Not a problem, hope you can find it. They sure didn't look cheap. I even noticed they have them for the FZR600 also.

i certainly hope they didn't go out of business. they are one of the best sounding pipes in my opinion. they are rather pricey, but no where near as much as some of the new ones these days. i've been looking for just the right r6 pipe to go with my r6 header coming back from nate and they are outrageous. the newer shorty pipes are all well over $300, most of them being $400. i really dont get it, they have less baffling in them than the previous year r6's because they've got the collector at the bottom of the bike.

i think i'll end up making my own, unless i find an awesome deal on what i'm looking for. i guess the exhaust companies know they can get away with charging an arm and a leg cuz the squid will pay anything as long as it looks and sounds good LOL2

welcome to the wonderful world of exhausts now that you upgraded your bike ...
when i picked up my r1 , i went from akrapovic , to gty-r , to a yoshi tri oval slip on ..
i found some company in Montreal selling HINDLE Hi mount mid pipes for 70 bucks retails supposedly $300 so i bought one , Now i cant find a Hindle can for the life of me unless i pay $300 just for the can ..

check the diameter of your the mid pipe coming from the header and check the inless to the can .. Im almost sure that there are other companys that might < maybe > mate up with your can ..

My akrapovic can is for a 00-01 R1 only problem is the mid-pipe .. i called around they wanted $223+ ship for my years mid pipe, i refuse to pay that just for a mid-pipe .
In my case my hindle hi mount mid pipe is smaller in diameter where it connects to the can then any of the 3 slip-ons i have, unless i find a reducer ..

Is urs a full system ?
did u check the R6 forum ?
ill look up that company I purchased my hi mount mid pipe from .

cant you just take it to somone and get the area messed up fixed? i'd think for $50 if that somoone could reform it if its smashed badly. the area i see smashed dont look like much to fixed for a good swelder or a metal shop.

i just looked up my hi mount mid pipe .. its 2 inches in diameter from HINDLE , Micron inlet into the can is 2 1/4 inch .. so if u can find a 2 1/4 inch hi mount mid pipe .. you should be good togo .. also just a example of how much just the mid-pipe can cost you brand new not from Micron but of diff makes ..
