| 2006 ZX-10 pipe. Just when I thought you couldn't make the 06 ZX-10 any uglier......Two Brothers goes and does this. http://www.twobros.com/cgi-bin/shopp...Vale_2006.html |

| Re: 2006 ZX-10 pipe. I gotta say that looks like an improvement over the stock pontoons. |

| Re: 2006 ZX-10 pipe. I'm sorry but I just think that the Two Brothers V.A.L.E can is the ugliest contraption in the exhaust market. Looks way too dirtbike-like. |

| Re: 2006 ZX-10 pipe. Really nice pic phobe, well except for that V.A.L.E can. It just looks way out of place. |

| Re: 2006 ZX-10 pipe. I don't think it's THAT bad. Anything's better than the stocker. It does stick out from the tail a bit though. (Phobe's pipe, not ZX-10R) |

The two bros pipes look pretty lame. I think the problem with the above pic is basically it's like putting a round peg into a rectangular hole. Sure, it fits, but it doesn't look right. Some of the aftermarket cans come out made to fit the space nicely and they look so much better for it.
Plus ... the tip ... erghghg .... looks like a poop chute! |

| Re: 2006 ZX-10 pipe. Just slap on an '04-'05 tail section on it with the '04-'05 fairings...  I hate the way the new bike looks
I used to own an '04 10r... very mean/sweet bike http://www.roadrashed.com/Smilies/tomatoethrow.gif
Ah.. too bad they fall apart while riding.. My front wheel was recalled cuz it could crack my 10r's front end came off the bike after landing a not so hard wheelie.(the cheesy plastic stay broke and the whole front end was laying on my front fender. The radiator mount bent and the rad fan hit the headers and melted
and to think I never ever wrecked the bike and I had to replace parts on it.
But it was one mean mota I'll tell you... made the 929rr feel like a moped |

| Re: 2006 ZX-10 pipe. If you got one of those shorty low exhausts like the new R6 is going to have. The new 10r might just look good. That two brothers exhaust looks like  |
