Can anyone tell me if they are the same?

I have found stainless FZR pipes on Gumtree hoping they will fit?

Looking at pictures on the web they look different to me. IIRC the inclination of the Thundercat's engine is 35 degrees and the Fazer's is 25 degrees, so it's unlikely one would fit the other.

I got a stainless set for my Fazer from Sandy Bike Spares, they do a set for the Thundercat for £154 https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/yzf600-yzf-600-thundercat-exhaust-frontpipes-downpipes-501-p.asp

Yes I have seen them for that price. The one I seen on Gumtree was going for £74 so thought I may snatch a bargain!!!

Thanks for your help Thumbs Up

Here I've overlaid the two sets, the difference is obvious.

Hi

Which FZR600? The later FZR600R had a fairly different engine with a different bore and stroke compared to the earlier FZR600. The later engine was the basic unit used in the Thundercat I think.

All the best

I bought a set from Sandy Bike Spares a couple of years ago... still look good. Not sure of the price now.. think mine were about the £130 mark but they instantly changed the look of the bike.. Good Luck
