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

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

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.

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.
