So i have been researching exhausts for my S2R 800 (2006) and it seems like the slip-on's only work up to the 2005 model year. Anyone know why?
Maybe the info you are reading is old?
If they are slip-ons, I don't see why they wouldn't fit.
that's my thinking, why wouldn't slip ons fit?
Possibly different mounting? Not really sure though. Are you saying they are listed for the 2005 S2R?
Yup, only listed through 2005 model year
I believe if it's listed for a 2005 S2R, it will work on your 2006 S2R. Just different years, same exhaust setup though.
they will fit
difference in the 05 and 06 is the udder is a true catalyst on the 06.
they will probably fit but they won't be technically street legal -- that's the only thing I can think of.
the bikes are identical in every way exc for the udder.
Don't understand why it wouldn't be street legal if i'm replacing something AFTER the catalyst. Anyway i emailed Akrapovic and got a reply back saying that it would fit.

noise regulations. EPA regulates exhaust emissions and overall noise emissions.
if they are street legal, it will have "DOT/EPA APPROVED" prominently.
