New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA

Recommended Posts

I’m seeing a lot of posts about what exhaust cans to get for the system. Here’s my two. Cents.
Long time ago FMF racing made a dual can system for these bikes, those days are long gone.

  What I was able to do and research is that any exhaust system off of a similar year Yamaha R1 can be fitted up to a custom splitter pipe. Which sfdownhill fabricated for my particular project 

I wasn’t expecting him to knock this completely out of the park with such an awesome fabricated job.

Tell us some more about this sfdownhill. All I got from searching was skateboard stuff. That's some mighty fine workmanship.

For those who aren't on FB and haven't seen this video. This is what the VFRD Headers can DO for you!
 The VFRD Headers are Well Worth the Pennies... FYI, My YT channel has many other videos.

More VFR800 headers will be built!

 

First off - as always - thanks a metric ton to Duc2V4 for all he's done to suit up and show up on this thread and throughout the header project. He is and always has been a stand up guy for anyone who owns a VFR [or any motorcycle that's not a Harley] and has been helping me get through this late fall - solid as a rock.

 

Second shout out goes to VFRD member Ziffer for posting the latest list [see above] of people interested in headers for their 5, 6, and/or 8 gen VFR800s!

 

I dropped by Wade's shop last week, totally unannounced because I was nowhere near the neighborhood, 12-pack of 805 ale in hand, and saw him building exhausts. No more hot glue experiments, he's back to cutting and welding stainless steel tubes together. And he's willing to bend, cut, and weld some for VFRs [Those of you who were along at the beginning of this thread recall Wade's rather - shall we say - 'gruff' nature].

 

Syntax error - my apologies because I just fumbled at the 5 yard line when I went to copy/paste the list above and accidentally deleted 35 minutes of writing I'd done for this post. Sorry but it's late and I'll post again tomorrow with more details. Part of the self-deleted post was me realizing I failed to ask Wade if the price remains the same as it was two years ago when we placed our last order. I'll text him to death tomorrow and get accurate details and instructions posted here.

To save trawling through 57 pages, could someone please reiterate whether a PC or other such device is required with this? It's been so long I've forgotten. Any other requirements - mounting etc?

 

Many thanks.

Hey Skids - a Power Commander, Rapid Bike, or other fuel management system is not required, but the VFR's engine exhales so differently with the WiLD headers that it would significantly diminish the effectiveness of the headers to not adjust the inhale [fueling] to match the new exhale [exhaust]. Guys have been getting good results using the Power Commander maps we had done for the headers on 5, 6, and 8 gens, so you can get 98.5% of the benefit of tuning without taking your VFR to the dyno.

But you will need a PC, RB, or other tuneable fuel management system.

Are these headers being produced again? If they are can I be placed on the current list? I have a 1998 Honda VFR.

 

It looks like it. I'm sure your name will be picked up and added to the list.  :beer:

I delivered papers when I was a kid. I remember there were some people who didn't want to pay the two dollars they owed! :angry:

Any idea of the cost yet?

I don't know. I think the last round was around $1700.
