which exhaust for 06 zx6

Postby Wardy » Tue May 19, 2009 7:11 pm

Thinking about keeping the 6, but don't want to keep it standard, so will start with the exhaust first.
What have people used that looks good?
Sound is not really an issue, and I don't really need any more power from it as it will be mainly a road bike.
What do people think about the one from hotbodies? Attached.

Also which is the best double bubble screen?

I have heard from the US forum that a lot of heat is generated. Depending on how much you want to spend I would go Micron Ultra lite Titainium with the full serpent system. I think complete for this bike about $900 US & $100 delivery check this sight out

Then you need a pwer commander & custom map $600

Russ the best looking pipe would have to be Caths 2 Bros & ya cant beat the sound ;)
The singles pipes look strange with the plate holder that comes with them.

Thanks guys.

Looks like I'll have to rob a bank. Forgot how expensive things are! The two brothers pipe does look the goods.

I was looking at getting a Jardine but ended up getting an Akrapovic slipon. I need a clean fender eliminator.


But damn this side mount looks horn!

Nothing beats the Two Brothers for looks, IMO (though the Laser comes close).
(but the Micron apparently has an extra 3 hpw in it ;) )
I really like the underseat exhaust - and an added bonus is it's much more protected in a small off

My screen is an Ermax double bubble. I like the look of it, but I can't recommend it. On hot days, the plastic instrument surrounds can actually melt from the focusing of the suns rays. Maybe they've fixed the problem, maybe they haven't - I have no idea.

Looks good Cath, have you put in a pcIII and had it tuned or just whacked it on? Also where did you get yours from? Did all the screen bolts line up? I've heard there is issues with some screens, can't remember which ones though.

No PC3 - I could barely afford the slip-on at the time! I got it from starcycles.com - When I got mine, there was nobody importing them to Australia, but several companies do now.
No problems fitting the screen.

I have ended up with a yoshi. picked it up cheap at the Mladin sale a couple of weeks back. It is sitting on the bike now but I need to get an exhaust bracket, the kit was missing it.
I've ordered a pc3, gpr damper, crg levers, speedohealer, integrated tail lights, k&n filter, double bubble screen and rear cowl. Should all be here in another couple of weeks.
I will install a preset pc3 map and get it onto the dyno as soon as I get a chance. Any recommendations for dyno tuning would be helpful. Also when doing the KLEEN mod would you recommend connecting the crankcase vent tube to the pair valves or leave it connected to the airbox.
cheers
