They do, they are called Staintunes and they mount exactly like the stock exhaust. I have had them on my '06 for six years and they still look like new and they come with a lifetime warranty. However, quality does not come cheap.
Very nice! I must have not looked close enough at those, due to the price. Direct from Staintune for around $1400 delivered is the lowest price I can find. Hmmmm....They do, they are called Staintunes and they mount exactly like the stock exhaust.

I've got Staintunes on my 08 and either with or without the db killers installed they are killer. The 2nd. Gen. FJR's also had cats in the mufflers, another reason to get rid of them. The Staintunes sound good, install like stock, stay beautiful and are 9 pounds lighter than stock (total) but like the man said, they ain't cheap. The cats that are beneath the bike in the main exhaust isn't restrictive on a stock motor but at the end of the day it's the cams in the FJR that need replacing because at 230 degrees @ .040 lift they are too small for a motor like the one in the FJR. Web cams is grinding cams for these things now and has a profile that works great in this application. The FJR has a very tall gear and subsequently you have to be conservative on the cam timing or you will have a dog until 6000 rpm or so which is not kosher on a bike with a 3.90 top gear.They do, they are called Staintunes and they mount exactly like the stock exhaust.

I've got a set of Staintunes on mine as well, picked em up used from SkotterG on this forum 2 years ago. Note the brackets that hold them on, and also you can see the difference from the back...I've got Staintunes on my 08 and either with or without the db killers installed they are killer. The 2nd.

Here's how they look from the side, clean and no bracket. You can't see it here, but they shine way more than the factory cans.
ATILLA,
Got a question for ya. You said somebody's grinding cams for an FJR? I've never heard of this. Shed a little more light on that if you will.

Well, y'see, cars need tires. They just don't move well running on rims alone....unless they're on railroad tracks.
I had better be the buddy you speak of. If not, and someone else gets them, and I have to keep looking, I'm gonna pee in your gastank the first time I see you.

AJ,
They use different mid pipes for different bikes that way they use the same can to keep cost down, Staintunes have a solid system and you pay for it.
I know, but I'm a
Yes, you do! I start my new job on Monday, after being out for almost 9 months, so I think Staintunes are a bit out of the budget right now for me. They do look nice, however.
I just picked up a set of Vance and Hines CSone pipes they have a solid mid pipe connection, I currently have the Leo Vince carbon ovals.
They do? Not according to what I can find:
They still have the strap but the mid pipe to the cans are welded, the front section has a band to the headers.
