Two Brothers Group Buy.

What db killers are they? are they these Two Brothers Racing :: Search results for all

Yup that is them, "Sound Surpressors". They really make a big difference.

 

[Hank the Tank]

I want to order a set of these so bad I can taste it, but after just buying the bike and some new stuff for it i'm still on the fence about the $800 dollar investment. How long do I have to talk myself into it before you order them.

Dennis - Do you have a drop dead date established for the order?

Hank - My sewing machine sounding FZ convinced me in, oh about, 10 miles I needed an exhaust.

I do appreciate the cost of all the stuff, it never stops! So what the heck, buy one!

I just emailed the Dist... DB killers are 32 bux each ouuch!!

Yeah, I thought they may be priced each considering most exhuast systems are single cans. I'm thinking about ordering just 1 DB killer, as I've noticed that most of the exhaust comes out of the right can anyway, second seems to be mostly for show. When I cover up just the right can the sound dampens quite a bit. I'll try it out and let you guys know. Good luck on the group buy guys, for those on the edge of buying, it definitely is an investment but one I'm glad I made everytime I start up my bike. :rockon:

AJ - I do the same thing, one Killer in the Akro. I place it in the muffler that has the direct shot from the exhaust pipe. It's a nice balance of cool sounds and the right noise level. I'm just really surprised that you have to buy them after the fact, seems to me those should be part of the kit.

Yeah, at almost $700 you'd think they'd throw in a couple $30 db killers...oh well, there's the rub...thanks for the info.

Sorry guy's I just bought a set for my wife's bike last week & put them on today. They do sound awsome. Here's a video of them.

O man, in that case I would have loved if the group buy was going on at the end of May!! I'm still a poor PhD student...and my full wage comes to me in May (after all rent is paid up for the year!!)...

Anyways, I'll keep myself up to date with this and if you are doing another set of orders around May 25th time you can certainly count me in on it (so long as shipping isn't massive of course!!...massive being more than 150 dollars.)

o sweet end of this month i can probably get a pair. but before then would be to irresponsible : (
Just spent 800 on the bike for a service and new tire.

 

[Scorphonic]

800 for the bike to be serviced with a new tyre???? What service time was this?? Thats some serious money to be paying!!

Well the service was 350, it was the 8k just spark plugs, oil and a lot of checking. Then I got front and rear tires, The tires I got are Michelin 2ct. I ended up paying 400 for both tires installed.
I figured since I just got the bike it was worth getting it checked out right. From now on I will do the maintenance myself. Also I figure its good to have a service record.

 

[Scorphonic]

thats very true alright!! I cant believe you got your spark plugs changed already, surely there was no need to get rid of them so soon?? I was under the impression they will only need changing about the 22,000 Km mark, or like my mechanic said "when they need to be changed!!"..meaning he's not going to remove them at the 22,000 or so mark if they're firing well. Still...350 is a shed load to be spending but I honestly cant comment on prices in the US...due to the slight distance I am from you guys!

400 for tyres sounds about right, let us know how those tyres perform (do ya get much rain in Las Vegas...haha)...maybe keep us up to date on how they handle in the dry then!!

Just got the tires on today they feel so much better, when I got on the bike it felt different, the shop scratched my turn signal : ( only saw it when I got home. So couldn't really say anything, now I gotta get the exhaust for the Fe eliminator.
Its to windy hear today to really check out the tires though.
Idk if the spark plugs needed to be changed probably not.
I just bought the bike from someone and wanted to perform the 8k service to get everything checked out.

In terms of dBA levels I found the below thread in SBN:


The Exhaust Thread

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I have seen an awful lot of “exhaust threads” of one type of another, and have been working on trying to get some info from the manufacturers as well, so as to compile it all in one nice tidy thread. I think it might be a good idea to try and consolidate all the various exhaust threads into one, where everyone can just keep adding to the knowledge base. If I am mistaken, well then just let this thread die I suppose lol.

First off, in the October issue of Sport Rider they tested over 30 slip on pipes, on a 2004 Yamaha R6 (which is fairly close to our bikes mil) I realize it’s not our bike, but perhaps it will give us insight into how each company at least attacks a given machine (which may not or may not apply to the FZ6)

I will post all their findings from the manufacturers that I currently know of that make a slip-on system for our particular bike.

