M4 Y-Pipe Install on Yamaha R6 | TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT?

It was only a matter of time before I removed the catalytic converter from the bike. This thing is not only restrictive but it is also heavy! By deleting your cat and adding a Y-Pipe, you increase exhaust flow giving you better top end performance and weight savings. It's a little more work than just adding a full header, but well worth it in the end if you are looking to save a little bit of cash.

It was some work but who has done a cat delete on their R6 vs putting a full header on?

@itsmeericb 2 жыл бұрын

@everyday tenor To each their own. In my opinion the bike sounds so much better with an aftermarket exhaust. Plus the slip on gives the bike a more aggressive looks. Totally feel ya and everyone has their preference. I wear earplugs when I ride not only for the exhaust but for the wind noise. I've worked around Aviation for a number of years and hearing loss can be an issue if not wearing the proper hearing protection. Thanks for watching!

@John Doe Ahhh nice! 👏 Looks like you had a pretty easy time working on it! 💪

@Sunscin Жыл бұрын

@everyday tenor The "Backfires on engine braking" is decel pop caused by oxygen being injected into the exhaust by the PAIR valve, if you remove the PAIR valve or plug it's intake, you won't experience this issue.

@joem8986 2 жыл бұрын

I did this with my 2016 r6 also. Kept the stock headers and used M4 y pipe with a M4 carbon fiber shorty exhaust. I kept the honey comb though. Also i recommend welding the m4 y pipe with the headers. I guarantee you that there is an air leak from the y pipe and headers. That was my situation and then i just got it welded.

@itsmeericb 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I had a little leak at first but I was able to stop it. Welding is a good idea.

I am looking into getting M4 Exhaust and remove my cat (R6) but hoping to get cheaper Y pipe to use. Right now using stubby exhaust but not sure how loud it is in actual ride since I am off bike while healing up from injury.

@itsmeericb 2 жыл бұрын

Shorty with a cat delete will be loud. The M4 is pretty loud as well. Personal I think the M4 y pipe is the way to go just due to quality.

@Ro6entX 2 жыл бұрын

@@itsmeericb Sorry on late response here. Yeah I decided to ditch the shorty and unfortunately due to California being anal about certain exhaust, I can’t order a M4 Exhaust directly from the company but just found and ordered from third party on eBay. It has few scruffs on it but since plan on doing track, don’t think anyone will even notice.

Nice job!👍🏽🏍 Thanks for sharing. I’m putting a full Yoshi exhaust on my ‘19 R6 next week. How was the Bauce ECU flash, was it just plug & play? Are you putting in any block off plates as you pulled out the AIS? Thanks!

Hey that awesome on the Yoshi! The ECU is plug and play. Send it off and get it back making the bike feel like a new bike! No block off plates. I actually just did a video on the ECU removal and a first ride with the flash and exhaust done. I’ll be posting it soon!
