I wish they made something like that for our bike.

i talked to a friend who happens to be a yamaha tech and local pc guru. he said the problem is in getting it to fit. i am going out town this weekend but next sunday when i get some time i am gonna measure the pipe circumference on the 08 r6 in my garage and then the fz8 then i let the brainstorming begin.

No problems if you like getting a headache on long rides hehe

As for the catalyzer I just think on the R6 it's probably reducing the sound compared to what you'd get on the FZ8 (as theirs a second catalyser in the stock exhaust which is why the catalyser that's left on the Fz8 with exhaust removed is smaller).

You might one to take a look at this one:

with just a slip-on, no pc, and a k&n air filter does anyone's exhaust NOT pop on decel.

please don't start the full on debate/info overload on decel popping just a simple "i have xxx and it doesn't"

thanks

Even the stock exhausts pops a bit on decel (just don't hear it much because it's quieter)...so I doubt you'll find a slip-on that doesn't pop at all.
With the Yoshi all I can say is it pops 50% less with baffle in compared to unrestricted, though it still pops.

So did anyone get the Yoshi R-77? Wouldn't it make more sense to get the exhaust AND the header pipe?

No it makes more dollars hahaha!
If you have a couple of grand to throw at it, sure! But a slip on is a more cost effective way to change the sound/look with a very minor lift in hp
