Title: New Yoshimura TRS install
Post by: weedahoe on November 09, 2012, 06:03:23 PM
And I gotta say, I love it!

Took less than 30 to cut the old off and slip on the new. Very nice! Awesome sound. The sun was already going down but I just had to put on my gear and go out for a test drive. I cant imagine have dual TRS but when I get the other side done I will certainly take more pics and a video.

Right now I just wanted to put it on and see how it sounded. Coming soon I will take it apart, re-pack it and wrap the can with carbon fiber.

But here are some pics for now.

Now u have had this Yoshi for awhile what do u think.....what where the differences from standard.
Was there any rejetting modifications necessary & how will u get "dual TRS"(make your own header pipes)

This is a bit of an older thread. I sold this Yoshi and bought a new pair made for a Busa where one is on each side. I also bought the Busa mid pipes so I could cut the flanges off the ends and weld to new headers (which I had custom made) so they would bolt up. A custom mount had to be welded on the left side to support the mufflers as there is one on the right. I have a new thread with the new setup and even a video showing everything

I didn't know till now it was your video.......watched it last week...............WELL DONE.  :cheers:
Can u remember with your old Yoshi single muffler setup did everything work straight out of the box....any carb mods necessary.

id be willing to guess, with exhaust work, some carb rejetting is a must. not difficult at all.  :thumb:

I've had this same exhaust for a while, carb work is a MUST as it runs lean with this setup (then again i also installed K&N intake stuff at the same time) but its all easy stuff in the long run! well worth it.

On a side note, if you want carbon fiber, buy carbon fiber, i wouldnt wrap on these bikes because of how they sit, just a personal preference though.
