Hi everyone!
I did a search on the forums and couldn't really find anything specific relating to my questions, but I do a appologize if this is a repeat thread. I'm sure these kinds of things are asked often.
I remember reading a thread a while back about the real benefits of a new exhaust system and it seemed a though the majority felt it was generally more for show than for straight performance enhancement.
However, I've decided to just dig a little deaper into this and ask you all what you think the benefits of having a custom exhaust installed on an 01 ZX-6R, (or any bike for that matter) would be. I don't have that much experience altering my bike performance-wise, so would it be better to have it done at a shop? I also notice at most shops they have a rather wide selection of mufflers and exhaust systems; would one of these be compatible with my bike or would I need something more specific?
I've never had my bike dynoed or anything like that so I have no clue what it's peak output is. It's all stock with the exception of a K&N Air filter.
Would a new exhaust system be worth the $$ and how much do you think it would run? I'm more interested in performance than overall appearance. I don't need the loudest thing on the streets or something with flourescent colors. I'm not very familiar with brands, so what would you recommend?
