I have the Yoshimura RS-3. I'm prob. going to get a Jardine pipe next time though, and prob. with a carbon fiber finish. D&D is nice too, but as the other posters mentioned, it's very loud.

 

here are my pics

that looks awesome. I'm doing the same thing with mine, same color and year so i had a question for ya. I was wondering what brand of paint you used to have it painted. I'm guessing you brought it to a shop and had them paint it? I know there's the code already on the bike but i was wondering if there was anything else you factored into the paint to get it to match the bike perfectly or close to perfect. Thanks

 

Thanks, I think it looks pretty sweet myself, but I'm just partial. If you are referring to the tail fairing, I bought it off of ebay, which was rashed to hell and back. Here is my buds website, click on services to see what looked like before and after, qualitycycleparts.com A friend of mine did some body work to it and then I took it to a local bodyshop that he recommended. I gave them the paint code and they painted it. For the undertail I also bought off of ebay and the guy I bought it from had it painted and it came with the leds.

 

Well, I'm new to bikes completely, but when I bought my '06 F4i last week, the dealer threw in a Scorpion titanium slip on with the flame/heat colored look to the can and it sounds great! When I let it run in the garage at idle, it shakes and vibrates picture frames on the walls inside. Has a nice semi deep tone that sounds like it means business. It's also a straight thru can, no baffles to speak of I guess. I did get it for free, so I can't complain about it.

 

In reference to 05f4i16 the paint they used I don't think they used the paint code and used HONDA paint, I think they mixed their own

 

I have the same bike I have a akrapovic slip-on and a bmc filter with a pc111 power commander you wanna talk about sick sounding and performance then thats the right pipe for ya! also have the free upgrade for a powercommander accel pump @ 90% throttle and about 20% fuel, im telling ya its a sick sound and hecka fast bike now! RR who? lol have fun any questions feel free!

 

I wanted to resurreect this thread because I have a question about installing a Yoshimura RS-3 Slip on on my 06 F4i. In the directions it says to drill a 3/16inch hole in the stock header. Why is this nessecary? and Do you need any high temp silicon for the install? I know the directions don't say so but I was wondering. Any help would be cool

 

You need the hole to install your sonda lamda in it. And, yes, it is better to use some silicone so it fits better.
Good luck
Jorge

 

Hey Jorge, whats a sonda lamda??
