scooter being louder than my bike (stock pipes).
Very informative thread guys. Thanks one and all.
I posted elsewhere here about being offered some near new Scorp slip-ons and cc eliminator pipe for a too good price. Looks like I'll take him up on it.
For me too its the noise factor.
So it also looks like I'll also need to help the breathing with a K&N air filter and a pos re-tune. I just did a tb ballance but would it help to change the insHg figure to suck more fuel through? Or is it not that simple?
To other Scorpion users - with or without cat? I will almost certainly leave the baffles in.
