I run my stock pipe! You can barely hear it and I love it!! Helps to keep the Leo's away. :ride:

Well you - yes, I'm not sure about anyone else though...:roflmao:

Anyway, I posted this because I want a deeper sound to my bike and the Jardine isn't quite cutting it. I'm thinking about going with a Yosh....any opinions?

Nice find but it is damn near impossible to get an accurate representation of a pipe through a recorded wav file.

Definitely...and sportrider did a nice job of putting together a pretty lengthy list. I just want to make people aware that the pipe may sound very different on their bike.

True....I've got the Jardine and it's pretty similar to the sound. I'm liking the Yosh....the Micron seems louder, but sounds a little pitchy. I WANT NOTHING LIKE A D&D! LOL!

My 600RR has a Yosh. It sounds incredibly badass, I think it's even louder then my D&D was but it's a good low deep loud not screamy like D&D.

The Yoshi might be a bit louder and slightly raspier than the Jardine.

FYI girly, no pipe will make a 600 sound "deeper", if you want that you'll have to bump up to a liter bike...and I'm sure Mr. Snookie-wookie-pudding-pie would love that. :lol:

All my bikes had Yoshi except for my R6 which had a GYTR exhaust. I love they way they sound and they aren't that loud.

I find there is nothing wronge with having a stock pipe but I find that if a cager can't see me then a quick blip of the throttle wakes them up. I try not to be to offensive with it but at times it has come in handy, especially when some idiot decides he wants to share my lane.

Leo Vince all the way! Just got that on my 600RR, and it's awesome! Nice deep rumble down low, a really mean howl in the mids, and it screams up high.

By the way, keep in mind those soundclips were recorded all on the same bike (an R6 I believe). So the same pipe on your bike can sound very different.

Hmmmm I'm browsing pipes now but the sound clips are good, they help...but what bike is it on, what size....I think that would make a difference.
I'm looking for Two Bros Carbon......fucking things aren't cheap anymore

The full Yosh system with race baffle for my bike was $375.00 back in '97, that price probably won't even cover the slip-on today. :ohmygod:

I know of someone who races with this style, it would look badass on board.

A coach with an R1 gutted his cans and took out the stupid catalytic converter and the thing sounds fucking bad ass billy.

Yep, and it's borderline illegal as far as db. restrictions.

FYI: Calabogie tests every bike at 2/3rds throttle prior to letting you onto the track. Then they check during the day to see WOT db. It would suck to drive 500mi and get 5 laps in and NOT crash. There were a few bikes that failed at WOT and were black flagged, not to return. Oh yes, one was a vintage bike and one was a EX500 with a V&H.....

okay, a little off topic but i was at walmart for 2-stroke oil & saw a db detector/measuring device in the auto sound aisle. i wonder how accurate they are? (i guess not too accurate if they're selling for cheap at walmart).

those cats that were black flagged, could they have re-packed their cans? (or is a re-jet or re-map involved in that too?)

They were asked if they had quieter exhausts, like you carry a loud pipe and a quiet pipe. You know if your pipe is too loud already, loud does not=more power (are you listening HD fans? Of course you are, you just ca't hear us)

I wanted an Akra but it's way too much....I like the Two Brothers, Pilot had that on the rr and I loved the sound...not to mention I like the coned ends on the new cans, it looks perfect on the R1's
Yea Joe it's an 06, I want Arata as well but $1300 is way out of my price range, I learned from the 6 not to over spend on shit cause you lose it all in the end.

I'll keep looking, I'm looking for Carbon fiber as well to minimize the heat.
I don't know about gutting the stock cans, I'm not into ghetto jobs on such an expensive investment.
