I just picked up this muffler a few days ago. It is the Carbon Fiber version with stainless steel endcaps.  :icon_mrgreen:

I decided to go with the RACE baffle, and the quiet insert as the best setup. The other baffle type available is the ZYCLONE version, which is very close to stock. I was told by Yoshimura that many people send them their cans to have the race baffle installed as the Zyclone baffle was too quiet. :dunno_white:


Here is the pipe mounted. I painted the mid-pipe with High-heat manifold paint. 8)


As you can see, Yoshimura pipes are designed with subtle but unique features such as the engraved endcap and muffler strap. ;)


Here is a rear shot. Notice that the can is OVAL.  :icon_razz:


Here is the muffler just after I assembled the custom bent mid-pipe to the muffler. This setup weighs about 8 pounds less than stock!  :cheers:

After I finished I fired the beast up. It sound EXACTLY how a TWIN should, nice and DEEP! It sound more like a Ducati Monster. I find it is not extremelly loud, but it gets pretty loud when you go full throttle to 9000 rpm.  As for jetting, all I did was shim the needles and the bike runs perfectly.  For quality, fit and finish... no one can beat Yoshimura! :thumb:

I brought the bike to a local muffler shop. He used a jig-saw to cut off the old pipe and custome bent the mid pipe out of 2 and 3/8 ths stainless with a 3 hole flange from a chevy on the end.

It looks awesome... except for the huge ugly badge they stick on the pipe.  I don't understand why Yosh does that.

The muffler was for a Hayabusa GSXR1300, it was the left over muffler for the RIGHT side of the bike

Can you find out the part # for the "Chevy Flange" or at least where it belongs.  It would make things easier for future reference.
