Why the hate for Yoshimura?
Been searching for some slipon's for my 1st gen, and see a lot of negativity towards Yoshimura. Why is this? Is it because they were associated with 'Zuki for the longest time? A good friend of mine is selling his bling slip on at a GREAT price, and it's mint, can't even tell it's used aside from the exhaust carbon inside the pipe. It seems to have decent constuction and good fitament, just wondering why the majority frown upon them?

Own one for about 6 months and you'll find it continues to get louder and louder. I think the packing in the exhaust is really crappy and over time it really just breaks down to nothing and eventually the exhaust (even just a slip-on) becomes so loud it's almost unbearable to most!

because everybody in here has a Akra full system,and if you mention some body else besides Racefit you need to be castrated.
thats why I put a set of TRC Yoshi's on my 06 wheel barrow,because no-one else talked about them,all my other Kaws had Yoshi systems.
perform well,last longer than carbon fiber,and alot cheaper than paying for a high popular over rated name.
whats not to like?it's your bike,who cares what everyone elses opinnion is.

My guess would be because they are generally thought of as the exhaust that Gixxer guys have. I personally dont have any issue with them, i just dont care for the styling of most of them.

I have a carbon fiber yosh and it is a good exhaust. Only issue I had with it was how long it was but a couple of hours and some hacking cutting and its all good.

It's like Muzzy is associated with Kawi's ...unfair I know but it is what it is in general.

I was just wondering if there was an actual reason to avoid them, like if sometimes they just spontaneously combust or something.  The price was too good to pass up, and it'll look a million times better than the stock muffler.
