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
