Hey, it's a long shot i know but does anyone on here own an Yamaha YZF R6 (05/06 or any year for that matter)? i would love to get a look at one - not a ride, i just want to measure the exhaust dimensions (so probably better if i visit you, measuing a hot exhaust could get painful). im sure i could find a 6pack for your help

and anyone got much experiance with bike mufflers? ruby? need to look into a cheap free flowing one (thats not a straight pipe as i need to be under 110 dBA)

thanks for any help in advance

I need an admin at the moment Ruby......

I'm starting up my own business on the side too. Business management consulting. $50 per hour (plus GST) to start until I build up a stronger client base.

I help out a few mates with their businesses after hours ... figured it was about time I got paid for my services (tho I do get beer for my worries). :ermm:

Got a few qualifications in business management, bookkeeping, accounting (inc MYOB and BillQuick), drafting (AutoCAD and Illustrator), design & construction management.

[end bragging] :P

This time of year alot of guys pack their bikes away for the winter. I know maybe one or two guys/girls with an R6, but which one do you want? Models from 2003-2005 are different to models from 2006-2009. Might even pay to "test ride" a used R6 from the dealer, whip around the corner before the exhaust heats up, and take your measurements that way?

Sorry, but "cheap" and "free flowing" and "under 110dBA" don't go together. I've always gotten the upper end exhaust systems for my bikes. Lately I can't go past Yoshimura pipes ... they also come with baffles, so you get that nice note, but still keeps it relatively quiet and free flowing. Its one or the other, but Yoshimura do a compromise very well.

Arrows are too loud and the packing burns out quickly.

Micron and M4 are porn ... but hell loud.

Akrapovic are porn too. Quieter than other makes at idle, but loud on mid-high revs.

Staintune are rubbish. I hate the look and the tin-type exhaust note. Tho they are quiet, they strangle performance.

Leo Vince are also excellent exhausts like Yoshimura! Had a full system on my race bike and it was awesome, but no baffle inserts.

I reckon a Yoshimura TRS (triangle shape) or RS3 (oval shape) with baffle insert (removable) is the way to go. The carbon muffler would absorb a small amount of the noise too at idle. Personally, I like the titanium one (as I have a full twin titanium system on my TLR. :ermm: But you'd be looking at $1300 for full system or around $700 for can only.

:P

Yerp. I go to UniSA city west, so my world is full of distractions lol. Worldsend Tavern FTW. Then I run into SAU members *cough JMW cough* and end up throwing my whole day out the window lol. Good times :P . Currently I'm procrastinating about doing a statistics essay, but don't worry I just went and got a Corona.

I’m at City West also as well as Mawson Lakes. Mawson is such a long way for me but at least it gives me a decent run in the 33 which makes the trip ok. Thankfully in second semester I’m only at City West and that’s good as I can just take a 20 minute train ride in. Stats essay :ermm: – sounds fun. I’m sure I’ll have to do that at some stage (i.e. next year). I’ve been working over the past 4 days on a user interfaces design plan drawing small sketches of mobile phone screens and using Visio to draw overly complicated flow charts. Your right, the UniSA City West campus has far too many distractions for a uni student. (not that I am complaining!) :)

My guess is you are doing Computer Sciences or Engineering or something along those lines if you are going to those 2 campuses, my best mate was doing that, all the traveling nearly killed him (figuratively speaking).

Cheers ruby,

I dont actually know how to ride a road bike and dont intend on learning any time soon, we're actualy harvesting an R6 engine and using it in a "go cart" (think of something similar to formula ford), so lots of things need to be redesigned. i'm looking into the exhaust atm and because of its positioning/competition rules it needs to be drasticaly changed from stock. I was under the impression that the 05 and 06 engines were the same, but the purchase order went out today and we are getting an 05. I was going to head down to a bike shop if this fell through, but i'll cross that bridge when the time comes

As far as the muffler goes its not exactaly 110 dBA max its under particular test conditions that have a few loop holes like pointing the muffler tip up so that sound isn't directed at the mic, other competitors were using stock honda mufflers last year we just made one from scratch. In an attempt to reduce weight and get more air flow i'm looking into off the shelf/aftermarket/oem products that we could adapt... so perhaps the better question is, do you have an old muffler or 2 you want to sell cheap? =P

thanks again

anyone here good with electronics and know much about LEDs

tryin to work out how u compare the brightness of LEDs to incandescent globes. im making my own LED tail light replacements for the 4WD (not ricey altezza styles, basically removing the incandescent globe and having a panel of LEDs behind the factory lenses).

Using those LED Globes u can buy off the shelf is useless, they dont reflect right and are dull in my fittings. Want something that is bright in the day, but not stupid bright at night. The fittings im making will be more waterproof than my standard lights too :happy:

Yep – A double degree of Computer Science and Management. This will be my third year of doing the trip to out there. Takes me about an hour from where I live to Mawson one way. Love the days back in first year when I started at 9am and finished an hour later, then the next class was at 3pm for a couple of hours, then a bit of a break starting again at 6pm till 9pm. Awful!

I'm only looking to hire someone for data entry and basic Quickbooks book keeping as well as general admin duties, preferably with Excel knowledge and extremely accurate and conscientious. You might be a little over qualified :happy:

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.

      That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
