exhaust question

New to this website, but not new to the world of motorcycles. Im coming off of kawasaki, and I am about to buy the new white cbr600rr. what companies work best with honda. with kawasaki, muzzys always the perferd exhaust. I didn't know if there was one for honda, i heard jardine but Im not sure. my other question is, is there an exhaust out there for the stock undertail to bring it back to side pipe? I've seen them before. I will post pics of my old bike when I get off work,I had a 2005 636 custom painted with lods of engine mods.

Slip-on or full system? i assume you're looking for solid power gains.

but your last bit begs the question... why the HELL would you want a garbage can hanging off the side of the bike anyway?! this might be me nit picking, but the unbalanced look and feel would irritate the hell out of me.

I have IXIL, you'll hear Jardine, 2Brothers, Scorpion & the list goes on.... Shop around & do your research & you'll be OK. But I have to agree with KSlugger, the undertail is just one thing that makes the CBR such a HOT bike, as well as its AWESOME performance.

    i saw on 600rr.net that there is an exhaust comparison test for the new 07s

I also like the undertail exhaust, but honda and kawasaki's new idea of putting the tail light under the muffler was pretty stupid, it does give it the GP look only if you remove the tail light, turn signals etc. Im probably going to mess around with some LED's and try and make my own, or just wait until some company realizes that could make some money by making something. I've been leaning towards leo vince sbk, I had the full system on my 636 and loved it. great sound and power gain. Im leaning towards just a slip on for right now.

  the taillight was put on the bottom to make the bike easier to prep for the track
less stuff to tape up
  

Hey guys I just had my Two Brothers installed on my 05 CBR600RR....love the rumble I just fell in love all over again

akra is pretty much made for honda hehe, i would go with nothing less.

I'm sure this question has been asked before.But i'm gonna ask again..What are the actual h.p benefits gained by installing a slip on or even a full.. I'm not much of a mechanic but i remember when i put a full cat system on my lude i only got like 2 possibly 3 h.p out of it..Is it different on a bike??? Now another question.. I was having a conversation with my brother-in-law and he said since my bike has fuel injection it really wont matter if i put an exhaust on it...Now thts somthing  i had never heard before??
I know many do the exhaust thing to get that sweet rumblin sound but as far as a performance mod is it really worth the $300++?? Sorry to sound so mechanicaly stupid, but if ya dont ask.....Thanks

^ I was wonding the same thing with performance too. I know with 2 stroke dirt bikes its a pretty good boost, but i think the concept is different. It might also be a weight issue, i have a carbon fiber jardine exsaust on my CBR (installed by previous onwer) and there are Ti exsaust pipes too, something like that could shave off some weight i imagine.

Slip-ons don't really add anything, maybe if you're lucky half a horse power if that... A full system can add a few though, in combination with a PC and some tuning.

First of all after market exhaust you lose weight right of the bat. By installing a after market exhaust you can lose up to 8 lbs off your bike. Second thing yes you do gain little hp anywhere from 2-4hp gain. Third thing for looks thats if your into it. Last thing is for the sound.

total and complete BS

my 1000RR gained 11 whp over the baseline with an arata map
and since i havent had my 600RR custom mapped yet i will have to go by the other dyno charts i have seen.
akro, leo vince, arrow, have all given 5-6 with a custom map

benefits
slip ons tend to increase hp on the midrange which makes it a better choice for a street bike
full systems give its power on the top end
for example the sato full system gives really high top end numbers but the sato slip on actually produces more hp in the midrange than the full does.

and yes because it is fuel injected it is actually easier to tune than a carbed bike.  especially the ones that do not have an 02 sensor.  normal non EU spec bikes run specific fuel tables that add or subtract fuel based on rpm and throttle position (air temp also plays a part)  a powercommander can alter the oem programming to add or subtract fuel based on what the air fuel ratio meter is telling the tuner

well for the 06-07 squixxer (600-750) , they loose 25 lb.s by dicthing the old exhast  which is huge i think.
