    Question Racefit or yoshi tri oval?

    had a whoopsy at the last trackday and thanks to kiwibike insurance is going to sort it (cheers dave!)
    now i have a decission to make,i had a yoshimura tri oval carbon muffler which i think suits it,but i can replace it with a racefit growler or racefit mega...so which do you think looks/sounds best out of these three?
    thanks for your opinion on the subject.
    peace!

    Racefit growler... but then, I used to have one.

    Be aware that they really are obnoxious on a whole new level, making just about anything else sound quiet, when you pull the baffle out.

    Even baffle in, it was gorgeous, had a nice howl in the upper rev range.

    Yoshi aren't too bad either, but like the mega, its a more full size pipe. I liked the small size of the growler, and you could feel the weight change in the handling (it only weights 825 grams, inc mid pipe). One of the most expensive slip ons tho.

    cheers gremlin.
    another question,when i brought this bike the guy told me it has been re-mapped for the yoshi but it doesnt have a power commander so is he full of shit?and do i run the risk of it running worse if i dont "re-map" it for the racefit?
    cheers

    pm Billy on this site

    He makes race fairings, in tauranga,he most likey has a mold for the k3/k4

    regarding the maping of the ecu, suzuki can have the ecu remaped via the yoshi box (very basic maping of the stock ecu) or could have been maped by a teka tune (simlar to a pc3, but they reflash they stock ecu)

    Regaring the pipe i would stick with the yoshi, the racefits are very loud.

    Growler....coz its LOUD and gives a nice deep pitch, not whiney like some of the aftermarket gear, and its a tad obnoxious. It looks great too, short and tidy. And for soft eared types (errrr...thats me on a long trip) it has a removable baffle to shove in there....if you must.
    ...but the crackles....gota love the crackles

    i had the mega on my K6 gsxr thou, with a couple of other mods it dynoed at 163 at the wheel. its not as loud as the growler, but its still fuckin loud (it came delivered with earplugs), i prefered the short look titainium over the growler.

    That mega is kind of cool, but if it is that flipping loud I'd personally go Yoshi and consider looking after your hearing for when you want to be able to understand what your kids are saying!
    Yoshi do make a very tidy pipe and well, Yoshi-Suzuki - its like bikini-boner.

    Racefit!



    The most obnoxious-sounding bike I ever rode was a K6 thou with a Racefit growler. It'd give you a hard-on just idling 20m away. Fucking beautiful. Just do it.
    kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.
