i thought i remember reading that the termi y-pipe actually includes the header part, but don't quote me on that.

 

no it does not. no difference between the looks besides looks. they both come with the cat gutted.

 

No performance difference.

Appearance wise, the "Y" section is different. On the Termi, the 2 pipes split further down the pipe where as the Akra pipes converge much sooner.

I would save the $ and go with the Akra. It's great quality and a nice looking piece to boot.

 

Can I use the termi pipes with the akra y pipe?
The termi y pipe is a absolute rape @ $500 for the 07-08

 

Yup. The Akra Y pipe works with pretty much everything out there.

 

Thanks for your guys replies.
So I guess the Termignoni Y-Pipe will be out of business soon.

 

the termi y pipe is MUCH larger and goes to the canisters i believe. That's why it costs so much more. Has nothing to do with the headers, but it goes back to the canister I believe.

 

I bought the Yoshi and it fits perfect on my 06 R1. It's a lot lighter too. See the pic of the Yoshi next to the stock Y pipe. I ground down the edges on the Yoshi Y pipe where the slip-ons attach to make them start on easier. The other pic is the A&R baffle next to the stock baffle. Big difference there too. I figured I'd just throw that one in there since I had it.

 

OOPS !!! I meant Akrapovic Y-Pipe. I had Yoshimura stuck in my head from another bike. Sorry for the confusion. I should say my Akra Y-pipe fits perfect....:repo:

 

The Akra Y pipe will work with any slip ons just like the stock cat would, and i can tell you, there is plenty of noticeable heat difference...and it's a HELL of a lot lighter than the stock Y pipe, and the engine revs faster and stronger too....

The Termignoni Y pipe on the 07/08 only fits the termi cans, unlike the 04-06, it connects at the mufflers, not at the link pipes....and is wayyy overpriced, but does look good with the termi's and comes with a nice carbon heat shield....

i put a universal carbon works heat shield on my Y pipe

the welds are really nice too....and a great buy for the price, well worth it

 

sorry this image i meant for the previous reply.. dont know what happened when i tried to erase the text and edit.

 

I'm about to install a akra y pipe, before i tear sheit apart...what do I do with the sensor on the from the stock y pipe...seems like the akra does not have a place for the sensor...

 

I was actually just doing some digging around regarding Y-pipes (specifically Termi's Y-pipe) and I found out some interesting info...

I called a Termignoni dealer in Canada (who claimed to have extensive experience with Termi exhaust systems) and he told me that Termignoni makes two different Y-pipes:

-One that comes with the Titanium Competition Full System
-One that you can buy seperately to replace your stocker (stainless steel)

He said that there is a huge difference between the two.

The Y-pipe that comes with the Competition Full System has a much larger diameter at the bottom of the "Y" where it connects to the mid-pipe/headers. But the diameter of where it connects to the exhaust cans are the same diameter as the stainless steel Y-pipe that you can buy seperately. So, the Competition (titanium) Y-pipe will NOT fit stock headers. He also said that the Competition (titanium) Y-pipe is usually NOT sold seperately.

The Termignoni stainless steel Y-pipe that you can buy seperately is designed for the street version of the exhaust (Termignoni Strada Standard Mount Full System), and this Y-pipe has identital diameter specs to that of a OEM R1 Y-pipe.

The stainless steel Y-pipe is only $139.99 (part #446-8000) and can be found here: http://www.exoticsportbike.com/r1_(04-05)1.htm.

The Termignoni Y-pipe for $450 that you are talking about may be the Y-pipe from the Titanium Competition Full System.

As far as the Akrapovic Y-pipe...I don't really know much about that pipe, but I did find it (part# 425-2630) for $149.00 at: http://www.exoticsportbike.com/yzf_r1_(04-06)2.htm.

Hope that helps.

 

I think that link is for the wrong year bike. I went to the 07-08 R1 and the stainless y pipe was still like $499 on that site

 

Yeah, you're right.
That price is for the 04-06.
Sorry bout that.

 

akra y pipe is nice just look at the welds on it when you get it. nice pipe for the money

 

I like the akra Y pipe. It must be good if its on backorder, lol

 

A & R has them in stock

 

Hey guys. I just got a Termi Y Pipe and CF slip ons for my 06 R1. The Y pipe didn't come with a clapm and the diameter of the stock clamp is too wide. Anyone no where to get a clamp that is smaller in diameter?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

I'm buying a set of Termi slip-ons for my 2007.

Will an Akrapovic Y-Pipe fit?

Thanks,
John

 

yes it will. fit good for me.

these GYTR's look awesome. the tail on 07 and up R1 are short by mm's.
i rate them the best in both performance and looks by far. :thumbup

 

Does anyone know if you have to remove the o2 sensor when installing an Akra y pipe? does the akra y pipe have an O2 sensor opening where you can screw it in?

 

you don't have to, the correct map should disable it. there is a whole with a supplied plug if you wish to remove the sensor. i left mine in and umplugged the wire from under the gas tank.

 

Thanks, but what i meant was if the Akra Y Pipe has an o2 Sensor opening at all?? Because i have been searching the web, but cant seem to find any pic of the Akra Y Pipe (not the one for the full system...i mean the Y pipe for the slip-Ons). Because i got the akra slip ons and just ordered the y pipe and i do want to keep using my o2 sensor (dont have a PCIII yet).
There also seems to be 2 different types of akra y pipes..the ones that come with the full sytem (these definately do have an o2 sensor opening), and the one i just ordered...

 

Plug your o2 sensor in with no FI module, but if you plan on getting one very shortly, I would leave it out because the screw plug that comes with it is already safety wired on.....

shouldn't cause any issues, all the o2 sensor does is lean out the fuel at a steady cruising RPM.....doesn't adjust all the time, with a PC, it should be taken out so the PC can do it's job with no interference

 

So youre saying that the Akra Y pipe (not the one that comes with the full system..i mean the Akra y-pipe that you can buy for like 200$) does have an opening for the O2 Sensor?

 

yes. there is a threaded hole to put the o2 sensor in. there is also a plug supplied if you wish to plug the hole and remove the o2 sensor.

Don't see whether this is the Ti joint or Stainless,

If Ti, the difference is the ways the metal is going to react to heat. The different brands react different ways. You will have definitely notice two different pieces once the Y and Slipons heatup.

I had a WSB Titanium Termingoni Full exhaust on my R1. After a major wreck, I substituted a Titanium Giannelli Slipon to the Termingoni Y. It definitely looks like I have two different systems on the exhaust even though they are both Ti and same fit. Not a big deal for me, but they have different blueing reactions. If I was concerned, I'd def stick with one brand.

 

who uses Y-pipes? :dunno

 

It should have a removable block for the sensor. Check again.....it usually has a piece of wire twisted on it...clip it off and unbolt it.

 

Will the akra Y pipe also work with the stock cans?

 

On topic: Yes they should fit together

 

another dead thread bump, but i was wondering is the akra y pipe for the 04-06 is supposed to come with the bolt for the frame connector or do i use the stock screw? hope it makes sense.

 

Kingnba6,

I'm in Flushing/Bayside. I've got a spare Y Pipe if your looking for the 04/06 R1.. Got a bunch of parts.
