I think that excessively loud pipes isn't necessary. Do your thing but don't expect any sympathy if you get a ticket for noice pollution.

Hey bob that was hilarious

I don't want to make people go deaf, but when I whomp on it I want it to be known. I like the look of the Micron pipes, but Have heard D&D & Yoshimura are the best sounding. Of those 3 what do you guys think is the best quality and price wise.

Well you usually don't here D&D and best sounding in the same sentence.

I have a Yosh TRS pipe and it's not too loud unless you really get on it. D&D is just obnoxious. Micron is a bit louder than Yosh.

Please don't get a D&D.

I'm new to all of this and have no clue really about any of this. That's why I joined here, I figured maybe I could meet some people to ride with and pick peoples brains over the pros and cons of the ideas I have. All I have to rely on is what I hear on the street and what I read here. I do appreciate all the feed back. I have a 2000 r6 what do you guys think is the best pipe for my bike without spending thousands of dollars? Is that a better way to put this?

I have to agree. the D&D pipes are pretty tinny sounding. While they may give a performance advantage over stock there are other pipes the do as well or better and have a better sound.

Just my .02

D&D does NOT give more performance at all. If anything, the lower backpressure takes away your low to mid range power. They're just loud, annoying pipes.

Most pipes won't give you that much power alone. Even with a PCIII and a proper map, you might get about 3-5hp.

Most R6 guys seem to like Micron or Yosh. I like my Yosh but the Termi is nice too. Check out www.solomotoparts.com. They have pretty good selection and the online guy is a R6 rider.

D&D is just straight junk...i hate riding with guys who have that pipe. Nothing against the rider of course but it's annoying...

just an FYI....loud doesn't matter..99% of the time cagers won't be able to hear much of you until your either next to them or zoom past them. So why people are so hung up loud pipes for safety is beyond me...not that it WON'T help...but to bank on that as a safety feature is not good...

Anyway..the yosh has a deep VROOM...the micron is same but also loud...do yourself a favor and don't get the D&D, chances are you'll switch out of it not long after....

good luck

What is this whole "map" thing and is it better to replace just the can or the whole system?

Rev
07-21-2006, 03:03 PM
changing your map involves fuel delivery. When you remap u usually use a chip or PCIII (e.g.). giving your machine better performance..of course this is after you change out the breathing method of your machine..ie intake, exhaust...etc..

its always better to change out your exhaust system..but don't expect to see crazy gains..5-10 horses if it's done right...

RAC

Thanks for the info. It sounds like I'll be going w/ the micron system then.

Yoshimura screams at high revs. Had one on my GSXR600K1 and I loved it.

Now, I love the quietness of the stock exhaust on my '06 RR. If I upgrade to anything, it'll be an Arata or a Micron.

Go with a slip-on (Can). Sounds like you won't be racing that bike in SuperSport anytime soon so a full system would be a waste of money. :thumbup:

Kind of hard to map a carbureted bike though. :)

I just checked out the micron systems and they are close to 900 for the whole thing. I can pick up the can for 4 and change. If I change just the can do I have to do anything else? I need a new mid pipe too, bike was downed by one of previous owners and I'm trying to fix it little by little, so look out for more questions like this from me. Thanks for all the input guys!

I think on Carbureted bikes, if you throw on a slip-on, generally, you have to get the bike re-jetted?

Bobby
07-21-2006, 03:38 PM
You might not have to re-jet the carbs. (forgot that the '99-'02 R6 were carb'd). See how it runs first. Maybe shim the main jet or rejet as needed.

Yosh TRS (http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/Yoshimura_Tri-Oval_Race_Slip-On_Exhaust_Yamaha_YZF-R6--501424.html) $324 for SS.

d and d is da loudest but for that just straight pipe it and it'll scream loudness!

my philosophy is: go with quality over quantity. who cares how loud they are if its not enhancing your bike's performance. because lets face it - if its all about sound you can just pull the shit out of your stock pipes and theyll be loud as hell.

I am running dual yosh RS3's sounds deep and when the r's are up it barks pretty loud but not annoying loud

And really all loud pipes does is piss off the locals and then that brings a increased police presence to riding areas. All loud pipes do is announce to everyone within in shot that "I'M GOING REALLLLLLLLLLY FAST" or at least sounds like you are.

Loud pipes are part of the problem. This is the kinda thing we have to try and control or we will be dealing with noise regs like the crazy ones in europe right now.

Yep, DON'T go with a D&D:moocow: , all pipes are louder than stock but if you want performance, big names, Micron, Yosh, Akra etc. They give smoother power curves etc.

Buy aftermarket Akros carbon fiber, then cut them in half. Loud and quality.

I've heard a few new Gix & Yami 6's running with the stock shortie pipes, they sound great and they're loud enough as it is.
