New Header / Head Pipe

[rcl_00]

I am looking for a header for my 06 Katana 600. I am having trouble finding any aftermarket products. I am hoping someone can give me some direction on where to look or what they have used to upgrade their stock headers. Thanks

what bike do you have? You're having trouble finding after market parts because there isn't any. A Bandit 1200 Header and a Katana 750 on a 600 works also. Do this too:

I would assume a header that states it fits a 2001 + bandit 1200 would fit my 06 katana?

[arsenic]

a 99+ will fit, you just need other parts, ask rok_stars_bars, I sold him one

As far as i'm aware all bandit 12 downpipes are the same from the first 95 up to 01 i'm not sure after that

surely bandit 12 downpipes will be too long top to bottom for a 600 due to the shorter 600 engine thats the way it works on a swap between b6 & b12 anyway

Edit: On the B12 header the OD on the header is 1.5 inch HUGE. Compare to the Katana. Its looks mean and plus it is Stainless so it look great. Look at my Avatar see the nice shiny B12 header

Well Tone we meet again. I just install a B12 Header on my 98+ 600 not to long ago. Now I wouldn't recommend this swap unless planing on installing GSXR 750 cams. U will lose alittle Low end. Makes it alittle annoying having to downshift more often. If you install a B12 header you can run it without cams but a jet kit is a must. Get Factory Pro. Ivan isn't made for aftermarket headers. But it will run with ivan very well. But if you install cams you will need factory pro jet kit. No problem in having two different jet kit. Unless you are like me and didn't plan on cam at first.

Click now the link below to read the thread it will explain everything to do when installing a B12 header. It does sit 1/2 lower then OEM and requires alittle cutting nothing big through

D&D makes aftermarket headers for them...i have them on my 06 600 and love it. gotta get a jet kit to go with tho

no kidding, that a FULL system, not just an after market HEADER. Hindle does too, and yoshi, etc, etc, etc.

Dale Walker (HoleShot) does too. But according to his website if you don't buy his slip-on you cant get his header.

BTW, that's a Bandit after market header, even though I know it will work on a Katana, it's NOT an after market tuna part, cause there aren't any

I have a FULL Hindle exhaust system (header, collectors, midpipe and can). It was not cheap (close to a grand), but its awesome.

I got a B12 Header with welds grinded and polished. A Yoshi RS-3 Slip-on. Both are used. But total cost $200 together.

where did you find your Hindle system? I suppose I could always sell my Carbon Leo Vince pipe to recoup some of the cost. It has only been on my bike for about a month.
