can anyone tell me what material stock '06 1000rr headers are made from... stainless or titanium or something else

 

typical carbon steel

 

kewl thanks bud. i have been told that they are titanium and that it is pointless to replace them with a full exhaust system and to just use a slip on. but if they are steel i will use a full race exhaust system.

 

no problem- magnet will not stick to ti or ss,but will to the oem header

 

so do you think it is worth the extra grand or so for the full exhaust or should i spend the cash elsewhere and just get the slip on? i already have sato rearsets braided front lines ebc brakes braided clutch line D.I.D gold chain and new sprocckets. went down one tooth in the front which helped a lot in first gear but hurt my top end second and third gears.

 

a good slip on like arata, akrapovic or sato will give more low to mid range power than a full which is about weight savings and top end-slip-on better 4 the street--1 got 155 hp out of my set-up -spend the money on track days
