Default Q about slip-on

My main reason for liking slip-on's is for the sound. I had Yoshi slip-on's on my '01 R6 and '06 R6s, they sounded great.

I just put a Yoshi on my '07 R6 (high rev) and I think it pretty much sounds like the stock exhaust.
Is it cause it's a shorty? Or the bike? Or did we do something wrong on the install?

I am really disappointed with it.

Did you put the same kind of pipe on?

Meaning, Hindle makes a stealth and a supersport (since I'm not familiar with Yosh). The supersport is louder. So did you maybe buy something similar to the stealth instead of the supersport version.

Bingo! I bet she got the "street" version and not the "race only" version. Either that or this model left the under-muffler in place and just added an outer muffler. Basically a "tip" of sorts.

There should be a rivet... drill it out and pull out the silencer.

Wait a minute... check for an insert in the end of the pipe. If you take that out it will get much louder. I think it's held in with an allen screw.

Nah, that pipe has a removable "street" silencer I think. You just need an allen wrench. My Quad had the same thing.

This allen... if you remove it the insert should be able to be pulled out...

There may be more than one screw holding it in, take the canister back off and inspect it carefully and see if there are an allen or two holding that inner sleeve in. Don't start drilling your $500 slip-on until you are SURE the insert doesn't just come out like Yosh says it will. If you are still in doubt then for God's sakes call Yoshimura @ 800 634 9166.

That or it can be because you still have the cat on there. The stock muffler has no silencing feature at all. I replaced the cat on my '09 r6 and kept the stock muffler on and my bike's loud as fuck now. The cat does most of the silencing, this could add or be the reason why it's pretty quiet.

Thank you sir! Appreciate the phone number.

That makes sense. Thanks!
