I was looking at the 1000 recently (still pondering) and this one had a set of Arrow cans on it. Not a single one but looked pretty good. Do you not like the Motogp sytleeeeee ones, 2 pipes glued together on each side? I think they're pretty nice.

If you want the loudest, most obnoxious exhaust possible...


Racefit can probably help you outwink

Yoshi systems can make big power but i wouldn't bother paying the 'brand' premium for just a can - the racefit cans make more power and considerably more noise......

Pop over to gixerjunkies.net...you'll find plenty of advice from those running various systems and one will come up second hand on the sale boars soon enough.I paid £120 for my system...

Racefit cans take the piss noise wise,price wise and will LOSE you power and torque over other systems..bit of a backlash on these at the moment..go and have a search on the forum.

Dont forget the power commander too!

I think Laser were doing the "piggyback" style exhausts a couple of years back, don't know if they make them for the current GSXR.

well when I fitted a racefit to my 1000 it made a huge difference when it was properly mapped. It was a k5 so if they have got it wrong for the k7 then I stand corrected. If it were me I would give northmoor a ring as they build cresents race engines and test lots of systems. Microns are used by lots of racers - definitely one I would consider.

the gixxer 1000 k7 dont need a power commander as their fueling is exellent standard all i will need to do is take it to a local tuner with a yoshi box to give it 5% more on the bottom and 10% more in the mid range and 5% at the topend for exellent result's,im also considering a nykko g pack to lift the limiter in the first 3 gears and lift the limiter at the top end but i'll wait and see how much better it go's once i have a exhaust fitted....as for losing power with a race fit bolt on i doubt that very much as i've heard lots of positive fed back on them but i keep looking....

why? building an exhaust system that scavenges the cylinder properly, whilst maintaining some back pressure, etc is not an easy job, and can only really be done with a flowbench & dyno. Loud doesn't necesserily mean more power. caveat emptor.
