Default Carbon Fiber vs Titanium

I am looking to put a Two Brothers slip on exhaust on my 07 zx6r and was wondering which one would look better on my bike, or if there are other exhausts that would be good on this bike.

Welcome to the Forum. Nice Bike!Carbon Fiber would look best on your bike/ color scheme. Ofcourse, I am biased; I love Carbon! The new Leo Vince Carbon is a great looking pipe on the 07's. That is a Full system however and fairly expensive. Sum of all Parts will give you a good deal if you choose to get the Full. One of the members here has that system.

i am addicted to cf, but honestly, it depends on the application.. if theres gonna be alot of heat involved, like with dyno tuning for drag racing, c.f will deteriorate faster.... it deteriorates sitting out in the sun as well, so if shes not undercover alot, that can will look crappy in a year or 2..
the cf matches well tho, like everyone else said..but accessorize appropriately. i personally like function over form, but thats just me!!

welcome to KF bro!!

hmm, the link is TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
I wanted to see the ride.
Certain weaves of CF look good. As mentioned, any lack of airflow and high UV exposure will deteriorate the finish, then the weave.

The bike came stock with those rims and forks. I thought it looked the best out of all the other color schemes. I am looking to mod the bike with different red accents thoughout the bike. Thanks for all the help in deciding CB or TI Can
