Aftermarket cans?

**Armitage Shanks** · 30th December 2009, 19:02

I may have a Gen2 Hayabusa coming my way s/h soon but, it's still got the original exhausts .........this is a subject that's been dealt with countless times I know but not very recently ...my question;..... I'll need to get some new cans, pref Yoshi but I'm open to suggestions. The exchange rate has worked in our favour so ..... any ideas ??? I'm loath to purchase from a Dealer ...

Ebay is your friend.

I recently bought a Yoshi pipe, Power Commander III and a K&N air filteroff Ebay. All up, including GST and shipping, I was still in the green compared to buying JUST the Yoshi pipe here in NZ.

I'll happily buy in NZ, when they don't try to arse-rape every cent I make out of me at each opportunity they get.

Easy my friend.

Take your pick! Some nice looking Yoshi's in there...

You're on the right track. Go for quality rather than cheap.

You get what you pay for. Go the whole hog and buy a good full system (Akrapovic, Leo Vince, Arata, Yoshi etc) and reap some real rewards. And go for a single can system to maximise the weight loss, your bike will be transformed.

Yeah I myself have been looking at mufflers for my VTR but not sure what brand is best for my bike. So far the Two Bros look good as I understnd you don't have to re-jet your carbs or do any other modifications to the bike?

Nice site. I like how you can view the products in your own currency.

If you don't have to rejet anything then chances are you won't change the power delivery, just the noise output. If that's all you are after then it's all good, just don't expect to feel much difference with the pants-o-meter apart from losing a bit of weight.

I have a mate with a full Akrapovic 4 into 1 on his, super light and not overly loud. The Gen 2s' have really heavy mufflers, just like having a Bulldozer bolted to each side. G.

Exactly, and the principal reasons I'll need to change the cans is 1 .. The weight factor and 2 ..the looks , goddam the original pipes are ugly..the performance benifits are secondary. Thanks for the advice from you guy's so-far, as I type I'm in a cyber-cafe in Nelson on Holiday and I'm looking at a bunch of three young guys swarming all over my pretty-in-black '06 'Busa parked on the street outside....signing off , running out of coins and I'm late for the Fckn Barbie in Motueka ...on my Bike

You'd better have a listen to mine. Put Two Bros titanium on a while ago - pretty loud. Have not had the bike tuned yet and it's running fine although I may get the shop to take a look next time it's in there. Seat of the pants feeling is more ergs down low though not convinced there's any more later on up the range - so maybe it does need a little doctoring...

Havent been on here for a while so dont know how we all went with BGW.

That would be the pipes with the blunt magnesium ends? I should get around to having a look some time.

The ECU connection software will have a list of supported devices and adjust the set up for that particular exhasut.

Best to check the list before buying, though most are so similar that it won't be an issue.
