Are you serious? A friend of mine gave me the name of her R&D contact so I emailed him and should hear back and find out soon. I'll keep you posted if Yoshi responds! I'm hoping they'll do it...she's got a Kawasaki 650R and it looks sweet! I think she got a slip on, which is not possible for ours!!! SUCKS!

hey can i buy a shortie slip on and cut the muffler off and custom weld pipe and shortie. or should i just cough u the doe
It could be done with time and money. You will have quite a bit of fabrication to do to cut the muffler off, then weld together a collector for the header pipes. The stock exhaust is basically a 4-into-1 type system where the four header pipes basically converge all together at the muffler.
If you have the skills or a shop to do it for you, it would be kinda nice to see done, so the others out there wanting a different exhaust have options other than the TBR and M4.
An exhaust mod is definitely worth the effort. A few of us modified the stock exhaust to keep for various reasons; (bang for $, handling characteristics/LCG, etc.) but there is significant R&D involved in exhaust design to begin with. I would advise that other than a mild revision of the stock piece, go with a unit like TBR, M4, Arrow, Leo Vince. These are designed and engineered, even straight race headers are tuned for their purpose. Your project would be hit or miss with extensive work and no guarantee of improvement.

i know arrow's sound great on other yamaha's!

That's true, unfortunately, none of them are all that attractive. Not to mention they are side-mounted cans, which changes the whole CoG for the bike.
crap i think ur right
i think ur right im still gonna look into to it. im guessing that i need somting to keep back pressure up for my low end. maybe a baffle on the pipe before the slip on? ill let u guy know

Every company who makes aftermarket exhaust says the same thing. Because they are illegal. Basically modifying your bike in anyway is technically illegal. However, illegal exhaust is rarely something you'll have to worry about unless you're getting in trouble for something else. They just need to put that disclaimer on there to cover their ass.
