Default exhaust?

Is it possible on a 01 cbr f4i to make my pipes come out under the rear instead of out on the side? been trying to find pipes for it but i can not find nothing? please help?

Gotta have custom ones made with modification to your subframe, swingarm, and fairings. TBH as beautiful as it is its not really worth it and there are no real benefits to moving them. But to make your life harder here is a photo of someone who did do just that and may I say. I'm very jealous!!

What do you have? Normally you can buy an insert from the same manufacturer to quiet things down a bit and there is such a miniscule drop in performance that you wont even notice it.

Naturally I am very partial to Jardine exhaust but you really need to find what sound you like as pretty much all slip-ons garner the same performance gains for the street. Akrapovic$$$, Leo Vince (Leo Vinci), Yoshimura, D&D, Jardine, Micron, Hindle, and Vance and Hines are all good manufacturers, you can't go wrong with most companies really, like I said its really about what sound and look you like.

They are the easiest to install and the most common, normally you attach the mid pipe to your headers and than "slip on" the muffler and secure it either with springs or bolts. Your other option is a full system where everything is replaced, but don't worry about those unless you plan on racing the bike as there are many different ways to better spend your money. What you have is what I have heard is affectionately called a megaphone, as for what brand I don't know enough to tell you. Some people like them but if your not one of them ebay is a great place to find awesome deals. You just have to be patient and really look around for what you like. Like I said, I love the sound of Jardines, but that runs in the family.

well i will take your advice on that and see if i can order that and no this bike is just for riding around no racing. and do u think i should leave the exhaust under the bike or get the full pipe that brings it all back to the right side like normal?

If you buy another slip-on (generally) it will come the a mid pipe and hardware to mount it. If you can deal with the sound and like the look than go ahead and keep it but if you fall in love with another slip-on and don't mind having it mounted on the side then grab that. I know they are long and look rather ridiculous but if shortened by 2 inches they actually look pretty good in my eyes.

Same bike different length exhaust.
