I have have a Two Brothers slip-on and love it.

What about Leo Vince, Scorpians or any others out there and how do you like it?

Its all in what you like. I have the Carbon Two Brothers exhaust and love it. I think it looks and sounds the best on a FZ 6. I did alot of research and I am glad I went with the Two Brothers Racing exhaust.

I have the m4's and really like them

I initially wanted the 2 Bros exhaust, but I think we FZ6'ers get too hung up on the cone end look, the contention being that it "looks best" on the FZ6. I disagree....there isn't an aftermarket exhaust that doesn't look good on an FZ6...it suits them all.

I had cone-end "megaphones" (as they used to be called a century ago) on all my Triumphs and BSA's...it was THE "racing look" back in the day, along with "swept back racing pipes" and, of course, clip-ons and rearsets to complete The Look.
Aftermarket exhausts on an FZ6 improve both the appearance and sound....performance gains are probably minimal, if at all, but holy cow, does that R6-based motor sound FABULOUS in full howl with my Scorpions. It reminds me of the racing 4 cylinder bikes of the 60's, and that's good enough for this ol' crock.

I hope to order my exhaust in the week. (birthday gift from the wife)
Leaning toward the Scorpions for the price. What if any is the sound difference in the Stainless and the carbon fiber? Then finding someone who has them in stock will be the next trick.

I wanted the Scorpions at first. Then the 2Bros. I settled for the Leo Vince EVO II's in Carbon Fiber. I needed the exhaust to fit with my Givi Luggage rack, the Scorps would not have fit (too wide i think) and the 2bros were very expensive. On a note the finish quality is outstanding on the Leo's. Also i believe they are ones of the only that come with a Cat Elim Pipe. Also people had noticed the exhaust came out of one side more than the other with 2Bros, Scorps...With the Leo's its not an issue, the way they have the Y-pipe designed is one of the best around. I've been very impressed with them

! As far as sound i love it! I have the cat elim pipe on, i took the baffles out, i'm sure its as loud as all the others!

I recently installed the Two brothers exhaust on my 06, and I went out riding with a moto group that I ride with, and there were a lot of compliments on the sound. A few people said they couldnt believe that sound was coming out of a 600. I was also told that our bike sounds like, a bike is supposed to, with the two brothers installed. I could not be more happy with the exhaust. Best money I have spent yet.

I love my Akrapovics, perfect fit, and be stock quiet or Superbike loud! I like the Ti looks of the cans too.

lilleman · 07-02-2008, 03:11 PM

I have to agree with Hellgate! Love my Akras nothing to complain about. Excellent quality. And removeable dB killers is very handy...
