Hay all you dont need old stock exhaust flanges, i'll go down and make some measurements and draw it up. It is soo easy.

Gregory N. Mountain

So did you get any measurements?? Has anyone gotten exact measurements for that matter??

And when you say you don't need the exhaust flanges, how do you get the exhaust to stay on without them?

I have a guy to make me some, really cheap, I'm just waiting around to get some "exacts" for him. It's better than showing him some pictures.

Got mine today. They look beautiful. ;D

The house shop the bike is in right now is to much of a mess to even try a mock up :'(
I just hope the end clears the rear sets ???  .....looks tight.

Good looking pipe seaweb. The whole package is pretty shiney. It's going to kill you the first time you're caught out in the rain.

Thanks for the B&D schtik, still can't help but laugh. There is something wrong with us all I quess!

Where does the rear of that beautiful piece bolt up ?   Passenger peg ?

Could you give us another "side shot" ?

Can't wait to see that thing finished

  An orig Yosh hand-bent race pipe is very lightweight and has no rear mount (or muffler, just a baffle). OEM flanges were welded to those sexy curved pipes, which foul the frame when installing/removing - you need to physically "spread" the 1-2 and 3-4 pipes apart to clear frame downtubes, which get scratched pretty good everytime but the sound is worth it.

I've got a later Yosh 4 into 1 hanging in my garage, I've no idea what's meant by "Hand made" and "Machine made", I'm guessing machines were used to make either, it's hard to form steel tube without them, I've found. ;D

Mine have straighter headers than the ones in that pic, and the tail pipe from the collector back is a much nicer, smoother bend, it's a much more "professional" looking pipe, overall. (in my opinion, of course)

I'll take it off the garage wall tomorrow night and take a pic. Cheers, Terry. ;D 

Hey Terry, did you ever get a pic of that bad boy?  I'd sure like to see it ;)

The original yoshi pipes didn't have the "cut and shut" section behind the collector, these angular joins would alter exhaust flow resulting in a different sounding pipe.The originals were all hand bent, the "S" piece at the rear was bent not welded. Here is a couple of pics of Terry's pipes


Thanks for the pics Terry.... ;D

Does anyone have a carpy replica? I wouldn't mind a comparison between carpy's, yamiya's or any other replica. I am in the market for one and am not really sure which way to go.

No worries Mick, thanks for posting the pics of my Yoshi pipe. It's probably gonna sound like heresy, but it really is a much nicer looking pipe than the first "stove pipe" versions, I reckon. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
