1hp when you only have 90+ is a big difference....................

These are the best pipes for an R6......as tested by many different mag's and sites.............http://www.akrapovic-exhaust.com/mai..._legal_set.HTM

What looks cool doesn't always give you the best performance. Some slip ons can cause a bike to actually LOSE power vice gain. Depending on what bike/slip-on combo you're talking about.

 

no 1hp is not alot, if you have 90hp thats only a 1.1% increase in power, anyone who can say they can feel 1 hp is a lying, it might give you a placebo effect but its all in your mind

i would never ever buy an akra slip on, or any high end pipe unless its a full system, and i wouldn't buy a full system for a 600 unless i was racing it and absolutely had to have that extra couple horses, there isn't much to be gained on most modern bikes period through an exhaust because they are just so good from the factory but the gains are especially low on 600's, on the street you will just lose a little low end and probably not even notice the extra 4 hp you picked up at like 13k rpm... a 200$ slip on will give you all the sound and look of a $700+ full system and thats all you need on the street

 

I agree to a point.

The best gain is the weight savings of a slip on compared to a stock can. Add a GOOD slip on (for the bike you're putting it on) and a jet kit or PC with a good map and you'll see some gains.

 

yea i forgot about the weight, your right stock cans are boat anchors

 

When i speak of exhausts i always mean the full system. I really dont see a point in slip ons. No power gains, different noise, different look, lighter weight, just arent the reasons i would want a slip on. Id rather pay the 1200 or less for the full system and know im getting all of these things plus power gains.

 

Some new bikes have a header that is just as good as the aftermarket one you'll get. SOME; not all. So in those cases getting the full system is just a waste of money.

 

yea most of the new liter bikes come with a titanium exhaust stock, so 75% of the after market full systems your actually downgrading with your 800$ because your getting a heaver stainless steel system... plus many of the new bikes have exhaust valves for better low end and more driveability, so you lose some torque and a smooth power band
