I bought a full Yoshi carbon system for my 2005 R6, and wanted to hear from anyone who had installed a similar system on their '05 model.
I only have experience with slip-ons and hadn't intended on buying a full system - it just happened to be dirt cheap and I had been drinking.
I am doing my own research before it arrives in the next few days, but figured I would stop here and ask if anyone could share their experience.
Did you fit the system yourself and then take it to a bike shop for the mapping? One man or two man job? Was the wrenching hard, or fairly straightforward? Any noticeable performance increase?
I currently only have a Yoshi Tio Oval Slip On (which is shortened)
There is no reason you cant fit the system yourself. Very straight forward. Just make sure you get new gaskets (and hardware if you think you'll need it, its recommended to replace them)
Do you have a power commander? If not, wait until you get one to install the exhaust. You will be able to run the bike without it and the exhaust fitted - however your air to fuel ratio will not be anywhere near ideal. Take it for custom tuning or download a custom map off power commanders website. Might not be perfect for your exact bike but it will be pretty damn close.
You might notice a 2-5 HP gain once proper tuning has occurred.
I installed a full hindle exhaust on my '05 and it was pretty easy, but I already had a power commander installed. You can order new gaskets from JP cycles (online) to go with ur exhaust.
There are probably used PCIIIs on this forum for sale and a how to tutorial. I've found other tutorials on this forum and they are super helpful.
Thanks for the tip. I posted a wanted advertisement on the parts section of the forums for a PC3.
I missed the delivery today; the exhaust is waiting for me at the post-office. Hopefully I can get it fitted this weekend. As a cost saving exercise I will download a map rather than taking it to the shop and see how I go...I can always take it to the bike shop afterwards, but I'll learn more if I download it initially myself.
OP: Im thinking of picking one of these same ones for my 05, for a good price as well. How did the install of the the system go? Oh, and PCM.. Is it worth it?
