Afternoon all,

I got a 2010 R6. Love it to bits and thought it sounded great...

Till our rip around yesterday!

My brother's ZX10 has a link pipe and sounds fooking brilliant.

some of the other guys we were out with also have louder machines - Street triple, CBR60rr.

Now I am on a quest to get mine louder.

Just love the popping and grumbling noise these machines can make.


I currently have an aquapovic slip on and was enquiring today about how to de-cat / link pipe my machine.

However I was told by 2 garages that this needs welding work to be done as the cats are directly welded onto the engine block or something like that?

I have no idea what I am talking about in this subject so if someone could let me know that would be great...I NEED IT LOUDER!

Link to exhaust/company I found which they say can fit it all for just shy of £400.

What that is, basically you send them your stock exhaust and they cut out the cat which is a part of the headers and weld a section of stainless steel tubing to replace it.

The title is misleading, I wouldn't exactly call it a 'FULL RACE SYSTEM', it's not. It's a modified stock system.

If you just want more noise, you'll certainly achieve that. With the akra can you've currently got I expect that it will sound quite sexy indeed, and be nice and loud too. The akra can should fit straight onto the modified exhaust and give you the pops and bangs you're after.

The extra £175 quid (to bring it to the £400) is basically for them to remove the exhaust for you. If you're confident with spanners, removing the exhaust is easy enough, especially on a 2010 R6 where you won't have seized bolts etc.

Haven't really looked into it enough to advise you what to do. The modified exhaust with a power commander will probably see the 10hp, you won't without the power commander though and you'll deffo get your extra noise!

Thanks for the reply mate - the guy I spoke to on the phone said that it would require some welding?

but your saying it won't need that just some spanner Handyness?

He is saying that the ebay link you advertised is the just for the cutting/welding work i.e. it will require welding, but that is what you are paying them for. You remove your downpipes (which includes the catalytic converters), then send them to that company. That company cut the cats out and welds in some stainless pipe to replace the cut out bits, then post them back.

If you just paid the minimum (£215 for JUST the welding according to that ebay link), you'd need to remove your own downpipes, post them. Then when they have been posted back, refit them with new gaskets. How difficult a job it is depends entirely on how corroded and seized the downpipe studs are. Seized studs snap off when you try to remove them which is an utter pig of a job to sort.


For £400 you give them the bike, they do everything, then you ride it home. That said, if your studs snapped off when they were removing them they'd need to charge you more money to repair the snapped studs.

Ahh right got you now! Smile

Thanks chaps.

I am thinking £400 is just not worth it - if it were something like 100-200 then yeah maybe.

but £400 for this is just not worth it for me.

Indeed, also that is £400 BEFORE you have the power commander (a type of computer so it can run better) and air filter required for the extra power (add about £450 for those).

They also remove the hole in the exhaust where the lambda sensor screws in, you'd need either a lambda eliminator or pay the £25 for them to make the screw hole.

If you start cutting cats out wouldn't you need a power commander and new map? I can't imagine the stock map would be too chuffed with the removal of the cat

Laughing You seen the size of the stock cat? It's enormous!

I also struggle to see how you can cut that and the Lambda sensor out without having some major fuelling issues. I assume as it is quite a common mod there will be maps available, but what does a custom map cost, few hundred quid?

Could just get this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R6-2010-10-2011-11-EXHAUST-HEADERS-DOWNPIPE-DOWNPIPES-DE-CAT-DOWN-PIPE-RACE-/140922083175?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item20cf9c5767

Then you still have the stock exhaust for when you come to sell it and can recoup some of the cost of the straight through exhaust?

Thats what i would do.
