Shorty pipe.... FINALLY
Hey guys, I looked long and hard, and found a shorty for the FZ8. It's called ExtremeBlaster, it's based on the supertrapp idea. Basically it requires no re-mapping because you can fine-tune the exhaust by adding/removing the stainless plates in the pipe. More plates = more top end,louder. Less plates= more torque, quieter. They recommend unplugging the battery after install to let the ecu make small adjustments. Conveniently, the color of the plates will also tell you if you're running rich/lean. This is info from the install instructions, i will post firsthand experience as I ride with it. These guys have been making pipes for gixxers for awhile, and as a former GSXR owner, I can tell you that guys either love em or hate em on a full-faired bike. Personally, I think a flat black shorty is a match for the FZ8,low and mean. I wanted a shorty, but not a straight pipe requiring a PC at least and obnoxiously loud and this looks to be the thing. Price is right around $200 depending on color options. I'll get some pics up ASAP, and get a sound clip recorded. The pipes and the story are at: gsxrexhaust.com/
