If you're just looking for a slip-on pipe, it's probably true. I got my '01 gixxer 600 when it first came out and there were no pipes available for the '01 models, only up to the '00 models. The dealer knew the Yoshimura RS-3 that I wanted would still fit this model, since the parts were the same size, so he installed it for me and it worked just fine. Your dealer will probably be able to tell you if the part will fit or not, unless he's lazy and doesn't want to do the research.
