[GON]

ok so I was looking trough ebay and I found a brand new 2002 R6 muffler so I was wondering will my bike sound good? would it fit? what would i have to do to put it there? I know some welding and stuff but i was also wondering should i take it to the dealer and let the mechanic do it for me? heres a pic, well nevermind cant put a pic in there

First off the picture isnt there....

Second do an  "exhaust" search. Theres guys on here with custom flanges and such to get you going.

I believe cutting off your stock can and fitting the R6 muffler with a flange can work. Yeh a custom exhaust shop could do it up no problem.

I dunno how much they're asking, but I've got an '04 R6 muffler.  Perfect condition.

If you want it, make me an offer.

Holy crap, I was JUST about to ask about installing a R6 can.  I searched for "R6 muffler" and all I got was WHEELIE!!! and this thread.  I was wondering if the stock R6 can is a good match to a lunchbox, because like GON said, they're cheap, and I guess I can buy one from An.

[annguyen1981]

Sorry Chuck.   I can't sell it to you.

For my purpose, I just want somebody to confirm that a stock R6 muffler counts as a "free flowing performance enhancing" muffler when placed on a GS in terms of rejetting.  I think it's obvious, because of course the stock R6 moves a much greater quantity of air than a GS.  But just because it's obvious to me doesn't mean I'm not missing something and I'll waste money and time by trying it.  I don't see any threads where someone has installed a stock R6 can, it's usually an aftermarket can designed for the R6, which is probably a different ballgame.

I'm not going for the look or the sound, I'm going for airflow to match the lunch box, and cheap, which looks like the stock R6 can can provide.  Which I guess is why it appealed to GON as well.

I'm hoping since I capitalize and punctuate and try to submit legitimately informative posts, and I did try searching, that someone will be polite and say "yes, user X installed a stock R6 can and it works great" instead of "search n00b."    Thank you.

Since you did all that, I'm gonna try and find the pictures and thread with the stock R6 exhaust for you.

The GS moves 244cc of gas at a time, while the R6 moves right around 300cc. It wouldn't be considered that much more "free flowing" especially since it is a stock muffler and has to conform to the same emissions and noise standards that all the other bikes do.

I can't find the post about the STOCK 6 can.  just this one with an aftermarket.

That's the kind of talk I was looking for.  Thanks Alpha, that gives me a way to think about it.  Now if I go (for example) from a 127.5 jet to a 150, that's theoretically about 18% more fuel.  Even with those numbers, the R6's 600cc displacement is 20% more than the GS's 500, so it seems about right.  Additionally, the R6 has a higher compression, which increases the amount of uncompressed air that has to exhaust.  Higher RPM also increases the volume of air that needs to pass through.

Once again, I could be missing something that makes this analysis completely wrong.

That actually kind of gives me more reason to think it would work.  Maybe it's my civic duty to try it and report the results.

I think you should.  Bolt it up, then get sick of the weight of it, and try an aftermarket R6 pipe.

[Chuck]

Okay, I'll bite.  What's the weight of it?

[GON]

so chuck would you buy an aftermarket R6 exhaust or stock? stock would make the bike uneven huh?

[Chuck]

The R6 muffler is 7 lbs, as far as I know.  I don't know what the GS can weighs, but if that's a problem I can just skip that sandwich before I ride.
