PipeWerx Exhausts

MOzZereLLa · July 12, 2015, 10:24:33 PM

No cash but need to decat the R1. I cannot afford £1500 for a Seton, £900 for an Austin Racing or even £600 for a TBR.

PipeWerx seem to do a bargain of a decat and Ti Tri-Oval can for £360 all in.

Anyone ever bought / had any of their stuff?

Is it cheap for a reason (or is it good for the money)?

Anything with a Z or an X replacing the standard characters of S or KS should be avoided at all costs.
Even if it's just to avoid looking like a chav....

If you're not going to buy quality, leave it standard - looks ok.

The cat looks and weighs awful. That's the reason to change.

I appreciate the quality comment but some might argue that Austin Racing, Racefit etc aren't quality either.

Lose the exhaust decal and it could be an Arrow?

There are a couple of positives - the decat and can are sufficiently long to keep noise down which is an issue with all decats on the R1 unless you spend £1500 on the Seton package.

Martrain seem happy to use them.

What will you gain?

Carbon_ZX6R · July 13, 2015, 07:54:22 AM

and you could pass it off as an arrow as long as you take there "custom" baffle out

Do you think that Martrain are using their £360 set up?

You'd be the first to jump on someone for putting a budget exhaust on a £15k state of the art sports bike.......

I've got one of their carbon cans on my 2012 GSXR1000.

It's fine for the money (and the tee shirt still gets worn regularly!).
It's not top brand quality for sure, but it isn't terrible either and the bike runs flawlessly with it.
The only small issue is that after 8k miles the carbon weave as discoloured very slightly.

Hope this helps.

About negative 5kg in weight, much better noise and lose the horrible cat box that looks like it's rusting away every time it gets hot. With a reflash about 10-15bhp too. I get the impression reading about the companies car background they know a little bit about performance exhausts.

And a lifetime warranty so if the carbon does discolour maybe they might resleeve it.

Thanks Whoopee - very helpful.

Agreed, dont think you'll be able to get anything cheaper to be fair.

Add a few hundred for the re-flash and jobs a good un.

Or get saving ;-)
