Which one of these would you fellow listers recommend, based on sound and build quality? Also, does either have any installation probs I should be aware of?

 

The 2Bro's are loud compared to the Yosh pipes.

The Yosh's are fairly mellow under normal conditions but still loud enough at full throttle.

Build quality of the Yosh is also MUCH higher than the 2Bros.

 

Thanks for the input. I wish I could hear sound samples of the two, but I think everything I find so far is leading me towards the Yosh's.

 

I'll try to get a sound sample of my YOSH for ya.

 

Using TwoBros C4 Carbons, sound great, look great but a bit loud. (I wear ear plugs and keep it calm in the neighborhood :-) )

 

I also have the high mount Jardines (round), and they came with the passenger footpeg adapter things. One thing you can't see in the pics normally is that they come with 4 billet spacer tubes. They move your passenger footpegs out about 2" further from the bike on either side. This was done for clearance purposes. I still had clearance problems; with any weight on the pegs, the brackets dug into the cans. A couple of washers would have remedied the situation, but I really have no need for passenger pegs anyway, so I just left them off. I thought they looked kind of strange like that anyway....

I'll try to post some pics soon.

 

I have Micron slip ons and my buddy has Two Bro's on his SV 650. The build quality is better with the Micron's but his 2 Bro's sound AMAZING. Its a nice deep wump wump sound, whereas mine has kind of a whirring with a whistle (and yes, the packing is fine).

So ya, I'm jealous that his little bike sounds beefier than my litre.

 

devil's are loud and the high mounts are tight up under the tail, they also look great in carbon fiber. I had micron carbon fiber on my zx9r and they looked really nice.

 

Have you heard how the Devils sound in comparison to the two bros?

 

Although the poll is of little use now since I'm sure you've all ready purchased a set of pipes, I thought I'd mention this to future buyers.

The yoshi's (hack, p-tooey) are for Suzukis damnit! Seriously, the zyclones are quieter than most. I tried one on a cbr f2 when the first came out. The extra packing didn't last very long and they wouldn't sell me a repack kit, had to send it back to them! What about us, who have sold the original pipe, huh?

2bros does sell the kits IIRC. I need to check as my C4 Ti highmounts definitely need them.

 

I have the Yosh Stainless. Had loud system on last bike and there were times I wish I could turn the volume down. Got popped at the Dragon because the cop heard me commin and was ready for the kill. The Yosh cans have a nice tone. I always ride with ear plugs and you can still here the music. Other people can too. If you want loud these are not the the cans for you. Fit and finish are top shelf. I did not rejet and probably won't. It just runs too sweet. One thing about ear plugs. Make sure that they don't stick out of your ears so far as to touch the helmet in any way. If they touch they will actually transmit helmet noise to your ears.

 

I wish the Carbon Cans sold in the UK were available here in the U.S.

Their DB Killers are a groovy idea in my opinion

I can offer personal opinions from personal use of Yosh. RS3 stainless, and TBR C2 AL on the Superhawk.

Sound: No comparison, the TBR's kill the Yoshi's with the intoxicating sound of raw power! The RS3's were not as deep in tone, had a whirring sound, but were much quiter. I never worried about noise with the Yoshi's. The TBR's are too loud at idle, but smooth out a little around 4000. Over 5500rpm and you get loud again.

Quality: Toss up... I had a Yoshi full system, and now have a TBR full system. Both are good quality. I much preferred TBR's header arrangement over the now unavailable Yoshimura design.

Appearence: Toss up... Both systems were high quality stainless steel headers, and polished cans. The Yoshis were low mount stainless cans, the TBR's are high mount aluminum cans.

Weight: Damn those stainless Yoshi's were heavy!!! The TBR system is MUCH lighter. It's probably due mostly to the AL cans.

Although I find the TBR's to be a little too loud for me (I think I care too much about the non riders I pass!!), I much prefere thier sound, weight, and appearence (due to high mount). I'm very pleased with my change, and I would do it again!

 

I have the devil stainless high mounts and love them. I've also heard a shawk with the TBR's and I think the Devil's sound more like a race bike. At higher RPM's they scream. And at lower RPM's they have a deep rumble I set off car alarms all the time. The TBR's sound a little more muted sort of a softer pop then the devil's.

 

This may be an old post.....but...I started with D&D slip ons...LOUD all the time.

Went to a Two Brothers full system. Instalation was a dream. Done in an afternoon. Yes a bit loud....no more than a HD.... Finish and build on the C4's....excellent.

Yosh....as said before.....I don't own a Suzuki.
