Default Shorty low mount muffler.

I mounted up a shorty muffler on my F4i today.

It is a Yamaha GYTR muffler from a 06-11 R6.

My buddy had it on his bike and went down so it had some pretty bad rash on it.

I cleaned it up, slapped some paint on it and used a 35* mandrel bent pipe to install it.

I think it turned out pretty sweet. Sounds awesome too.

As far as the clearance issue, it's about 1/8 inch away from the swingarm when it is fully extended with the rear tire off the ground and it actually pushes the fairing out about 1/4 inch.

It's pretty tight since there isn't supposed to be a muff crammed down there.

i really like that. i was wanting to do a gp style exhaust but that looks pretty good as well. any problems with how the bike is running? in terms of not having enough backpressure?

do you have a pcIII?

+1 to if you have a pc.

I am pretty sure there will be issues running that short of an exhaust as the f4i's engine was not designed for such a short pipe. Even if it sounds good, and runs good, you might get some nasty issues down the road...

Just sayin...
