Other exhausts
It seems as far as spyder goes hindle grabbed the official backing from brp while twobros seemed first to be to the market for an aftermarket exhaust and gained a lot of support. I was never a fan of them in general and was looking for options and seems everyone has a preference but I haven't heard one thing about the yoshimura (not cheap) but have always made top quality stuff and have done lots of racing with Suzuki.
has anyone mounted up their can?

Hello!
Unfortunately I have no information about the Yoshimura exhaust. But if you are looking for a high quality exhaust, I can recommend the LeoVince slip-on to you.
I have used it for approx. three years without any problems. It's not only good looking, but gains some additional hps and produces a deep, bubbling sound - not too loud!
Regards,
Alex

i had hindle, two bros single, leo vince and now have yoshimura and yoshi is my favorite.
it has best tone but not loud as two bros. i never had silencer on my yoshi but without it, it's little louder than hindle but quieter than others.
it looks good and very high quality construction. i got mine with a slight dent inside for $360 but you can pick carbon one up below $500 online and low $400 for stainless steel.

008.jpg011.jpg016.jpg018.jpg027.jpg i took 9 inches and most of the 'guts' out of it... leaving in the 'CAT' and it sounds terrific and i have maintained the OEM look... like all after market mufflers, you need to install them b4 u know what they sound like... every1 has their own likes, so don't blame me if u try this, and you don't like the sound... i'll post more pix, i guess this is the MAX the system will allow....

I have the Yoshimura R77 on my 2011 RSS and couldn't be happier. Carbon fiber body so it doesn't generate much heat and the low rumble it provides at idle even impresses the harley guys I ride with. Not to mention the roar when you wind up the rpm's. I've heard hindles, two bros dual and single, and HMF's (which would be my second choice) but none beat the sound of the Yoshi IMHO.

I have the Yoshi stainless pipe on my 2012 RT and coudn't be happier. It has a great sound, louder than the OEM can but quieter than either the Hindle or Two Brothers. Plus it looks classy. It also uses the 2 bolt flange and not a muffler clamp.
And the most important thing is my wife likes the sound and gave it HER approval.

but get ready for days worth of labor... u'll need a TIG welder (please don't use MIG)... u'll need air-tools and a BIG chop saw... i figure if i had to charge to alter yours, it would be no less than $250 - $300... and i just can't bring myself to charge that amount...

i opened one up a few months ago when i got a replacement a friend had laying in his garage i cut the weld through at the cat along the seam of the black part and the stainless how much should i chop off the open end of the remainder and reattach ?
or maybe show some measurements where you did the actual cut and what part was removed
it looks like you removed the front part using the original end with can attached

HMF on an RT ?
Has anyone used an HMF on an RT? Would it require a custom connector pipe & install?

I DID THE LATERAL CUTS TO OPEN up a window so that i could view the entire internal workings of this muffler. Now that i know what's inside, i would NOT do that again... 1st: drill out the retaining rivets that holds the support strap on... then i'd cut circumferencially along the forward end of the forward weld, penetrating no more than 1/8" deep. should you go deeper, you will cut into the 'cat' casting - not a good thing. then the next cut can be accomplished with a chop saw, a big one... depending on what you are looking for - from initial cut at the front end, measure toward the aft end and using the chop saw, cut her in 2... on mine, i removed 9" total, i'll do 12" next time. once you have the muffler parted, you need to remove all the material that is behind your 1st cut. leave or remove the cat - i kept mine in... once you have the forward end cleaned up, you'll need to remove whatever is in the way of reconnecting the now aft end to the forward end. the cat will enfluence what needs to be removed should you decide to retain it. there is no 'given' as to what to remove - it's up to you... once everything is cleaned out, you'll now need to use a die-grinder with a 3" cut-off wheel and go into the openned end of aft end and remove 1/2" deep of the liner, which is just on the inside of the outter shell... this will allow you to butt the outter shell to the housing where the cat is located... if you need to remove more on the liner, do so until you have a snug fit to the cat casting. once you accomplish this 'fit'... it's time to TIG weld the 2 pieces into 1... upon completion, go to Walmarts, buy a can of BBQ GRILL paint (black) and tape off what you don't want 'black' and spray 2 coats... INSTALL... ENJOY....
NOTE: b4 u start any cutting, get a marker and draw 'alignment' marks in no less than 2 places along the muffler, 180 deg. apposed... wear safety equipment when using tools... good luck, let me know how you made out...
