custom single exhaust on my 08!!

made me a custom single exhaust on my bike today,the stock mufflers are so heavy i cant belive it!!!!! thanks to my buddy Robert we made a single exit set up and it really cleaned up the tail and the swing arm looks killer on these bikes,i am not keeping the muffler on it for long but i can put just about any slip0on i want on it now,and it sounds amazing!!!!!!! ill take some more pics when i am done and its outside,it is late and i have to get up early!! hope u like

+1 and a better write up. Would love to hear how you came up with a single side setup that you can use with any slip-on.

You had a better welder than I did... You should get your suspension readjusted now that you dropped 40lbs of dead weight!

awesome looking job!

where's the bottom strap on the yoshi can? like the top section there should be a strap that you rivet onto the can that holds the carbon onto the can..

did you glue it at the bottom?

that strap was rashed thats why i cut it down to 10" it looks better and sounds better than the 2ft long stock can,i still need a hanger strap and it is on there really tight dont leak or move with out the bottom strap plus i am not planing on keeping that pipe on there for long i just had it laying there so i went ahead and made the single exhaust,i can change the slip-on real easy!!!

You may think it's on there tight... but after 250 miles with no hangar strap or bracket my R6 can ejected itself and beat itself up on the asphalt at 80mph!!! Thank Dog for ebay!!!
