Re: different exhaust questions..

Well if the $900 pipe is titanium, there is weight saving, and generally you will find the more expensive pipes are constructed from higher grade materials, and have had more developmernt go into them...aint no substitute for quality in my book.

Re: different exhaust questions..

if you look at technical specs between like two brothers and scorpion there aint that much difference to worry about. If you are going to be running moto gp or arizona salt flats then it might make the difference between new record or not. I do not see the advantage of the more expensive over the cheaper for what 99% of us. But you dont want to go to chap then it might hinder you. I have friends that have two brothers and friends that have scorpion. They both look awesome in the carbon fiber both sound great, and both said they experienced hp gains, but not much hp gains. The friend with two brothers said he wishes he would have bought the scorpions now. That is what I am going to order this winter when I have the bike in storage.

im seem to have an issue when it comes to this, i have what my girlfriend calls a "problem", for instance, i would rather having nothing at all if i cant have the "best" (most expensive)...my question is...will the avg rider who never plans for competition on the fz6, be sacrificing real world performance by "skimping out" on the two brothers cans and "settling" for a less expensive product?

Not sure if I understand the logic behind your question, but are you implying 'most expensive' = 'best performance'? And since Two Bro are the most expensive therefore provide the best performance?

Re: different exhaust questions..

It's pretty much a given that with good aftermarket pipes (Leos, Two Bros, Scorpions, etc.), a PCIII w/proper map, and a better air filter you're going to get very, very similar results with respect to performance.

The real difference is appearance, and sound. And that's all a matter of personal preference, isn't it? You decide. It's your bike.

You're welcome! http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/fz6-m...-mod-list.html (FZ6 Mod List)

Don't know much about performance gains, to me the SOUND is the most important thing... and I happen to like the Scorpions probably as the best of the bunch... lucky me - going with them will save me 3-400 hundred bucks for other cool stuff, too!
