check his feedback first and ask an ass load of ?'s first

Ask lots of questions about the quality of the cans. It seems a few people have been dissatisfied based on an item being more damaged than was described! Although they do have mostly good feedback. Seems like someone I would buy something from. Get more info and big on. I don't know how they sound they, they look nice haha.

You have to make sure they're for your year model Five-One. The 00-02 are different than the 03's and up. In the description, it reads 00-04 so I would double check and ask if the picture is indeed the actual pipes. If they are, those rims look like they are of an 00-02 bike. I believe the 00-02 had six spokes and the 03's and up had 5. And ask for more detailed pictures of both pipes. If they seem to lag in responding. I wouldn't bother bidding. If they're not serious about selling, why bid???

I've heard good things about Harris. Any aftermarket exhaust will sound beastly coupled with your motor.

Thanks for the response Hams..... I thought the 00-02 was different. I haven't heard back from the seller yet. But I value your opinion (not to say everybody else's doesn't count, cuz I do appreciate those non RC riders comments too) and since you haven't heard anything good about Harris.... Harris

I actually found a set of Yoshi RS3's on ebay last night. The auction ends today. They were on a bike that was lowsided. The mid-pipe has quite a bit of rash on it but the cans look like they are in decent shape. The price is right. The seller set the reserve @ 200.00 so I figure I could pick up a new mid-pipe and be set....

Cool. Good luck QWIK1. It's going to be a totally different beast with those pipes on it.

check out Rogue site for a good write up on exhausts.http://rc51.org/exhaust.htm

Well... I did it...I finally won an auction for some pipes. Check out these babies! Yoshi RS-3 Titanium they were on an 02 that was lowsided and the right midpipe suffered some rash. the right can is scuffed slightly but I can live with that. The left can and pipe are like new. Couldn't beat the price. $140.00 shipping included! I called Yoshi and a new midpipe is only $112.00. $252.00 for this system.. not a bad deal no? Now my only problem is, I don't think I could talk my wife into giving me the nod to buy a new power commander.. (not really as bad as it sounds). If I put these pipes on without a pc will it harm my bike?

V V V · 09-16-2005, 12:50 PM

Looks like a nice set of cans for a reasonable price.

Without the commander won't hurt your bike but it won't help it either. I'm sure the pipes will wake up the neighborhood though.

I'm debating over Satos or M4's. M4's because that's what I usually buy but damn those expensive Satos look soooo good.

bumpyknuckles · 09-18-2005, 01:07 PM

yes they do.
