I have a 2006 cbr600rr. I have a yoshimura slip-on pipe right now. Im looking to buy an aftermarket header for the bike. Will I need to buy a power commander too? Or will the bike run fine after installing the header?? I just want to make sure its not going to hurt the performance of the bike and cause it to run lean or anything like that.

 

Try posting your question in the 600RR Forum or even the General Tech Section. You're sure to get a better response for technical questions in one of those places.

While you're here though, welcome to CBRF Alder!! Post up some pics of ride when you get the chance and enjoy the forums.

 

Moved this over here for the 600RR guys to answer/discuss.
Welcome to the forum, dude.

 

where did you find just a header? im looking too

 

I think arrow might make one but they are pretty pricey. Maybe sell the slip-on and buy a full system? Yoshi full systems are on the cheaper price side.

 

i love my hot bodies under tail. its to slick to get rid of

 

Hey guys whats up! I have a 06 600rr with a carbon fiber slip on exhaust w/ a PC3. My buddy recently ordered headers for his 05 600rr that Jardine makes. He has a hotbodies exhaust & his was already loud, now his bike sounds like a race bike. Anyways I liked so much that I ordered a set for my bike. Starcycle.com has them, but I have seen them occasionally up for auction on ebay. Once I get my headers, I will let you know how the install goes & how it sounds & feels.

 

I've got a leo vince full racing exhaust with the carbon fiber can and I don't have the tuning. It runs fine but it does need tuning to get more. Johnnyh

 

it's probably going to need tuned a little bit. a power commander is never a bad idea if you're in doubt. better safe than sorry, ya know? and i would snoop around on ebay, i have seen a lot of them on there slightly used or new. good luck!

 

I just had my bike ran on the dyno last saturday. Im kinda glad I decided to wait on getting a header becuz the bike is really running lean up until about 10,000 rpms. So Im gonna get a power commander first to level out the fuel trim before I go with a header. But all my bike has done to it is a yoshimura slip on exhaust and it put down 107 hp to the tire.
Jardine headers are going on ebay pretty cheap here and there. Some sets sold for $150.00
