The precision-engineered 4-2-1 collector design is crafted from V4A stainless steel, delivering an unmistakable acoustic character alongside genuine gains in power and torque across the entire rev range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-2-1 full stainless steel header (V4A grade) supplied complete with all fitting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Akrapovic Carbon slip-on silencers for a refined sporting note and with Akrapovic Titanium slip-on silencers for an intense racing sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso compatible with Akrapovic standard (OEM replacement) silencers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimised collector geometry improves flow for increased power and torque throughout the rev range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor closed-circuit competition use only — not road-legal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECU remapping recommended to extract maximum performance and protect engine longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe header carries the hallmarks of Akrapovic's manufacturing philosophy: clean weld beads, consistent tube geometry and a polished stainless finish that ages gracefully under race conditions. Unlike aftermarket headers that treat finish as an afterthought, every section of the E-Y6R5 reflects the same attention to detail found on the full Evolution and Racing Line systems. It is a component that looks as purposeful mounted beneath a YZF-R6 fairing as it does on the workshop bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Sound\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4-2-1 configuration is the result of Akrapovic's development work on the YZF-R6 platform across multiple racing seasons. By pairing this header with either a Carbon or Titanium Akrapovic slip-on silencer, riders unlock a sound profile and performance character that a slip-on alone cannot achieve. The mid-range torque benefit is particularly noticeable on the R6's high-revving inline-four, making corner exits noticeably more responsive. ECU remapping is strongly recommended to ensure fuelling is matched to the improved exhaust flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned and developed specifically for the Yamaha YZF-R6 from 2008 through to 2026. Compatible with the full range of Akrapovic slip-on silencers for the YZF-R6, including Carbon and Titanium variants, as well as Akrapovic standard silencers. This header is intended exclusively for track and competition use and carries no road-use approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: E-Y6R5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: 4-2-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: V4A stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes all mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: competition\/track only — not road-legal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Yamaha YZF-R6 (2008-2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible silencers: Akrapovic Carbon slip-on, Akrapovic Titanium slip-on, Akrapovic standard silencer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168701997322,"sku":"E-Y6R5","price":820.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/E-Y6R5.png?v=1780811531","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/ja\/products\/akrapovic-e-y6r5","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
