Seeking Advice on Exhaust Options for My 2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R (636)
Hey everyone, I’m in the process of upgrading my 2006 Kawasaki 636 and have reached the exhaust system part of the project. I’ve read a bit about the different options available, but I’m curious about what others have experienced and recommend.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
- Best Exhaust Systems: Which exhaust systems have you found to offer the best performance? I’ve seen brands like Yoshimura, Akrapovic, and Two Brothers thrown around. Are they really worth the price?
- Sound Comparison: I want my bike to have that perfect growl without being too obnoxious. If you’ve changed your exhaust, how does it sound compared to the stock setup?
- Installation Tips: I’m somewhat handy but would like to know if there are any common pitfalls or tips for installing a new exhaust on a 636. Is it a straightforward job, or should I consider getting help?
- Where to Buy: Any recommendations for where to source these exhausts? I’ve found a few online, but would appreciate any local shop suggestions if they exist.
A Bit More Context:
I ride primarily on the weekends and do occasional track days, so performance is key for me. However, I don’t want something that’s going to be a hassle to deal with or that will annoy everyone in the neighborhood.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and recommendations.
Feel free to share any experiences or links that might help!
