RE: Yoshimura rs-5 exhaust
I stuck an RS5 onto my bike - nice throaty sound without being too loud, and bike felt a bit crisper. Like Anubis says it ran a bit rich though, left soot around the mouth of the can. Also felt a bit wooly under 2500 rpm. Installation is easy, only pain is removing seat unit which needs a leap of faith to believe that the plastic will bend a bit to get over the subframe. Also unhooking exhaust valve cables from the servo was a bit fiddly until I worked out that the nipples both slide out downwards.
If you are worried about installation get a CD of the Honda manual off Ebay for little money, it talks you through every nut and bolt. Also see useful guide on http://www.hardracing.com/CBR1000Exhaust.htm. Make sure you read the bit about marking the servo so you don't have dramas with the engine management.
I agree that the foil that comes with it is a waste of space, it wasn't big enough to cover the area. I got some self adhesive foil covered heat deflector with fibre glass matting in it from local auto shop, used by boy racers to insulate their turbos or whatever - the area under the cowl is now cooler than with standard heat deflector.
I have now added a PCIII - the Yoshi map was cool, but Anubis your map is sweet. I really recommend the PCIII as well. The whole power delivery feels so sweet and free revving, and I swear that gear changes feel smoother. Combined with a 15 tooth sprocket this bike feels delicious. So good I probably will not be getting a custom map done as I am happy as a pig in ****e.

I ran mine for 2 months without a pc3, i ran fine definatley better than the stock item, but a little rich. Then i fitted a PC3 and loaded the map from the Power commander website. It ran better again, still a little rich. Then i got the bike dyno`ed and setup with a custom map including the K&N filter. Now its beautiful!! Runs fantastic.
The Can is a doddle to fit just gotta watch out for them hidden bolts as has already been said by MgA_ODEN, If you where to buy a pc3 we have a maps section you can try my custom map if you so desired, in the mods section i think.
