I want to know who has the best deal on Yosh exhaust for the Raptor?

 

I HIGHLY ADVISE OF YOU NOT TO BUY THIS EXHAUST IT IS TERRIBLE ON A RAPTOR!!!!!! It was my first and sent it back within a week piece of junk

 

Why do you highly advise not to get this pipe? I have only heard great things about the yoshi. Anyone else with feedback on this exhaust please post.

 

Alljuice,

I'd like to hear SpdRcr's comments as well. Yes, the Yoshi is costly, but in this case, you get what you pay for, or at least in relation to the other pipes.

The biggest selling points to me for the Yoshi is that:

it accepts and looks correct using both of the stock heat guards;
it is made from stainless steel construction (not mild steel) that has no coatings to crack or rub off which allows it to be polished and cleaned as often as you like;
Yoshimura is known for quality and realistic stated HP figures which seems to be a rarity in the world of ATV performance parts;
it easily goes from spark arrested (using a screen) to fully uncorked by only removing the billet aluminum end cap, taking out the gasket/screen and replacing the end cap;
it's not quite as loud as some of the aftermarket exhaust available;

With that said, I'll go on to say that if I was to keep my Raptor, I'd keep my Yoshi as well. However, with not a single ride in the last few months, I'm probably going to sell it all and cut my losses. I'll have to add that part of my reason for selling is that I'm disillusioned with Yamaha and all their hype along with their failure to fix problems. So far, I've not had major trouble and hope that my extended warranty would cover any if I were to, but it's still the principle of the matter.
