Default Best Sounding/Loudest Exhaust For A ZX-6R

I was looking at the:

Scorpion Stainless Steel
AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST CARBON FIBER
MUZZY CARBON EXHAUST
Jardine Exhaust Aluminum Slip On Race
Yoshimura RS3 SS s/o exhaust
D&D POLISHED ALUMINUM EXHAUST

Don't really need a full exhaust, just want a s/o. What are your thoughts on these systems?

They don't only race with akropovic . Carbon fiber sucks though, it can't take the extended heat from a lot of high power running. Titainum is the lightests you can get. You'd be suprised how much weight you'll shed with it. You'll get a few more HP out of an Akropovic but you'll pay out the end for it and it won't be worth losing the sound of a Muzzy

$434 Shipped for an Akrapovic Carbon Fiber Slip-On with all Titianium internals for my 2003 ZX-6RR.

Weight:
Stock Exhaust = 13 Lbs.
Akra Exhaust = 5 Lbs.

I have a friend that has a Muzzy and he's had a lot of problems. The joint between the connecting pipe and the can is loose, he's had it fixed twice.

Anyway just my 2 cents!

D&D will be the absolute loudest, but it won't sound nearly as good as other choices.

Are most Exhausts for Kawasaki compatible with older models? Like the 87 - 89 Ninjas?

biggest differences between s/o's is gonna be looks and sound.. not a big power diff. between the different brands even with a full system and custom mapping.. dont get me wrong, some work better than others but with these bikes so fast to begin with, id be willing to lose out on gaining a hp or 2 for something that looked even better.

Then get a Muzzy. Nothing sounds better on a Kawasaki and you only lose a couple hp than if you went with an Akropovic.

Bring it on Green Knight!!

While you're down here, if you're nice I'll let you hear my Akrapovic and I'll convert yet another one to Akrapovic!

J/K!
