I also wanted to go with aftermarket headers but was wondering if anyone knows of any that I wouldn't have to cut. I do also have a power commander so I can retune it after I get everything done. And yes I know this is going to be super annoyingly loud and everyone will hate me but I don't really care:laugh:
First things first. Take your exhaust off (just the midpipe) ride around for about a week.
If you honestly like it for a week, then go for it it's your bike you're gonna do what you want. I've straight piped my bike. I loved it for about a day. But the power loss and the extreme loudness becomes extremely annoying.
Maybe consider getting like an r6 exhaust can and do something custom? Maybe an M4 exhaust or something.
If you're going to do a side exit it's worth spending a lot of time and effort to get the right parts and think about what you actually want. With a proper custom map and the right diameter parts, you can gain power over the under tail but only at top rpm and at the expense of rideability. I think the CBR looks great with a side exit but they can look awful if done with cheap and crappy eBay bits! Oh and there's no way that pipe you're showing is 95dB, it'll be way louder than that!
Be aware though that unless you use a proper silencer (like an Akra from an R6, ZX6R etc.) then it's going to be LOUD. My Austin Racing is brutal and while I've never been pulled over with it, its ear piercingly loud. Makes a TOCE or Two Brothers sound like a 50cc hairdryer! My full race Leo Vince was 118dB and the AR is in a different league!? here's my setup:
Here are a couple of videos of mine to give an idea of how a short side exit sounds on the CBR, but no video comes close to doing justice to just how loud and brutal they sound:
Buckley... I just spent HOURS looking at your build thread... that's an absolutely AMAZING job on that bike... I can't believe how much you've done to it.... It's beautiful... I'm so jealous! It's given me a bunch of ideas though.
Pm me the price you got and ill see if i can do any better
