Yamaha R6 LeoVince Factory Exhaust Install & Sound Test [AIS Sensor/EXUP + K&N Air Filter Install]

Finally got my Yamaha R6 sounding proper! With the LeoVince Factory S exhaust, this thing sounds like a complete animal! It is everything I hoped and dreamed of and I am 100% happy with it. This install video is quite comprehensive. We remove the AIS sensor as well as the EXUP servo box. Then we install a K&N Air Race Filter for the R6 and finish off with the exhaust install. Stay tuned for first ride / first impression video to come!

The air filter comes greased because that's how it filters the air. The grease catches the particles as your bike intakes air!

[@PetroHead]

Good to know! thank you.. 🙏

[@Baleur]

22:50 duuuude, love how you can almost hear a pulse in the engine idle, its alive.

[@24james]

Great vid. Very helpful info! All of your R6 vids have been extremely helpful in me modding my 2019 R6👍🏽

[@PetroHead]

Awesome bro... Got a few more things coming soon. Stay tuned 👍

[@Ibarbecuekids]

Your bike is a beauty and you give inspirational advice from a R3 rider

[@stephenweewoo]

It’s crazy I came here just for the O2 sensor part, no video on KZbin has it

[@kikobruni]

This video was a joy to watch!!! Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!!!

[@PetroHead]

Thanks bro!

[@rudedog3529]

RE: Air Filter Grease: Grease on perimeter is to help seal the edge and make it easier to slip into groove on the airbox. The filter element has a light oil, like 0 wt, or even the consistency of WD 40.

[@ZVManning]

I'm an akropavic guy. I put my full system on my r3. By myself. Very easy, much easier than car lol. Just take your time and do it right ya know. Hardest part was making sure the header bolts are all the same. Especially now with 4 headers vs 2 on the r3 lol. If I get the r6 though ain't no way I'm touching a 2k exhaust for awhile 🤣. Also weird you had to take off the o2. My akrop came with a spot for it.

[@PetroHead]

Emissions BS (C02 and EXUP) are disabled via the ECU upgrade so no need for the dead weight.

[@ZVManning]

@@PetroHead you and your weight loss :P

[@kikobruni]

Can't wait to watch the next videos!!! Congratulations for the 4000 thousand mark!!! You deserve it!!! Greentings from Brazil!!!

[@PetroHead]

Thank you! Hard work pays off 😉

[@jtg5928]

ah the joy of working several hours on your bike. That's what i felt after working on my Ninja 400. Also, definitely sounds way better without the baffle

[@PetroHead]

What do you think about how it sounds stock / baffles in / baffles out? (stay tuned for first impressions ride video coming soon!)

[@bassboosted9708]

Love the sound of tour exhaust man. I quickly searched Leo Vinced after watching another video comparing it to other aftermarket exhaust. Good job on the DIY. More power on your channel.

[@PetroHead]

@@bassboosted9708 Thank you!

[@arride4590]

Thank very much. Ill do on my R6 after first oil change. I just put slip on exhaust. I want louder so soon ill remove the cat. Your video is very helpful!

[@sjcorona1940]

woah! this video was full of joy and i really love it😊 From philippines❤

[@PetroHead]

Thanks!! Sub for more to come! 👍

[@rudedog3529]

The flanges are usually a pretty close tolerance fit to exhaust tubing. Usually easier to assemble with flanges already on tubing. Akra, for example , usually already come that way.

[@PetroHead]

Damn, that's good thinking.. wish we attached flanges to headers first oh well.. lol

[@hycrexxiaTP]

very nice looking and sounding R6! Great video!

[@PetroHead]

Thank you!

[@WesleySoNice]

21:00 I felt that 😂

[@antoniogori1017]

Hi mate nice video, I was wondering if you capped the air box where the air intake was connected, I think you did but the video did noy show it, by the way iit is best to put the cap from the inside the airbox because it is the part that goes in pressure, if you installed in the bottom of the airbox even with a cable tie you risk to lose it,(it happened to me ;))

[@Motogamna]

Baffles out👍🏽👍🏽. Get it tuned too.

[@PetroHead]

That's next.

[@Blkvise]

Hi nice video, btw I think a piece of the Heat fabric cover got caught pinch while installing the block off plate check 12:34 you can see it.

[@PetroHead]

yea, we took care of that before we closed things up. Thanks for noticing though!

[@rudedog3529]

RE: O 2 Plug on Pipe : Would have been better to resolve the issue of seating before pipe install. I have come across some Akra that were cross threaded. I have correct taps to clean threads.

[@gertjanweststrate7267]

Wauw!!! Awesome. What a machine!! Sounds better without baffle, but maybe on a long ride you want to put it back in. Anyways. This is so cool. Let us 👂 the rev’s soon. Grtz from your 🇳🇱fan

[@raymondwong1298]

are you located in California by any chance? I've always wanted a Leo Vince full exhaust but no websites I've found sells a full exhaust Leo and ships to CA because of CARB laws

[@PetroHead]

Yes CA.. have it shipped to friend/family out of state and then ship to CA.

