Love it. I little harder to install, I hear, but it was easy for me. I removed all of the plastic off the tail so I could line everything up and was able to tighten it in place. I was worried about it twisting to one side. I'd snug it up then place the tail back on to make sure it looked alright. Then I noticed it hung too low for my taste, so I had to modify the brackets and redo everything. Looks much better than what they intended it to look like.
Here's a couple of pics to get you more excited about yours coming in...

If you have an RR, disregard the below post.
The 2006 F4i's (and I'm sure it's been mentioned many times) need to get the California model exhausts and the reason for that is because of the emissions (O2 module) that is located on the midpipe itself.
If you don't and order an 01-05 exhaust anyway, you will get an exhaust system with the incorrect midpipe that will require you to drill a hole and weld a nut into the pipe to put your O2 sensor in it. Yes, your bike will run without it, but it will A) run like poo poo, and B) you will get incredibley (sp?) crappy gas mileage.
Too much work in my opinion, but hey, to each his own. I just don't know a welder.
Say you're pretty convinced on getting that Two bro's pipe. Great. So go to their website, navigate yourself around and find the list of exhausts for the 06 F4i, standard mount. The High Mount system is not compatible with your bike, but I've known a few ppl on here that have it.
There's quite a few choices. Once you narrow down your list to what you want (or would take), I suggest you start writing down the part numbers and then go on your search on the web for the best price on what you can afford. Make sure you get the V.A.L.E slip on and make sure you clarify when your ordering it that you need it for 06, california emissions (even if you don't live in California) or you will get the wrong midpipe. VERY IMPORTANT-- I've seen this happen many times and those CSR's are idiots.
HTH.

^^ so my 04 600 F4i won't need a CA model exhaust? just wanna make sure before i order one. ive been thinking about micron or two brothers. i know 2 bros have the pop rivets in the muffler...any chance that anyone has had vibrating or rattling problems?? this is really the only factor left in my decision.

Your 04 does not need the 06 california exhaust (Unless your bike is the California model), so you are correct when you order it.
<- edited so many times because my brains are not with it today

Got it and installed it about 1/2 hour ago. Sounds great and got a bit more throttle response. I'm attempting to attach pics (sorry it's dark, I'll get more tomorrow in the light since the flash picked up the tag and rear lights!!)
And the midpipe with the O2 bung. Install was a cinch. Took maybe 20 mins.

Awesome... I heard that Two-Bros are deeper and supposedly louder than the Yoshimuras. Is it true? lol...

I just noticed. You have an o/2 sensor? Is that a cali model? (Who's Daytona is that in the background? That's a sweet bike.)

All the 06's have the O2 in the midpipe- oh wait, you read that, didn't you? ;-) heh heh
Oh, the muffler is hella-loud.
The Triumph is my bf's bike.

the weather was finally decent enough to ride today. That exhaust is much louder than I thought. Good thing Two Bros makes a silencer for it- so eventually when it gets on my nerves enough....
:-) it's sweet.
