Won't anything that replaces the cat converter make more HP? Anyway, I thought those R6's don't need more HP, they need mid-range torque. Somewhere, I have a Motorcyclist mag from 2006 or 07 where they tuned an R6 for partial-opening of the throttle, and got a big increase in torque, using the PCIII. Most runs on the dyno are done at full-throttle. I'll look for that mag on Sat or Sun.

I have the exact one. The owner needed a '09 R6 to mock up before he started selling them for the '09. Parts and labor were free (he lives in Vegas). I noticed increased throttle response and mid range. Not "Holy shit!" increases, but they're there. I haven't got a power commander yet, but there are maps out there for them. I'm just gonna get mine dyno-tuned when I get a PC though. No issues with mine yet. And without the cat, the stock slip-on is loud as fuck.
