Default Put a 07' r6 shorty pipe on my f4i

I just ran across this 07' r6 pipe last night on craigslist for $75.00 bucks, looks new. Went to Pepboys and picked up a 1 3/4 id. plain turn down tip (not chrome, made of plain pipe with a slight bend)$5.00. cut several inches off both sides of pepboys pipe, slid right into the r6 pipe perfectly. I flared the other end with a flare tool to slide over my header pipe and attached the pipe using original clamps (no welding). Made a bracket for the pipe out of a windshield wiper linkage piece. Sounds way sweeet!

Cool concept but I don't like the way it looks on there, Kinda sits atAweird angle or something. Never the less, good job. Hope your happy with it.

Why didn't you use the pipe designed for the 08 RR? If you like it then that is all the matters. I personally LOVE my Two Bros.!!!

Is a bit loud, I am sure I will get used to it. The main reason I went with that pipe is I found it for a good deal, thats about it. I had a stock pipe on there before with some dents and scratches, and it just hasn't been in the budget for a $400 pipe. Wanted that look, but also didn't find alot out there in that design. I will roll it for a while.....until it dies or I find something better.......lol.

Good job, sounds nice... it looks a little out of place but I think they look strange on the R6 anyway.

yeah, its alot louder than I expected to, then I got down and looked at my buddies r6 and noticed that the muffler is under the engine, that is just the resonator.
