You can rip an me all you want.. But, let me ask you this. From all the work I'ave done to your car, have you had any major problems? Did we have to take everything apart and fix it.. No. Execpt for a little mishap on the clutch, my work has very good integrity.. So, you can work your bike yourself and we'll see how far you get...

I believe you Mike that there is something wrong, but I can't seem to figure what it is. I really think gears will help, but I still think that you car can do better as it sits. I will be very interested to find out what is causing your problem. BTW, Power shifting will really only effect your E.T. I ran a 13.0 at 107mph and a 12.7 at 107mph. You might get a little mph, but not the mph your hoping for.

As far as working on the bike the mod list is very short I have no prob having a dealer do all the work. $60 to intall a slip on pipe, psh I'll take that.

Just a hr's labor rate. At least they dont charge 2 hrs worth of work that takes barley an hr.


I said from the start I was getting a slip on, stock exhuast is to damn quiet. After riding a friends R6 w/ a full Yoshi system that made my decision.

How much do you want to bet that it wont go past the slip on, fender delete kit and flush mount blinkers? The damn thing does 100 in second gear, it dosnt need to be any faster.

Full Yoshi kits are awesome. But unless things have changed there are better exhaust kits for Honda's like Micron or V&H. What slip on are you going with?


Its a slip on though. It shouldnt even take an hour. I mean I did a complete exhaust from start to finish in about 20-30 mins. Why dont you do it yourself?

well thats all I want to do to the bike. There wont be any Power commander installs ( kinda like a tweecer program) or any sproket changes or anything like that. Everything I want for it wont even come out to $600 total. After that the monthly payment is just fine for me as far as expenses on it.

The Yoshi sounded really good on his R6 but I was talking w/ a guy at the windham car show last weekend and he had a Micron on his RR and it sounded pretty nice so I decided to go w/ one of those. I got the aluminum canister w/ the black to red fade color.

I prob could do it myself but Id rather just shell out the $60 and have it done in less then an hr.

You missed the point retard. Its a simple job there only charging me an hr, its not like they are charging me 3 hrs of labor for a slip on intall. As far as getting it done at a dealer its a fair price.

You think so huh?

There was ALOT I wanted to do to the stang, ALOT that I did do and ALOT left that I wanted to do. I dont WANT to do much of anything to the bike. I want to clean it up appearence wise hence the flush mount blinkers and the fender eliminator kit. Doing the exhuast has nothing to do w/ wanting to get more power out of it. Im more then happy w/ how much this thing rips, the pipe is just for the sound.
