yyaah so i bought the Yoshimura TRS Slip-On pipe for 318 dollars from starcycle.com ( though you can now buy it for about 290 from ebay. dang!) Sounds nooice. I took off the low volume insert and now my bike has a nice deep rumble.
Love it, good bye sewing machine! However I do feel the lean stock jetting when riding and would recommend rejetting if you get this pipe... I can literally feel the amount of wrist twisting I need to get the bike to do what I want. Rejetting would smooth all that out.
Installation was a snap. I took off the entire exhaust then pencil marked where I needed to cut and hacksawed off the original exhaust. ( Oh I also painted the original headers with high temperature black enamel...looks better no more nasty lookin pipes...recommended!) My buddy's dremmel kit was useful for smoothing out the rough edges of my hacksaw job.
All and all though not a bad time it took only a couple of hours and I'm not the most mechanically inclined guy out there.

I've always wanted to use that. :laugh:
How about a sound check while your at it! :icon_mrgreen:

Lol sorry about the sound...I'll upload that later it is pretty late over here in Texas and the wife is mad that i keep running outside to work on that "damn bike again"
Does sound badass though I will load some sound clips tomorrow when I wake up hung over :laugh:
im kindof confused, you did still have to weld it on right? or does it just clamp on? from the pics i cant tell.
looks great by the way, i tihnk if i ever stumble upon a few hundred dollars i might just have tog et me one. :thumb: :cheers:
No welding required! All I used was a hacksaw, a dremmel to sand down the rough edges and wrenches.
Looks awesome, nice work. :thumb:
But....This thread is worthless without a sound clip! :flipoff: :icon_mrgreen:
Damn yall whine! Here is a tinypic vid of how it sounds. I made it short because I do have neighbors. It gets louder when I actually ride but it is not an obnoxiously loud like a harley. http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=238x1j&s=3
Oh yeah! Sounds nice. I'll quit busting your balls now. :icon_mrgreen:
lol
looks and sounds nice but could u get a picture of where the old and new pipes meet like a clost up lol

The new mid-pipe just slides over the header pipe. Just make sure to cut where they tell u to cut and file down any welding bumps so it slides over.
is it tight fit? no air leaking?
Thats exactly how my Nexxus Exhaust and Predetor exhaust came , they are in 2 piece , the stainless pipes , and the exhaust
no leaks what so ever
hmm might have to get on that lol
i want a pipe but dunno what to get or what kind lol
the bike is not acting strange so I am assuming there is no leak but I will check up on that.
