Title: Best Exhaust for FZ8
Post by: Slydermac on 03 November 2015, 01:12:04 am

Hi
I am a new member and have recently become the proud owner of a 2012 FZ8. I have been wanting one for ages and would like to add a few things to the bike to make it my own so to speak. First thing I want to change is the standard can... any suggestions on what works best with this bike? I've read a few blogs that say some cans can even reduce HP... (bike is black).
Cheers in advance for any advice.

I looked at a few of the pipes mentioned... but I've narrowed my options down to three pipes... each have their own distinct appeal.
Yoshi R77D  - carbon
Hurric Pro2 - black
Shorty Short MotoGP pipe - black - concerned about legality regarding DB's on this one.

Anyone have any of these on their bike or know anything about them?  Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers.

Have a look in the sales and wants section for a very nice exhaust.  Can split too and just sell the can. http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,18743.0.html (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,18743.0.html)

I have purchased and fitted the Akropovic system Andy had for sale and this has transformed the bike for me, The flat spot between 5k & 6k has now gone and the sound is amazing - highly recommended system.  :D

Aah, you beat me to it Igeese... I was considering that system Andy was offering. Akrapovic are a quality make and that was a great deal. I'm glad you are happy with it. I snooze I lose I guess.

I have 2 exhaust systems available if you are interested ......

A high level variant (Holeshot link pipe with an SP Engineering carbon end can) or a Mivv Suono carbon system ....... both in excellent condition and both make a huge difference to the bike

good luck

Hi Smurfbud,
Thanks for the info bud.. I am not keen on the high can setup and I am unfamiliar with the Mivv Suono system, perhaps send me an image and idea of the price on the carbon one. Cheers.
