I am looking to buy a yoshimura exhaust and was wondering the different types. they have rs3, rs5, s/o trs ti zycl, etc...
what are the advantages and what is the most popular.

 

They are all the same except the exterior finish. Find the LOOK that you like and go with it.

 

from what i know the rs3 is just the regular oval exhaust slip on or full system. rs5 i've seen alot on rr's so it might just be for that bike? s/o is short for "slip-on" i believe. and zyclone is a quieter system with different baffles. all of the systems are offered in stainless steel, titanium, or carbon fiber finishes.

 

I owned an RS-3 in stainless and was very happy with it. Only get the race baffle though, the street baffle sounds like stock. The race baffle isn't really a "race" baffle, there is still some sound supression but not too much. It really sounds great and looks good too. I'm a big fan of Yosh products.

 

Hey man, if you are even remotely interested in performance gains, you will be much happier in the long run if you get a full exhaust system. Check out Arata exhaust. Once you start spending money on your bike, it's really hard to stop. Don't forget about your air filter and power commander.

 

I just noticed that there are two holes one top one bottom on the exhaust outlet of my Yoshimura RS 3 slip on. Are they there so the baffle can be repacked or something? What would happen if I took the baffle out?

 

RS-3 is the Oval Shaped Muffler/Canister Exhaust -- you can buy it for the F4i...it mounts in the factory location & at the same angle. This is what I have & I love it!!!!

TRS is a triangle shaped Muffler/Canister exhaust -- you can buy it for the F4i as well & mounts in the factory location too.

RS-5 exhaust is for the bikes with undertail exhaust. Won't fit the F4i.

Yoshimura doesn't make a high mount system for the F4i (or even in general I think).

Yoshimura pipes are available in "Zyclone" & "Race" baffles. "Zyclone" is the street baffle (quiet) & "Race" is the race baffler (louder).

For the F4i, it's gonna be a S/O (SLIP ON) system that comes with a new midpipe and bolts right onto the bike at the end of the header. (Some bikes like the GSX-R you just replace the muffler--bolts on)

And like what was said....the Yoshimura pipes are available in Stainless Steel, Carbon Fiber, & Titanium finishes.

It's a VERY SIMPLE install & straight forward.
