Looking for a after market exhaust for my 09 xj6 if anyone has or know of any please let me know, thanks

You got 4 options:

1) Knock the guts out of the original catalyst/silencer unit - it's been done, but is not advisable (you can't do much if you don't like it/it's too loud).

2) Buy a stubby end can, that bolts on, something like: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silencer-Silencer-Exhaust-LeoVince-Tromboncino-Yamaha-XJ6-09-12-8240-/160927312255?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item257803e97f it won't be that loud as it bolts on, but it is easy to do. Also won't be lighter. This route is popular as it doesn't create unknowns.

3) Buy a full system, like: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XJ6-Exhaust-System-by-GPR-road-legal-/130813349262?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1e75154d8e , not cheap, but pukka and much lighter than stock. Might need a power commander - but unlikely.

4) Fit R6 headers (from an 03-05 R6) and an end can of your choice (i actually did this on my first XJ6) like:http://www.fz6r-forum.com/forum/f89/modified-06-r6-exhaust-09-6r-19670/ note: the american FZ6R and the XJ6 are pretty much the same bike.

HTH

by the way, please go to the new members area and introduce yourself - it's good manners, cheers.

Thanks, was looking through and saw someone used 98-02 r6 headers will they work like the 03-05 ones?

I wouldn't like to say; the 03-05 header definitely fit, because the engine is externally identical and because I actually did it (the pipes have to be a little dented to clear the sump, but it's just a little, careful hammer work).

What about the O2 sensor with the r6 03-05 headers?

1)Run it without - the ecu only references the o2 when cruising or get an o2 eliminator (or make one if you are handy with electronics and a 555 timer chip). i ran without and the bike did not switch on the MIL.

2) get an 02 boss welded on - they are only a few pounds on ebay, be sure to get the right size, can't remember for sure maybe M14.
