Yoshimura 4-2-1-2 with help from Vance & Hines

[Gardzilla]

I love the look of the R-77 slip ons and I really like the look of the dual cans. I emailed Yoshimura to see if they had any plans on making a full dual system and was told "Unfortunately there are no plans at this time to make a dual full system. ".

Then I came across the Vance and Hines Performance Headers for the '08-'09 Hayabusa (also available for '99-'07):
Vance & Hines: Performance Exhaust Systems

I emailed Vance and Hines to see if these headers would work with Yosh Slip-ons and was told:
"Yes, our headers will work with any mufflers that will work with the stock head pipe".

I am still trying to find out how much weight I can save by switching to the Vance and Hines headers. The slip-ons (according to Yosh give a weight savings of 14.8lbs).

When I find out I'll update this post.

I wonder if it would help any to use the header with modified stock cans? It is a direct replacement for the stock set right? So the original cans will fit?

 

[Gardzilla]

Yes - Vance and Hines told me that OEM cans or any aftermarket slip-ons will work with their Perfomance Headers.

Now if I could only get my hands on these slipons the world would be perfect and the bike would scream.

Full exhaust is not much more money...why not hold out a little longer?

 

[EarlyBird]

Agreed! Get the full system...loose the weight! Gain the Power!!! Enjoy the sound!!!!!!!

I think that he does want a full system. He wants the r-77 in a full system but with both cans instead of single thats why he wants to use the yosh cans and the vance headers becuase it is a duel exhuast header.

Exactly! From my first post: "I love the look of the R-77 slip ons and I really like the look of the dual cans."

It's a personal preference thing. I'd like to lose weight, pick up some power gains and keep the look of the dual silencers. Yoshimura's R-77 is one of my favorites. With the Vance and Hines Performance Headers I can have a dual full system using the R-77 slip-ons.

Test_Eng if you get in touch with Yosh USA and give them the model number of the slip-ons you want they can get them for you.

That's great! Now a lot of guys who like the dual look, and already have slip ons, can get a dual header and create a full system upgrade.

That's basically what I did to my gen 1

I would like to see the headers all by themselves. I want to see how they connected the two sides. Either a cross pipe or an X pipe had to have been used.

If you go this route, take some pics of the header and post here before installing plz.

 

[Loki08]

It appears to be a cross pipe just in front of the O2 bung.

 

[thebbbusa]

Yeah, I noticed that....that's too bad. Still the stepped portion is good though.

 

[Loki08]

Wish they would wake up from the Flowmaster days. An X-pattern crossover would make better power and keep the the sound true to form.

Nothing like adding a thump to your roar!

 

[dnstommy]

I agree. The dual cans make the busa distinctive. If you drop the dual cans, it looks like any other sport bike. Other than the sidewinder style of exhaust, I dont like single on any Busa. I love the Yosh stuff and would love to find a way to get a header and pipes out of it.

 

[MadLight]

Bump let's keep this updated. Any news. I'm inthe market for an exhaust an I want this.

 

[Gardzilla]

No response on my enquiry as to how much these headers weigh. I'll give them a call this week if I don't get an email response soon.

 

[MadLight]

OK I am definitely watching this thread. I want the r-77 full but this would be better. Will it have the O2 bung and will you need a power commander.???
