I just got a cut down yoshi for next to nothin and an extra stock header for nothin from my mechanic so I thought I'd try something. I just cut down the mid pipe section on the header and this is what I came up with. I plan on painting the canister black like the micron that was on it. What do you think?

Looks great... Is there anything supporting it?

It's short enough that the rear mount for the header gives it plenty of support.

wont your shoe hit the exhaust and melt on it? it looks really close to the right foot peg. i know some guys that had their shoe melt on their mid pipes.

No, sitting confortably I can't even bend my heel back on it, trust me, that was a big concern when I decided to do it.

Do you need to have any remapping done for that? How does it sound compared to the longer can?

Thanks man, i think i'm just gonna powdercoat the rearsets, although the aftermarket ones are very nice, they're too expencive for me, maybe if I had a race bike.

I don't think it need any remaping, it's still the stock header. As for the loudness, it doesn't sound much different than the micron I had on it.

video of sound?
I'll see what I can do but if i had to describe it in words I would say it's got the yoshimura tone with a D&D loudness. It's loud, but a clean sounding loud.

i like the shorty pipe, looks pretty good. how far does it stick out sideways? like the angle it makes with the swingarm? can't really tell from the pics.
