that front band with the rivets - looks just like Yoshi to me ? This is a bolt-on pipe right ?

To me it doesn't look like a bolt on Gos,looks like a complete system.

Have a close look inside that front cover plate, right at the front of the muffler. This looks exactly like the cover plate on the RS3 Yoshi bolt-on I had on the MFP12. This cover plate had 2 6mm allen-head bolts, one at the top and one at the bottom........if these are not present, then I don't know what pipe that is ...

It could also be a stainless-steel 'Staintune' muffler........is it perfectly round or slightly oval ? Most Yoshi's have a badge on them......or even a small stamped emblem on the end ? Some of the other aftermarket pipes out there, don't have any permanent markings - things like Roo Racing, or other local Oz brands.....

All that matter - is the NOISE mate !!! :kuda: does it sound good when ya give it a floggin' ?? :lol:

I looked on the net last night and I couldn't find one exactly the same, and staintune (reasonably sure?) have the name stamped into it.
We guessed it at being a custom job

It has been suggested that it may be a Scorpion pipe,that's the closest thing I can find to WTFing thing is.

Cheers,guys thanks for your help. :D

I'd say Megacycle or Staintune. But did you buy the bike cos of how it looked and sounded, or for the sticker that is missing? Nice to know tho i suppose.

Nice bike by the way. :D
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
