The sub frame on a 06 is 10mm diffrent from a 05.

When I bought mine 11/1/06 and I swear I had one of the first 06 WR I bought a 05 slip on thinking it was the same-NO.

I am also a Woodworker- Norm type stuff- and I ended up taking a aluminum meter stick and making it into a bracket(no small sacrifice-I do all my woodworking in metric). I then went to the Auto parts store and got two Rubber Gorments. I figured it would last a little while, one year and looks the same as the day I did it:thumbsup:

Thats wierd! How come alot of the aftermarket companies list pipes for the WR as 03-06?

ask Matty, he just runs the header with a chevy drop pipe welded onto it.

Sorry mate, they are exactly the same.

Part number 5TJ-21190-80-00.

You are installing the slip-on incorrectly, my guess is that you are either pushing it on the header too far, or not enough.

Nothing, they both need replacement with an aftermarket muffler.

Yea, your not doing something right. I pulled the FMF system off my '04 YZF and it fit perfectly.
