zx6r speedfreak · June 6, 2009

well today i got my magnaflow and installed it and what not, sounds awesome.... but i have a problem, it sounds good in v8 mode but when it goes to v4 it rattles really bad and i dont know what it could be, everything is tight and its not touching anything and it only happens in v4 mode.... any input would be sweet

Heat shield rattling... or turn off afm? Most guys do program that off.

which version ( heat sheild loose , when cold , when hot ) ???

I had the same problem when I installed my Magnaflow...having Justin (Black Bear) disable the AFM is what worked for me. My whole truck shook...not any one part specifically (heat shield, etc.).

dont have my heat shield on and its only around 55 or above i kind of wish i would have gotten a tune now since i went with a edge programmer instead

temp as in at start up while the metal reaches operating temp or at operating temp - which system did you get ?

Kilo-9 - you still like your 16746 exhaust ( exit in front of rear tire ) ???

i got the 16741 duals..... i looked at it today again and actually at the end of the intermediate pipe the hanger is on the gromet but its touching the frame any ideas on how to pull it away from the frame?

Afm = no real difference, but nice bike ;)

I have 05 636 Zx6R with a Yoshi R5 / eliminator kit.

I LOVE it...the sound is sweet and I love the look. Pretty much every vehicle I have ever owned has had two pipes out the rear...I was ready for something different.

somewhat off topic - but if you have a computer with a 64 bit Vista - the program to run the

Edge / Evolution does not work - supposedly late summer 09 fix.. ( to run updates )

i suppose it worked cause my shifts are firmer and i went from 16.8 in the quarter mile to 15.3..... and my average mpg is up too...

I had this exact problem with two different exhaust systems from Magnaflow. I returned my dual kit and got a single kit. Magnaflow said that it has never seen the problem. I just slide the grommet over further and cut the end off. It has been that way for a year with no problems.
