A favor plz. Need pic of 04-06 Exhaust Mount

[FinalImpact]

Specifically the frame area where the link attaches to the frame and drops towards the end of the Header.

I need to adapt an S1 header to an S2 frame. I was curious if the frame is the same? Few share the "dirty side" of the beast...

08 US, S2 looks like so:

Does an S1 have this center block? I doubt it! But a pic would clear that up! Tks

S1 header mounts to the side like so (need isolation bracket) :

 

[FinalImpact]

Bump.
A picture please.... Tks

I did my best out in the cold. Let me know if you need a different shot.

Thanks Man! Rep point coming your way!

So, what does the isolator dog bone actually bolt too? Its just dark enough I can't tell. Key point being, does my 08 have that same item? Is it the back of the center stand??? Hose is right in the way.

EDIT: looks to bolt directly to the frame and and S2's still have that part of the frame.
S1 hardware...

FWIW: that little bit of frame is now used to hold the tank vent hoses and O2 sensor wire....

The black mounting piece you see behind the hose is all connected.

The exhaust hanger connects to that black piece which then connects up to basically the same place as the center stand (if that makes sense).

So assuming you still have the center stand on your bike, the mounting should be pretty straight-forward.

Edit: You can actually see in the picture right below the center stand mounting bolt, is where the frame connects to the exhaust hanger. If you have that small drop down under the center stand bolt, then you are golden. If you don't, I would just make a small drop down tab and bolt it onto the same spot as the center stand bolt. Then you would just need to get that black hanger (used from a parts bike maybe, or order it new) and use a spacer to get it centered correctly.

OK - scrapped through some pictures and looks like this bolt is at the bottom of the frame... Bike isn't here to look.

I'll get the hanger - somehow I fear the exhaust is gonna hit the pan....

Zoom Zoom Zoom in.... lol bottom RIGHT CORNER is your bikes frame I think. Maybe just a longer bolt going through to holt the hanger??? Time will tell!

Why not just polish up your S2 header?

Seems it be much easier...

Cause its not ALL about bling!!!
Advancing the ignition timing, removal of the CATs (all of them) and adding fuel have eliminated throttle chop, increased throttle response and it simply runs better! I needed know what ditching the pre-cats in the header will do to it.
Although it was 38F yesterday, put 100 miles on it since valve adjustment and its a dream. Bike runs awesome! Id say its perhaps the way it was intended to be and has so few vibes, you'd never guess its between yer legs! :thumbup:

And the S2 header has that mean bend at the very end! Can't be good for airflow.

Thats right, no CAT in the S1 header...(I don't think)..

Now I have to hug a tree!!Blah:spank:

 

[Nelly]

I always knew the was S1 was better

 

[FinalImpact]

I'm very happy to go back in time in that regard, but you can keep the "other" S1 bits! I like S2 Raven!

That header coupled with the other mods and its fairly impressive! Very different in how she behave now vs a year ago!

 

[FinalImpact]

I should have added, mission complete. S1 header to S2 bike. Although it does fit, some choices have to be made to make it fit. Its in my build thread if you need to know.

Hello
I am new to this forum and very recently I bought a used 2009 fz6 fazer for which I intend to decat completely from header till mid pipe. As I can see you are successful in decatting completely for your bike, I appreciate little help in doing same for my bike. May I know what are all the items, fittings and hardware needed to install S1 header to S2 bike as mine?
I have already installed decat mid pipe with 2 brothers slip on exhaust but need ideas in decatting header. My tuner says to cut open, remove and weld finish as solution for the s2 header.
My opinion is to make the best looking possible modification to my bike to look original.

Regards
VS

Just as an observation: often people post about replacing the exhaust on the FZ6 or removing the catalytic converter, thinking it will improve their bike's performance.

It won't!

This sort of thing used to work on carburetted bikes, but the FZ6 has fuel injection, so you will increase the airflow through the engine, but the Engine Control Unit has a standard map based on the setup that comes from the factory.

All you will do is make your engine run lean because the ECU doesn't know that the airflow has changed.

The S1 (2004-2006) model can't do anything about this, however the S2 model does have an O2 sensor in the exhaust which can compensate for this a bit, however you really need a Power Commander or other system that remaps the fuel injection for your set up.

Ideally you want a Dyno Run to get the best performance, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
My idea is to go for a dyno session with pc6 and below mods,
1. Two brothers exhaust
2. Decat mid pipe
3. Decat S1 header
4. Ais removed with pair block off
5. K&n air filter
6. - 1/+2 chain sprocket upgrade
7. Brisk aor10lgs spark plugs

My intention is clear to get max performance out from my bike and wish to keep the bike for a longer period.
Hence help required for S1 header installation.

Regards

Do a lil more pokin around. I think there was an issue at the bottom of the FZ6 motor with regard to S1/S2 exhaust header clearance/routing.

Yes, there is.

I have a 2005 with a 2008 engine. Previous owner swapped the engine and couldn't get this to line up evenly.
