Nick San Diego,  CA exactly! Yup...huge difference from my stock exhaust. I kept my expectations low to make sure I was happy with it but it's a good enough bolt-on to just expect some great neighbor-disappointing-head-nod-inducing reactions. Love it.

Jeff Lakewoood,  CO Yosh RS-3 slip on The install instructions were clear, and concise. I used a sawzall to cut the stock pipe, and that took about thirty seconds. The Yosh pipe slipped on perfectly, and fit like a glove. I have a 2000 SV 650 Suzuki, that frankly, sounded like a duck farting underwater. The Yosh slip on gave it a deeper, healthy rumble at idle, and a sweet “roar” at speed! I did find however, that on cold Colorado days, it was best to leave the baffle in, as the bike runs much better that way. It tends to stumble, and hesitate, in cold air, even after the motor is warm, as long as it is breathing cold air. The baffle totally eliminates that, and makes my neighbors a bit happier, although it still sounds great!

Kazu Los Angeles,  CA Yoshi RS-3 Race Slip-On Exhaust The quality is excellent, very easy to install, and most of all, the sound is really good. I prefer to have the low volume insert, brings down the strong rumble that may be too much for some. Mid-range power around 5000-7000RPM feels slightly better than stock on my 07-R6S, and no annoying back-firing during hard down-shifting, which I was originally expecting. Shipment from Motorcycle Superstore was very good, with the original Yoshimura box placed within a separate shipment box. Motorcycle Superstore has handled my order very quickly, with shipment tracking that always boosts the excitement of the whole purchase experience.

Joh San Antonio,  TX Kick Ass! Yoshi pipe is exactly what I thought it would be. It bolted up in less than 20min. all the hardware was there and it sounds great without being too loud.

gene b lewisville,  TX gsxr-1000 pipe Very nice pipe for the cost..louder than stock but not obnoxious. And also has a lower tone. Much better than the stock tone. A no brainer to install and it fit perfect

david wolf wayne,  NJ great pipe Pipe had a little issue with the support strap (had to oblong holes). Otherwise the pipe looks and sounds great. The ability to remove the baffle tube is a big plus in my book. If you want to go for a peaceful ride it sounds nice but when you want that aggressive bark just remove the 2 screws on the end and that’s it.

John highland hts,  OH RS-3 bolt on for 2008 ZZR600 Installation was very easy, sounds great, much lighter and smaller than stock exhaust. The engine feels sharper and smoother with this aftermarket pipe than with stock

troy bradshaw ft drum,  NY yoshimura RS-3 slip on No doubt yoshi is rated one of the best if not the best for exhaust, the blue devil (R1), it not only sounds and looks good, but it stands up when I drop the hammer on it. Thank yoshi and motorcycle for the hook up. 10% discount please!!!!

Will Muskegon,  MI Honda RC51 This exhaust gives the RC51 a sound like none other. I recommend this exhaust for the RC51. They give the bike a totally different sound when compared to the stock exhaust. It's a very deep sound and rumbles at idle and sounds even better when the revs climb. Assemble of the pipes is pretty easy and straight-forward. Everything fit like it should for the RC51. For the money, this is the best exhaust you can buy!

Dave Oguri Kent,  WA Yoshimura RS-3 Slip-On exhaust on my 05 SV650S So far it looks and sounds good. I replace a Viper slip-on with this Yoshimura, and it definitely looks and sounds better.
