exhaust comparisons

    ok i am going to have to defer to people that have their 600 longer but if you had 1000 to spend on a pipe which one of these would you get.
none of them are really all that popular it seems. i typed in each one in the search engine and didnt get a lot

i am looking for a full exhaust relatively cheap.  it is not for hp or sound only for weight savings.  so far this is the research i have done

the one i really want is the hamaguchi full titanium is only 9 lbs but not available for the 07
TI force available for the 07 and i can get it for 950 bucks. supposedly it is titanium from headers to can and is also only 9 lbs
arrow full comp, i can get this one for 1078 but it is stainless steel headers
akro race exhaust is stainless headers and ti can for 968

i deliberatly decided not to go with the yosh because i just dont like the look of them plus they are heavy as all get out

If I had an extra grand to spend to fix something that ain't broke, well I'd get hookers, beer, and chicken wings. And pudding, chocolate pudding, that is what I'd do with an extra $1000 bucks. Anything left over I'd go to 7-11 and buy lottery tickets so if I won $1000 again I could do it next week.
 
Sorry if this didn't help.

    heres the thing it is broke
the oem exhaust wieghs over 20 lbs

my goal is to get the bike into the 380s

right now i am sitting at 407 with the oem exhaust on and stock wheels

so that 9 pound hamahuchi or TI Force will go a long way to getting me there

less weight=better handling

The only one I have ever heard of is Arrow.  I know many race teams use it.

    the arrow is supposedly a great pipe, but i have seen it marketed a lot of different ways on different sites. one site says it is full titanium and yet other sites say the same pipe is stainless/titanium mix

i just need to talk to brad i think

try the KR Tuned exhaust.  its made by Kenny Roberts moto gp team. but its 1600 bucks.  the leo vince system is 1300. akrapovic is 1500.

    yeah i looked at that one
Lord DuckHunter from 1000rr.net is one of the most knowledgable people i know (in fact dan kyle has him test new products)

said that the KR tuned is crap

here is the exact quote
"I saw these at the Indy Dealer show. They are total crap... Welds look like they were done in a middle school shop class & the whole thing is pretty much just cobbled together. The BOZ Brothers exhaust looked no better & honestly I would not be one bit surprised to find they were made by the same company that is doing the KR stuff. I can't fathom that much R&D went into them if they can't even fabricate them to a minimal aesthetic standard, but what do I know."

really?   dan kyle is the guy that tuned my dad's rc51. and he actually told my dad that the KR tuned pipes would be good for his rc51. i dunno maybe the KR Tuned pipe for the 600 rr is shit.

Why are you trying to save all this weight?? Is there a purpose? J/W

read the post
i said that LDH is a test rider for Dan Kyle

and yes weight savings, this is a track only bike, i doubt it will ever see the street so the lighter you can make it the better it will handle,
(plus i just want to see how low i can get it)

i already have it down to 405lbs with the stock exhaust completely wet so its a start

I like LeoVince myself, if your racing LeoVince has a pretty good racer support program that gets you a hefty discount
keep in mind Titanium headers are prone to cracking so your trading weight for durability

if you want handling, get some lighter wheels and have your rear rotor lightened (plus the obvious 520 conversion w/ Vortex sprockets for each track)

    rear rotor already weighs 15 ounces
it cant get much lower

520 is in the works but i am waiting until the oem chain wears out first

BST wheels are also on my list of things to do but they are the absolute last thing to buy

i have heard that ti headers crack but have never actually heard from anyone with personal experience

i looked at the leo vince not too bad actually and i found it for 1100 bucks for the factory racing full titanium

definetly on my research list



this aint my first rodeo

5 lbs off the gut.................

    yeah but it doesnt matter how much i weigh
the bike will still handle better if it weighs less

Just funnin wich you dude.  On the other hand, its tough to bypass physics..sprung weight is sprung weight.
