E-Missions Impossible

Ordered most of my mods for when i can fit them, but the exhaust really has me stumped.

I'm pretty set on a Yoshimura(after seeing Nicks and my ears actually hurting as i followed him in a tunnel)....but the one i was looking back is going to set me back £500.

So wheres the best place to order a yoshi from then?

Also can someone explain what makes an exhaust specific to a particular make/model of bike? Could i not just buy a yoshi off ebay advertised for another bike and then get a different link pipe? Please say yes as it will be half the price!

yes........... but you may need to modify the bracket & the link pipe may be at a differant angle so it too will need playing with

You defo getting a carbon yoshi then?

If you get a regular slip on with a diameter of about 52mm I think and a regular K, whatever you have, link pipe then it will fit OK.
If you are thinking of getting a carbon one I would do a bit of research.
I have a carbon Scorpion and opted for the Scorpion because they put a ceramic inner in to reduce the risk of damaging the carbon due to heat and pressure that a twin can cause (allegedly).
The carbon Scorpion has a lifetime guarantee and everybody else I looked at only gave a 12 month guarantee on the carbon cans even though the stainless was a lifetime guarantee. This started the alarm bells ringing for me.
I think the Scorpion sounds lovely but I have found that people seem to like other sounds for other reasons.
A Fuel can also sounds nice but, I wanted carbon so a Scorpion it had to be.
If you haven't heard a Scorpion or want to have a look at one fitted let me know and we can meet up sometime.

Could always import from the US and hope you don't get stung for import duty?

Funnily enough thats what im looking into at the moment. Had a search yesterday and came up with your post! Although opinion seemed to be don't bother....assuming i get stung with the 17.5% VAT, 2.5% import and handling fee of roughly £10 it could still cost me less than £300. In demon tweeks they want over £450 and 28 days to deliver...so its obviously not in stock!

Of course if i avoid customs, then its less than half price

Ask whomever is sending it to you to list is as a replacement part. That can be a good way of skipping tax.

**** it i've ordered it anyway. No point in spending half the cash on another exhaust then wishing i got the one i really wanted.