[@gueroarias]

My 2017 has the same stock air filter. I don't understand why they minimized the air channel to half the size of the filter..

[@rudedog3529]

Was tubing stainless or TI ? Did you wipe down with brake cleaner or WD 40 to avoid finger print stains ?

[@PetroHead]

TI and Yes.

[@Steve-td7ne]

Great vidéo bro, your channel make me buy an r6 too 😅. Now i'm gonna make the same modifications but let me know something, why do you remove the ais sensor ? Is it much better ?. Thx from Paris ✌️

[@PetroHead]

It is smog related and together with C02 sensor removal and a tune, it increases performance. Mod list is in the description if you want to support me! 👍

[@averagefz0749]

did you have to replace the exhaust gaskets when installing the exhaust

[@rudedog3529]

Was there a plug included to take the place of the plug removed for the air / smog or servo ? Some pipes have that to avoid the dreaded engine code light.

[@PetroHead]

Yes and I currently have a CEL but that will be removed with the tune. Disables Smog / AIS sensor from the ECU.

[@takeshiasano7337]

Great Video, this will save my time guessing what to do. I cant wait to install my Akra to my 2020 r6 same like urs. any problems that you encounter that is not included in the video?

[@PetroHead]

Nope... any and all problems faced was documented in the video. Honestly, this is the most COMPREHENSIVE demonstration on exhaust / air mods for the R6 on YT at the moment (in one video). Just follow it and you will do fine. If you haven't ordered your Akra yet, I would suggest getting the LEO just like mine. It is the best tbh.

[@PetroHead]

@Rom Mabanta yes, watch all the videos.

[@jcc45069]

How do you remove the db killer? Is it by removing the hex bolt? It seems like it is welded on the metal

[@WillandRambo]

Twist it and it'll come loose. Try using your teeth LOL! j/k

[@MazdaBonez]

Excellent! im rocking the same on my 2018 R6! check into a Translogic auto blipper with a quick shifter. its fully plug and play

[@PetroHead]

I'm ordering that along with my Tune. Sub to be notified of videos of both when it arrives. 👍

[@MazdaBonez]

@@PetroHead only thing i recommend with installing, is the 12v source to make it downshift blip is splice it to your rear license plate light and not the front brake 12v source. so you can blip down whenever ABOVE 3000 rpm. thats the lowest limit for it to work.

[@PetroHead]

@@MazdaBonez What is the factory preset to shift at/below at the current moment if I splice to front brakes and what is the difference?

[@SamAlbanna-tj3gq]

How did you manage to by pass CEL? I contacted Dynojet and they don’t have a map that will allow me to do such. Kind of stuck here.

[@PetroHead]

It’s not tuned

[@SamAlbanna-tj3gq]

So you have it with CEL and all is well?

[@Cam97531]

Did the baffle make a big difference in the noise level? I'm thinking of getting the same setup but worried it might be a little too loud (for me, and the police 😄)

[@PetroHead]

Sound got deeper and louder. Stay tuned for first impression video(S) and final review. (if you don't rev it up, its not too bad... just a very deep bassy sound.. you'll like it.)

[@Cam97531]

@@PetroHead Will do! If possible, would love to see a drive/ride by from a 3rd person perspective in a future video.

[@PetroHead]

@@Cam97531 On it!

[@macregoralcantara9977]

im just sad that yamaha discontinued production of r6 its my dreambike...

[@bassboosted9708]

Do you need a torque value for the screws/bolts/nuts?

[@PetroHead]

No but the only thing requiring torque value is probably the flanges and you can prob google it.

[@gman6177]

Hi dude Iv just ordered this exhaust. 😃 can you fit the 02 sensor back on to the Leo vince? Can it hurt it? Don’t think I will get it flashed. Or do I need to? Thanks bro.

[@PetroHead]

you can fit the 02 sensor back on but flash is $200 and you will need it.. I mean why not? Its power gains all over the place..

[@gman6177]

Hi mate, thanks for reply. Ok cool I don’t know much about this stuff as it’s my first bike. I’m in the uk. Ok sounds like I should get it flashed. Would I be best to leave the senor off? Or would this affect power. As I say I’m a noob at this an don’t really have a clue. LOL to be honest the power is savage as is. LOL I bought the bike with a akra megaphone on it no cat. It is very loud, I’m looking for a perfect sound like yours. 👍🏻

[@PetroHead]

@@gman6177 you're a new rider? Focus on your riding skills and buy some crash protection, proper gear and training instead of spending big money on exhausts.

[@gman6177]

No not a new rider. Been riding bikes most my life. On road and off. I’m just not to clue up with Macanick side of things. An I already own all my own gear. I have everything I need, so why not spend big money on a exhaust I want.

[@PetroHead]

@@gman6177 You wrote "its my first bike" so I figured you're a new rider.

[@user-qt4qw1gj3j]

Is there any problem if I keep riding the bike without using the sensor?

[@PetroHead]

You'll just get an error message but an ECU flash can disable it or you can get a servo buddy.
