Im looking to get a full system for my zx6r j1, the question is which one, akrapovic (sp) is out of the question too much £££ but i cant find any decent priced ones on the web.

could anyone recommend any full systems or what web site to look at, also what kinda power increase would i be looking at if i get it dynoed with a k&n and dyno jet kit??




Thanks

A full system isn't going to be cheap any ways.

Whats your budget ?

about 4 - 500 could stretch a little but wont be bothered if i get a cheapish one, im going to the NEC bike show would it be worth getting one from there to get a bit of a discount.

Good luck finding one there, is what i'd say. Just because you have a motorbike and are going to a motorbike show, doesn't mean they're going to have every random part for every relatively popular model of popular manufacturer. And even if they do, factor in how much the day there has cost you in relation to how much buying it without going there would have.

Hi

Why do you want a replacement full system?

If it is because you stock system is wrecked and you just need a replacement then you might have more choice. If you want more power then there are only a limited number of decent makes, and you will have to budget for a couple of hundred to get it all jetted correctly.

Akrpovic do systems in stainless as well as titanium. Titanium systems are frighteningly expensive, stainless ones are more reasonable. £702 from Demon Tweeks (although suspect you could find someone cheaper), and about £25 extra for one with a road legal baffle.

All the best

Keith

well im basically looking for more power, and with christmas around the corner i want to find a good deal, and my birthday is in feb so will get it all set up and fitted then as i thought the dynojet set up would cost a bit.

i have found this full system from akrapovic from america and it works out at £570: (half way down the page)
https://www.hardracing.com/Exhaust%20Systems/Akrapovic/KAWASAKI.htm

and this yoshi one as well which works out at £336:

https://www.exoticsportbike.com/zx6r_rr_(98-02).htm

what to you reckon?

also does anyone know what kind of VAT i could pay from shipping from America?

Hi

Akrapovic has the option of road legal baffles which can be useful (using the baffle on the Bandit knocks ~5% off the power), but plenty of people like the Yoshi exhausts as well.

VAT will be 17.5% and likely to get hit for import duty as well (and the fees from the delivery company for collecting it). However it is largely down to luck and you could get away with nothing to pay.

Factor in the VAT alone and it is a bit close to comfort to the UK price to make it worthwhile.

All the best

Keith

Unlikely to give much power, and just as much setting up needed. It is the down pipes that control how the exhaust contributes to power. Can is just a cork up the exhaust and the makers are pretty good at making corks up the exhaust that are both fairly quite and not really restrictive. Main gain from a race can is a bit of weight loss.

All the best
