Just swapped the headers and deleted the cat on my 2016 R6 huge difference in sound and performance. The bike finally breathes the way it should, and it runs cooler too. I'm running an aftermarket full system, but still playing around with tuning options (likely going for a flashed ECU soon). Anyone else done this? Curious what tunes you're using and if you noticed any good gains after the swap.

I went to the mechanic for the Dynotune, it's better than buying the equipment for this

That sounds awesome! Go ahead and flash that ECU,both 2WDW and FTecu do wonders. You'll notice improved throttle response, better midrange performance, and lower temperatures. Don't forget to disable the AIS and O2 sensors while you're at it
