Just bought this exhaust on ebay for $255 shipped   how hard was it to cut the stock pipe? Did you use a hacksaw or some other tool? thanks for any info!

Ok got the stock exhaust off with a dremel metel cutter and a hacksaw, wasn't too dreadful. bike sounds mean as hell now, I highly recommend it

Id like to revive this thread with a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere.

I just ordered a yoshi slip on exhaust for my bike after reading many threads and watching handfuls of youtube videos stating that its a great sound exhaust.
I'll be sure to make my one thread once I get it that will include videos of how the bike sounds before and after and in high quality which I couldn't seem to find on youtube.

I was just wondering if the yoshi slip on has the bracket to replace the rubber stoppie for when the center stand when its in its up position.  I can't find any pictures of a yoshi slip on mounted to a gs500 showing it from underneath to clarify if it does or not. So for all those who have the same slip on I'd like to know please. Thanks

Yep.  If I remember correctly,  all you need to do is transfer the rubber over from stock bracket to Yoshi bracket.  If you install the entire assembly correctly, everything should line up as if stock.  You're gonna love it!

Awesome, that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for your quick reply!    Like I said I'll be sure to make my own thread once I receive and install it.

Aban...the bracket with the rubber stopper is at a different angle than the original,but because of where it's welded on the extension pipe it lines-up perfectly to connect with the centre stand.Even my 2013 GS Naked was an exact fit.
I followed instruction recommendations and put high temp TRV silicon at join.

PS....looking at wildcat333 pics the lock nut on the exhaust clamp can be placed in the UPWARDS/angled position and on the INSIDE of the bike........neater look.

Even though many on the boards say this is an easy DIY, the shop said it was a total ***** to cut the oem pipe and to get this to fit perfectly. Totally worth the labor charge in my view.

Either your shop had poorly (really poor) skillful mechs or the blatantly lied to you.

I took my sawzaw and with the exh still on the bike, cut it off and slipped on the new piece and clamped it in place. Its done now so it doesnt matter but you could have handled it easily.

Definitely getting the Yoshi exhaust. Not a fan of the lawnmower sound the stock exhaust gives off.

Did you guys rejetted after having this exhaust put on ?

I have an 09F and I went almost 3 months without jetting when I put my Yoshi on (same one as this thread).  I never had any issues at all, but I cant speak to any long term effects.  I finally jetted when I put my K&N in.
