Exhaust Question

[Jag_V4Ape]

Okay so just to keep this simple, I have an 09 ZX6R with an Akra slip-on.
Now if I decide to want a full step with headers, etc. Is that possible? Someone told me you need to get an entire new kit, while another told me maybe.

Presumably there is a mid-pipe between the header section and the muffler. Is that piece the same part number between the full-exhaust system and the slip-on system?

Yes -> you can re-use it and you only need the header section. No -> you need a new piece because the full system's mid-pipe is different in some way (impossible to tell what the difference is without detailed measurements).

The muffler is almost certainly re-usable.

Here's what the full apparently looks like (don't see a mid-pipe there).

Look at the schmatic on that site:

Muffler part number for that one that comes with the full system: M-Z00505C/1
Muffler part number for slip-on: M-Z03005C

Totally different part numbers. I also priced out the collector, link pipe and headers to build your "full system" and the total came to $1,863! Is that what you're expecting to pay for the full system minus the muffler? Yikes!

It'd probably be best to just sell your slip-on and purchase the full system, that way you know for sure everything will fit.

Thanks for the info Jamie. Makes sense.

I thought you were selling your Kawasucki?

Usually the full systems use larger DIA tubing....so event the mufflers are often not interchangeable. For example for a 04/05 ZX10...0r a 636...a FULL ARKA had a 60MM muffler inlet, vs a slip on has only a 52MM inlet.

Thinking of keeping it now - 2 many losers low-balling + not enough interest.
