wold it be a good or bad idea to buy some pipe cut and weld my own mid-pipe and make a toce style slip on for my 2012 r6 ? i heard that the headers on my bike are ok enough not to have to replace them ?

I did it.

No real reason to pay 150 or whatever dollars, for $10 worth of pipe. Same shit.

If you have the means and knowledge, yes, I would; I've seen some nice ones.

I saw one that looked the an M4 middy (which is the route I went)...

Save $$ for track time??? Or tires

Pretty sure you'll have to invest in some type of fuel management, though.
