Do any of you guys have the carbon fiber slip-on? I've heard it's cooler to the touch after a ride than the stainless pipe. I was just wondering if this is true. Is there any actual advantage of the carbon fiber pipe over a stainless pipe, aside from weight or is it just a coolness factor??

If you get carbon fiber you need to be sure to repack your muffler every 15,000 miles. Without proper packing high temperatures will cause the resin in the carbon fiber to break down. Yoshimura will also void your lifetime warranty if you fall into this situation.

There is no special advantage other that maybe a pound or two less than ttitanium. Honestly the carbon fiber muffler costs more and has a better chance of breaking. You are just paying for the look.


I JUST put on my Yoshimura TRS (Titanium)last night.
All the info I just gave you was text out of the instructions.

I thought the carbon fiber pipe was just the finish that was applied to the outside of the pipe? Also, can anyone tell me the difference between a bolt on and a slip on? From the pictures I've seen, the bolt on is the canister only, while the slip on is the canister and the metal pipe that extends from it. Is either one better than the other performance wise?

I think the only difference between the bolt on and the slip on is a smoother bend of the slipon. They use a different pipe bender than the stock pipes have. Not sure about performance but it does look smoother and better.
