Default My R6 header setup

Well i finally decided to get exhaust for my bike. I used 03-05 header and a yoshimura trs slip-on. Its loud and sounds really good.... The whole process was rather easy, except i had to use a fab shop to bend my header(i don't have a torch) other than that it went smoothly.

Cost

slip on- 283
header- 40
fab shop- 20
bolts,piece of steel from lowes-12

Total= 355, plus i still need a pcv and a dyno, which will be coming in the next few weeks, so maybe under a 1000, which is alot cheaper than tbr or m4.

I will get pics and video up this weekend>

It rests low, good enough if you're carrying a passenger.

I was thinking about going this way but I'm concerned about what it might do the bike in the long end.

I've read through all the threads so basically what I need is:
R6 Headers year 03 - 05
Bend the headers a little so it won't hit the oil pan.
PCV. Dyno tune or AutoTune
Slip On


Now, since I don't want the pipe to be that long. I just have to cut down the mid pipe correct? I can just go at it with a chainsaw etc and it'll be ok?

Also I'm going to get rid of my passenger pegs and possibly mount it on there.

But these are all just ideas, the main thing I'll have trouble with is the Tuning. I don't know a place that does Dyno tune and I'm clueless on how to AutoTune.

Yea thats all you need. Also, the front plastic needs to be trim(the black piece). I believe the autotune does everything for you, it tunes the bike as you go.(I believe)

The lower cowl underneath the air filter? I heard that you have to drill a hole or something as well for the exhaust for a o2 sensor for auto tune?

I just ordered a TBR Carbon exhaust and Juicebox for $1085. So I'm not sure how much you will actually save by doing it yourself. However, I do like the idea of doing it yourself. Nice Job!
