Yoshi RS1 Carbon "shorty"
 

Followed the sticky tutorial and figured I'd try n help anyone else out that wanted to see pics of how the rs1 looks after doing this (or any exhaust really for that matter). Was a bit nervous cutting into my carbon pipe, cause I love the way it sounded n looked. But the risk vs. reward won in the end. JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE PATIENT, and have the RIGHT TOOLS.

1. Drilled out old rivets, removed metal clamp, removed inner

2. This was the most time consuming part. Removing the tack welds so that I could remove the metal mesh from over the inlet piping

7. On the bike. Sounds MEAAAN, I love it. And it seems like the bike is more responsive down low.

Cutting the carbon pipe was a breeze with a standard hacksaw. Blade wasnt even new, which woulda made it even smoother.

nice work man. looks so much cleaner!

I wish my phone's mic didn't suck so bad. It makes the exhaust sound kinda raspy when in fact it's deep and sounds mean. I LOVE the sound of this exhaust now, my favorite that I've heard yet. Doesn't sound like a cheap shorty either that's just loud...it's a very clean tone. Under WOT it's insane.

Hell yea looks good! shorty pipes FTW!

My previous post is a vid clip of the exhaust, the link makes it look like some spam ad or something but its not.

turned out pretty nicely. Nice work.

looks sick i love the sound of the yoshis

I love the Yoshi too, but like I said...cut down sounds NASTY.

that is AWESOME! :icon_worthy: i am not worthy lol
