I had been looking at acquiring a Sato full system for my '07 Blade but the Yoshimura RS-5 full system in titanium looks like a viable alternative for about half the money. What sayeth you guys that have this system on your '06/'07 does it make the power? I am more intersted in smooth low to mid transition with perhaps a bit more on topend. I plan to also perform the airbox flapper mod and run stock airfilter. I'm not a big fan of racing filters on the street because they tend to pass more crud into the engine.

Brad has some nice Akrapovic systems for very good prices right now if they haven't already sold...

I keep hearing Akra, Sato and Arata are the three top performers. Do any of you guys have the dyno graphs on any of these three on an '06/'07?

Yoshi for sound, and it is lighter than stock. There's some people here that claim Sato's Slip-on gets more power than Yoshi's Full.

Just do a search. there are dyno charts lurking around for all three of those systems. Personally i have the Akra Evo with Carbon Can and absolutely love it.

i have a full rs-5 yoshi titanium. and love it.
11hp more on the back wheel on the dyno so that's fine fore me.

and it makes more noise than a full akra on a 04 .

grtz Mr.White

Dude, where are you at, I'm about 5 minutes from Vista Ridge Mall? We gotta hook up some time and do some riding.

Bet you most of that was from the custom map and not the yoshi..
Hell my f4i picked up 3hp and 3 trq just from a custom map(compaired to a dyno jet map-bike already had a exhaust and a bmc filter)..

After seeing the quality of the pipes and welds on the akra,sato and arata..Yoshi doesnt come close to them..Reason im dumping mine (akra on order from brad as we speak :th_salute

what is the flapper mod? ive seen this the past few days and dont have the slightest clue as to what it is. the first time ive heard it.

get one of the pipes that was really made for the bike...as in not yosh. i run the arka evo with carbon can-love it, though ive been curious about the arata.
