Different Downpipes!

[Bondyboy96]

Has anyone ever tried fitting the undertail style downpipes from an FZ6 to an FZS600?

The seat and frame get in the way so it cannot be done.

But do the headers etc actually line up? I'm doing a completely custom build with a whole new rear subframe so it can be catered for,  just wondering if the headers meet the exhaust outlets okay

Anybody?

I'm no fazer expert but I think you'll find the later model had a completely different engine (R6 where as early models were derived from Thundercat)

It's a different engine with different dimensions & sits at a different angle! If you want to build an underseat exhaust as you are building a new subrame, it would be easier just to start from scratch with some stainless tube, a pipe bender & a tig welder. You will need to do lots of dyno runs tho as manufacturers spend a fortune designing exhausts to get the optimal pipe length etc it isn't as easy as it looks!

Ahh I thought that might be the case!  Maybe I could look at pairing up the fazer downpipes with the fz6 system. It's going to be on a dyno for a bit anyway as I'm installing pod filters and dynojetting it.
