Repacking Yoshimura RS-3 experiences?
 

Anyone repacked a Yosh RS-3 on an F3? Looking to get a deeper tone, but don't want to sacrifice performance. I know HOW, I just need to know if I should bother.

I have and I cut it down and it is a little louder and deeper. Cut about 3 inches off and got new stock packing and steel wool. Sounds good, well worth it.

But how's the performance?

No discernible difference. Maybe +- a couple horsepower, but who cares about that? Its a 13 year old machine lol

Where did you cut it down? I was looking at the thing, and there's barely 3" anywhere to spare. . .

Out of the front of it. I just made it to where the spacing infront of the rivet-on yosh label to the clamp is the same from the back of the label to the rivet band.

dont use steel wool as it catchs fire . i did it and i had 12 foot flames coming out of the can

Thats what Yoshimura sends with the fiberglass in their rebuild kits. Did you wrap it tight enough?

. . .why did you measure the flames?

haha ^
