Ben,

Do you have a link to the Yoshimura Muffler?

That does sound and look really good.

 

Now this looks like the sort of exhaust i have been waiting for, happy days

 

I am still waiting on Vance & Hines, but this Yoshimura is at the top of my list for now.

agreed. i've been looking some up the last few days, but figured if i waited longer something would really jump out at me.. maybe it just did ! 0

 

Looks a little weird to me. I know some people like silver but are they going to release one that matches the bike which is blacked out and has no satin stainless on it at all?

 

agreed, they need an all black one, but I am happy with the TB exhaust.

 

Been thinking about getting the two brothers exhaust, now this came out.

 

Wow, I've been trying to convince myself to get a TBR, and was almost there, but now this has thrown a spanner in the works. I love the sound of this thing. I played this up against several TBR clips and this seems to have a silkier rumble. More Barry White if you will.

 

Just an FYI I have had 3 different exhausts on my rebel so far. None of them sound anything remotely like the videos on youtube. So that really isn't a way to gauge the sound at all.

 

I agree Shorty, Youtube is not an accurate way to judge these things but when it's all you have... Also this mob seem to have gone to more effort than most to try and portray the sound in various circumstances.

 

It also helps to listen through a set of good headphones or earbuds, rather than a phone speaker... changes the sound quite a bit.

 

Performance Parts Ltd in UK have said the Yoshi R-34 is expected in 4-6 weeks at a RRP of £561. Expensive for a slip on but i am tempted....

Anyone decided on installing the Yoshimura R34 muffler on his Rebel yet? 0


Where would be the best place to order one?

 

Is this exclusively for the 500?

 

Yes, I believe so. :wink2:

 

Yoshimura Rebel 500 2017-18 R-34 Slip-On Exhaust Stainless Muffler

 

This actually looks good on the bike. I don’t have any plans to replace the stock on mine but would consider this one if ever.

 

I just installed this today. Fitment is good, but Yoshimura's torque spec for the clamp is only 6 ft-lbs, which seems way too low. I had to tighten the clamp way more to stop it from leaking.

Looks great on the bike. I rode for about 45 mins, and the inlet pipe has already taken on a nice golden tint.

The muffler seems noticeably lighter than stock. It is also angled higher than stock, which should make it easier to use a rear stand.

The sound is very nice, but is much much louder than I was expecting (even at idle). I used to only wear earplugs on the highway, but I will definitely need to wear them all the time now. I might try adding a baffle if I can't get used to the extra volume.

Overall I am happy with the purchase so far. Just be aware that the muffler is seriously loud. The comparison video doesn't do it justice at all IMO.

 

Should we consider putting up a group buy??? :wink2:
We bite the bullet together!

 

RevZilla has some in stock for $503 (10% off).

 

Thank you for the tip mvigs86! I just placed my order for a R34 exhaust. :smile2:

Enjoy! :laugh:

 

love the sound...
can't make a decision between Arrow and Yoshimura..
Arrow full exhaust system is so attractive...

 

Yoshimura Installed

I thought about and looked at all the exhaust possibilities offered on EBay and other websites, but decided to go with the best quality I could get. Yoshimura looks and sounds great. Easy to install and according to the information from Yoshimura no need for remapping. From my experience that's absolutely correct. Runs great - no popping! JOMO

BTW I have no idea how I got this photo upside down....

 

Sorry to revive an older thread. But will I be able to use this on the Rebel 300? The Two brothers can fit both the 300 and the 500, so how come this one only fits the 500?

 

I believe they are going on legality. Removing the 300 exhaust also removes the CAT. Meaning replacing it with a slip on makes it not street legal. But other than that sure it will work.