2004 R6 Stock: 106.4HP & 90dba & 8.2lbs


Akrapovic: 108.8 HP & 95dba & 4.7lbs
Arrow: 107.8 HP & 99dba & 5.6lbs
Bos: 108.1 HP & 97dba & 8.6lbs
Devil: 108.1 HP & 101dba & 7.4lbs
Laser: 108.2HP & 96dba & 6.4lbs
Leo Vince: 108.1HP & 101dba & ?lbs
Nikko: 108.3 HP & 99dba & 8.2lbs
Remus: 108.2 HP & 99dba & 7.7lbs
Scorpion: 108.8 HP & 98dba & 5.7lbs
Two Bros Racing: 108.9 HP & 101dba & 4.9lbs
Wolf: 108.4 HP & 110dba & 5.7lbs
Yoshimura: 107.3 HP & 5.7dba & 5.7lbs

NOTE THAT M4s are listed as 92 – 98 dBA M4s
M4 Performance Exhaust Systems
They may go up to 100 dBa when throttle is on maximum RPMs

You can also “hear” how each of these pipes sound by going to:
Sport Rider-motorcycle sport bike exhaust pipe sound clips


Others have also had success with drilling out the stock mufflers with a 12” drill bit of approx. 7/8th in size. (Possibly this with the cat replacement pipe would yield good results power and sound wise at an affordable cost… However, I think it best to always spend the money, if one can.)

Now, on to the famous or infamous Scorpion Exhausts… Well, I can’t do anything besides ask (which I did at my local shops) as to availability… I have a local “CycleGear” shop in town, and they looked it up for me, and told me they have it in stock, (who knows lol) and that it would cost 264.00 for the Titainium ones.

I also have my local Yamaha dealer working up prices for me currently on the Akrapovic, and Leo Vince ones. Hopefully in the next day or so I should know more. In addition, I am looking into the Arrows as well.

Please feel free to contribute to this thread and knowledge base of information concerning exhausts.

BTW in the same issue of Sport Rider they put the Akrapovic Slip-On system on an R1 and one of the quotes from the article is this:
"The Y pipe omits the stock catalyzer in the exhaust path; the catalyzer is a sure source of exhaust-flow restriction and heat, so we are curious to see the performance results"

Ok Now For Some Links:

How To Modify Stock Exhaust:

A number of people have modified the stock muffler, by doing a baffelectomy. Here are some links...

Modify Stock Muffler

Another way (and one I feel is much better) is to remove the cat on the bike.
(It WILL though, increase the sound... just not a ton, like drilling out the muffler can.)

Arrow Cat Eliminator Pipe

..: Arrow Special Parts :..Exhausts Systems

They have a pipe which will eliminate the Cat. It is part of their overall exhaust package, but can be bought seperatly. It comes with the attachment point welded on to the pipe, and weighs half of the stock piece. In addition, the bike will run cooler, and have less back pressure.


Laser Sport Collector

Greetings FZ6 Fans,

We have completed the R&D of the LASER Sports Collector and it will be in production shortly. It will mate perfectly to the LASER X-Treme Quad and the LASER X-Treme Dual systems.

Of course it has been designed to enhance the power output and it is made of lightweight INOX Stainless. Our R&D department has indicated that the stock cat creates a lot of back pressure and thus loss of HP and a hotter running engine. It seems that the testing revealed an excellent EMS system and the use of a PC is not indicated.

**EDIT to remove some colours

Where Did you find the scorps for 264.00?

 

[blubullit]

Come on, income tax return. You must be getting something back?

I need to spend money like I need a hole in my head, but when there's a deal on the table, whether it's M4's or TB's, or even Scorps, it's really tough to turn it down. I know, I know, I'm a weak feable shell of a man, I'm so ashamed, but you're gonna hear me comin!

Forgot to mention I shelled out for the gorgeous Red 07 too. That managed to eat up the funds quick. But you are correct, eventually Im gonna need all the toys too:thumbup:
