    ID this exhaust

    No idea what it is. No numbers, manufacturers, etc. Its pretty beat up but, after I powdercoat it I'm sure it will look awesome.

    Looks like an older yoshimura race pipe, I may be wrong though.

        Well maybe not race given the smaller diameter piping but it definitely looks like the same design. Did that come off of the 650?

          Indeed it did. It does look strikingly similar to an old Yosh though I must say. Though, I don't think it is. Wouldn't it be branded somewhere?

            Oh damn, I think it might be... Check this out. Just about 2/3s the way down a post by a user named "T_Dub."

            Edit: If its Yosh, JACKPOT!

            EditEdit: IT IS! Check out my second picture. See that little hole right at the end of the exhaust? Now, loot at the same place in the picture below. See that nut? YES!!!! (I hope) From what I gather, it should be a Yoshimura Series I Drag pipe. The "nameplate" that was one these was a sticker (makes sense most of these are not tagged). Anybody know if this is a good, bad, expensive, rare exhaust? hahaha

                I think I'll hold on to it and probably get it powdercoated

                  Powder coat will burn on an exhaust unless some sort of special high heat powder is used.

                    Sorry, needed to be more clear. I'm probably going to get it sandblasted and just use Header paint. The black, crazy high-heat type.

                            Congrats, those old yoshimuras are pretty desirable. I've heard they sound excellent too.

                              Thanks! I can barely find any info on it, not even a video. I'm lucky I even found a picture and description of it on that forum I found. They do sell old Yosh replicas like this one, but the price must be astronomical since you have to order it from a Yoshimura distributor.

                              Thank the Suzi gods that this came on my bike, because this is a bonus beyond bonus.
