Still haven't decided myself. I like the look of both. The Two Brothers is definately available for my 06. Seems a little pricy.
-
A 600?
A Yosh, without a doubt! :motorsmile:
-
My vote goes for the Two Brothers. I chose the Two Bros based in large part on the VALE mounting system. I just think it's a lot cleaner look than having a muffler secured by springs like the Yosh.
-
My vote's for Yosh.... sweet sound and just looks good on a Suzuki.
-
Yosh can is the best from what I've heard from everybody. I've been running a Yosh R&D for 4 years now. :banana:
-
When I did my research Yosh was the best value and performance. Spring mounting has proven itself in competition to provide constant pressure sealing under jarring load stress, compared to static mounting systems which can brake seal and leak.
I already did post a link under a very recent string about modifying stock exhaust and you asked the question If I remember correctly, anyway its under Gen Mech & Tech.

Ya but the stock can is static mounted and it seems to do OK. And why won't Yosh confirm that their exhaust fits an 06? I've sent emails.
And does anyone have any pics of spring mounted Yoshes? Just want to see what iy looks like.

See my B12 in the bikes for sale section. I had a Yosh on it and I loved it. The name plate faded on mine for some reason. Thas the only issue I ever had.

Went with Two Brothers and removed the stock can last night. Expect the Two Brothers in two weeks. One thing I forgot to ask was does the Two Brothers have the Center stand stop on it with the rubber?
-

No. You have to remove the stock rubber bumper and transfer it to the Two Bros.

Did you happen to notice that the 2Bros pipe you bought is listed to fit both '05's and '06's?
That means that any 2nd gen slip-on would fit an '06 model. :wink:

It is listed as fitting 05 and 06. and interestingly enough, that is why I went with Two Bros. I have been hounding Yosh and a bunch of dealers since buying the bike for a definate yes on that question but all I got were a number of nos and a couple of maybes. Probably could have saved some bucks there as the TB is pretty pricy but it looks good and apparently it has a deeper exhaust note than the Yosh.

That would be an assumption. If that were true, then why will no manufacturer confirm that their pipes will fit an '05-'06? Also, if that were true, why would TB not list their model as fitting '01-'06? :?:

Rocketjock,
Congrats on the TB :banana:
One note: The installation instructions say to mount the hanger BEHIND the passenger peg. This is incorrect. It must be mounted IN FRONT of the peg mount to allow swingarm clearance.
-

I don't get it. I could swear yours is mounted behind the passenger peg.

Nope, it is in front of the peg. I can shoot a close-up image of this area & post it, if you like.

Hey Rock, get it yet?
Wait till you hear the growl!
:shock: :shock:

Get this. I am on South Vancouver Is. in BC. For me to get a Two Bros. I had to go thru the Canadian dealer. Montreal. It's now been over two weeks. As of two days ago they had not recieved it. When they get it, it's supposed to take another week. That's California to Montreal to BC. Long trip for a little pipe. And God knows what's happening at customs. Poor thing's probably getting the full cavaty search.
-
Big update here. UPS. What a wonderful company. Dec 3 now and still no pipe. Tracking the thing and messages say things like "Delayed tue to weather." I mean we had a few inches of snow. What are they, horse and buggy? God!!!. And still no pipe!
-
UPS? Just wait, it gets better...be prepared for some extra charges when the package is delivered....
Edit:
Ugh...just ordered a full system from Muzzy and the only way they could ship was with UPS :duh:
-
UPS finally delivered. No extra charge. Nice pipe. Not a lot to it for $650 but nice pipe all the same.
-
Did you get the Xweave carbon?
-
Didn't you know UPS stands for Usually Pretty Slow? :stickpoke:

Didn't you hear? UPS & FedEx are merging.
The new company will be called FedUp!
-
x weave carbon. Yep.
-
x weave carbon. Yep.
Yeah that x weave looks really cool. :congrats:
My Muzzy exhaust just came in today...took about a week...the header and mid pipe are brushed stainless, the can is polished stainless...I gotta say when they wrote that it is mirror polished they weren't kidding! Total cost including shipping was $330 CDN...thinking that I'll probably install it over Xmas as my jet kit should be in next week, then the long wait until the snow clears before I can go ride.
BTW I'm registered for the Vic Safety Council Experienced Rider Course in June...one day is at Western Speedway and the other over at Camosun College. I'll probably spend 5 days or so tooling around the Island then go hit the twisties around Nakusp for a few days :grin:
