Default Exhaust and Tire question

Hey there guys. I am looking to put an exhaust and a new rear tire on my 2001 ZX6R (blue). I emailed a guy about a practically new micron S/o that he was selling 200 obo. Is this good deal ( i have seen the pipe in person since I bought my bike off of him, and it looks great).

Also my bike has pirelli tires all around. Rear one is shot, front is like new. I was thinking about putting 180/55-ZR17 Michelin pilow powers on the back. I just ride my bike on street, so would I have to change my front pirelli tire as well?

Basically, what exhaust and rear tire do you suggest for my 2001 ZX6R. Thanks.

stick to the same brand as the front tire. two different tires can cause bad handling and unpredictable handling. trust me i know , when i first got my bike it had 2 different tires and it felt drifty around corners.pipe is your personal preference, seems cheap though if it really is almost new.

+1 for keeping the tires the same. I got mine with two diffrent tires on it and it didn't not feel very good.

Not just keeping with the same brand but also the same model

I would change both tires just to be safe. I'm thinking of getting a set of the conit attacks for my next set of tires for the bike.
