08 zx6r Exhaust....cath you may be able to help

Post by MrWasabi »

Cath, would you or would anyone else know if the 2 brothers pipes on your bike would fit the 08 model?
got some decision making to do and this is one of those heavily weighted decisions that could either swing it from a yes to a no...

Two Brothers do make an exhaust for the '07-'08 ZX6R, but it is a bit different from the one on my bike.
The styling is very similar but there's only one pipe and it's a bit fatter / larger

Mine ('05-'06): http://www.starcycle-usa.com/servlet/Detail?no=18314
For the '07-'08: http://www.starcycle-usa.com/servlet/Detail?no=18426

I can recommend that company too - we've bought things from there more than once and always had excellent and very speedy service.


Are you thinking about getting an '08 ZX6? Awesome 8)

Cool thanks Cath

Well...Wife and i went looking on Sunday...mainly a little bike for her, thinking of a GPX for her, but i saw the new 6 in the green and i just had to sit on it. Soon as the ass cheecks hit the seat i was in love. I was ready to sell my house, quit my job and take it right there and then.

I wasnt allowed to take it for a spin...damn restrictions, but ill be back in November and base my decision more on the feel and comfort.

Looking at those pipes im not sure i want the 08, looks like its just been stuffed in there and doesnt really flow.

But like i said, ill base it on comfort and feel as well... so we'll see what happens 8)

hehehehehehe - love at first sit, hey Wasabi Dude :lol: I know that feeling well 8)

There are other exhausts that look and sound quite nice on the ZX6, if you don't like the look of the 2Bros on the '08.
Do some googling for '08 ZX6 Akrapovic / Micron / Jardine / Yoshimura / Laser / LeoVince / etc and see if any of them appeal to you.

I have to agree, the '07 rear does look better than the '08, which to be honest, looks like someone just stuck a bunger up a cats bum!
