Got delivery of my RS3 Yoshimura can from the USA today. It was delivered straight to my door, so I have avoided paying import tax, VAT, or any handling charges. God only knows why because I have been properly ar5e raped every other time I have ordered from the USA.
All in it cost me a total of a bargin delivered.
It looks like proper bike porn, but thank goodness it came with a baffle as the end mouth is huge!
Here's some piccy's.

It's been through customs as they have opened it to check the contents. It also has been stamped by customs to say it has not originated or travelled through Yemem.
Nothing to hide you see!
Very nice. It looks like the corner of that "Competition Use Only" sticker has peeled away.
That will probably fall off completely if you're not careful. ;)

I got my yoshi from the states.
Did you buy it off universalelectronix? They sent mine marked up as warranty replacement £0 value... Avoided tax that way.

I hope the build quality of the 'badge' is worth the extra £130+ over a normal, just as good exhaust can. Because they'll do exactly the same thing. :D
Ah!! poor ol Missus Claus:santa:

Don't get you at all, seeing I saved £180 over the uk retail price, and that's if you can find someone who sells them?:confused: And BTW Yoshimura is popular for a reason!
That looks very shiny! I bet it sounds good and hope you're not wearing earplugs :P

Oy!
Watch who you accuse with no evidence. I wouldn't touch another man's bike.
Yours on the other hand...

I couldn't find anywhere that sold the RS3 for the SV in the UK. The closest I could find was this
http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/40968
and that was £368.

They make some proper, pukka go-faster bits for GSXRs etc. badge on the end can makes no difference to actual performance. But still... look at the shiny shiny... :p
