New old pipes
#5
Well off the top of my head I can tell you they're certainly not TBR's, which look a lot like stock headers. They're not Akrapovic. They're nothing like Indigo. I have a few pics someone sent me of their full M4 and it's not that either. They're closest to a Yoshimura header I have, though not the same. What numbers are on it? Is that all you have? No link pipes? Obviously no mufflers...

The guy was selling them with yoshi cans. I told him I wanted everything but some kid offered him asking price for just the cans so I got the header and a set of almost no mile stock cans.

Yeah mine is 10-97, same part#. Yours must be a newer/updated Yoshimura design. Did the kid take the link pipes? They're specific to that header so you need them (you could obviously run different mufflers as long as the inlet diameter matches and they have spring loops). Without the header they'd be useless to him. Otherwise the header is kinda useless unless you make your own. A Two Bros header for instance has the same outlet locations as the stock header, so you can run any pair of slip ons (stock ones even). But this header, like those made by Akrapovic, M4 & Indigo have a unique routing, so you can't just use another pair of slip ons.

The kid got whatever was on the yoshi's. I'm not super worried about link pipes. I'm going to find some slip-ons and go full turkey on a high mount setup or undertail. The mufflers on it now are stock without baffles thinking about cutting into um and seeing how much I can lighten um up. Love the look but there heavy.

that's the pic from the guys add. Im thinking about seeing if he still has the kids number to try to get the link pipes. He told the guy he was using them on a slowsuki gsxr

Yeah that's a SUPER rare setup, really would've been worth getting everything. Looks to be in really nice shape too. Like I said the link pipes will be impossible to find and are useless to the kid who took them. Those mufflers and emblems are also unobtanium at this point. I hope he knows what they are and is restoring or has a mint old GSXR1100 or something. The mufflers I have that came with the system probably weigh half what an identical pair of RS3 slip on or bolt on mufflers do.

I was hoping you were f#$%ing with me... Yeah I'd kill for those emblems. So would any of the TL1000 guys... What a waste... Hope he at least paid a pretty penny for them. You'll probably never see another one of those again, especially in that condition.

I wish I was f#$%ing with you. Lol $100... I gave the guy $10 for the header and stock cans so I can sell the stockers and make a buck or two if I don't like the way it sounds..

Lol wow. Wish they would've went to a better home. You'll love the way it sounds. As long as a Superhawk is running on both cylinders and you don't put Danmoto conicals on it (unless you want it to sound like a Vrod) they all sound fantastic.
