Question Exhaust mock up

Hello! I've just joined the R9 team with a beautiful mat black edition. Already own track-built 2008 R6R and 2006 R1, the CP3 is just too exciting for the street!

In Europe, the exhaust market is not in the best state. Yoshimura and M4 are not shipped here without importation and shirty European fees. The akra complete titanium race line is the best and cheapest option. Getting full titanium for just 1000€ is the best deal ever from the brand, but I don't like how bulky and long it looks. Other alternatives are much more expensive for just regular steel.

I'm planning on using a second-hand Z900 slip (picture for reference, found some under 200€). Then, find some aftermarket headers from MT09 and ask somebody to craft the middle region. I'm having a hard time finding those headers since most of the stuff put there looks like aliexpress rebranding of doubtful quality.

Any recommendations around this project? I know MT09 headers are compatible with this bike, but I'm afraid of the ground clearance too. I've already seen 2WDW comment on undermount exhaust, and a friend of mine has even scratched the akrapovic line...

Also I've found people selling the baseline exhaust for around 250€. Instead of buying any branded headers, I could keep the original ones, cut the catalytic converter out and fill with tube up to the slip on. Too many possibilities
