The Yoshi is..... thats why I offered to buy it from you. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I have the same Yoshimura pipe on my bike but mine is the Stainless steel version. I was looking to cut another couple of pounds off my bike if you were to sell me yours.... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I know you are looking for someone other than me to respond to this...... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wait.gif ok come on guys quit hiding and help him out!!

Seriously though I've got a shitload of race parts on my bike (this could be an understatement) but one of the few things I lack is the top of the line Yoshimura Titanium exhaust system. Stainless is cool but I'd rather have the Ti header if at all possible.

HP differences between the 1100 Vance and Hines pipe you currently have on the bike versus the Yoshi pipe would be minimal at best maybe 1 or 2 hp. The Yoshi is more of a eye catcher though.....and extremely rare. Quality wise the Ti pipe will beat the V&H hands down but once you damage the Ti pipe you may as well throw it away because once the Ti pipe is damaged there is no repairing it (According to my friend at M4 Exhaust).

I have the yosh full duplex with a carbon fiber Can out back sounds good, if you ae wanting a deeper sound from the bike then the Vance and hines will provide that for you.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif It looks like since you are missing parts to the RS3 Yoshi...... you really only have one option. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

You stated in another post that you were missing the mid pipe for the yoshimura......if thats the case then the Ti header is pretty much useless and you have to stick with the Vance & Hines system.

Were you thinking of just using the RS3 can on the Vance & Hines header? If so I would keep like parts together.... for re sell purposes.

Yep without the matching Ti midpipe, the ti yosh is pretty much a paper weight since yoshimura no longer makes any parts for any gsxr prior to 1996, which is funny since the older gsxr's are what put yoshimura on the map.
Then again yosh japan makes parts for the older gsxr's but good luck getting arts from japan

If you are looking to sell it then finding someone that actually has the mid pipe for that specific pipe would probably be as rare as you finding a mid pipe to buy for it yourself.

I offered to buy it just to have in case I ever run accross a mid pipe or if by chance my stainless midpipe would work with it...... If you want to sell it then I'm still interested. Just let me know and I'll make a trip down to you neck of the woods with some $$$ as long as the price is reasonable. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ok, I thought about it and I am interested in selling it... I will take pics and send them to you tomorrow or sunday. The headers dont say Yoshi on them anywhere.
