EXHAUST

[00007]

i know this is youtube but there is are a couple clips with the akra with the db killer in it and they both sound pretty stock with them in! anything will be better then what my ninja was with the D&D on it its a 2000 and the pipe has been on since 2001 with no repacking lol

Just uploaded a test with stock exhaust, so I can compare when I get the Akropovic slip-on (will probably go with the Akropovic unless I find something better and cheaper)

I copied this video from the other FZ8 Forum. The Two Bros sounds nice and deep.

looks better then on the website 2 is there any other pics of that?
nm i clicked on it*

has anyone seen the Leo vince Factory Type R exhaust that has just been released? it looks different! heard a clip on you tube was overly impressed and with a price tag of $650 for the carbon fiber i think it should sound a little better!

The 2 different 2 brothers pipes
Dyno Charts

Im feeling the black out pipe! Its a decent pipe, I think I might take the plunge.

 

[lothodon]

yup, i'd pick the black as well.

 

[00007]

i like both ... but i kinda like the black and gold matches the forks well ... i think either would be a solid choice!!

 

[Speedo007]

I must say now that the break-in period is over (2000km+ on the bike already), I think Im keeping the stock exhaust, it just sounds great above 5000rpm, and it's easy to keep it in that zone now And I ride about 20000km a season, knowing bike is less polluting is also a plus...

 

[mano1192]

I agree! Once you can start hitting 6k+ it sounds great. My two brothers pipe came in today. I hope to get it installed after work tommorrow and Ill try to upload some videos for everyone.

Just ordered a Yoshimura R-77 carbon, can't wait to try it out.

Here's the cheapest I could find:

2011 Yamaha FZ8 Yoshimura R-77 Stainless/Carbon Slip-On [1380020220 (194640)] : Bayside Performance, Canadian Source for 98-2010 Yamaha Honda Suzuki Kawasaki Ducati Triumph Sportbike Accessories And Apparel

 

[Speedo007]

Probably the best looking option out there. Here's the only problem:

 

[00007]

i must be blind i cant really see it lol

i mean i cant read the dyno chart!!

Compared to the Akra slip-on or full exhaust system:

 

[Speedo007]

The Akrapovic addresses the power dip in lower rpms, the Yoshi looks and sounds good, no radical improvement on performance.

 

[00007]

wow the header makes a massive improvement!!! any dyno charts on the two brothers?

[Speedo007]

So in order of performance:
1. Full Akra system
2. Akra slip-on
3. Two brothers
4. Yoshimura

would you be able to run a akra header with a two bros pipe ? or would that be just kinda stupid as they tune for their own slip on?
