Title: comparison
Post by: mes_423 on January 31, 2004, 08:46:07 AM
has anyone compared the sound of the full yosh exhuast to the full vance and hines system.
which is louder?
more performance?
size/wieght?
cooler looking?
i have the yosh (thanks kevinC) i was just curious. see my dad has a harley and when were both riding down the road or just idleing you can barely here my bike. unless i crank the throttle.

The Yosh will give you 1 to 2 more horsepower than the V&H, but the V&H sounds better IMO.  The V&H is more throaty, while the Yosh is a little poppy like bubbles on idle.

If you want loud, I'm getting ready to take the 2into2 straight piped exhaust off of my gs450ld(it might fit the 500, I don't know), and put a used factory 2into2 on.  If your interested, I'll sell the straight pipes cheap and you pay shipping.  From what I've seen on bikes over the past couple of years, the V&H seems to be more common, but the Y. seems to show up on the more realistic and better prepared bikes.

96gs, if you want your gs to sold close to your dad's ride, the only thing you can do to get it close is to remove the can and run a straight pipe...
