I'm looking to slip the new Yoshimura Pipes to my scoot. If you have done this one to yours, can you share your experience, comments, and advice to a newbie in relation to power, looks and sound. Thanks in Advance. Post some pics as well. :p

Just put the carbon one on my GF's ruckus. Very nice kit, I guess as expected with Yoshimura. It isn't ridiculous loud though, which is good IMO, it's a scooter after all. I can't really say exactly what it did individually for performance because I also installed a Kitaco intake, variator, rollers, kevlar belt, and CDI and a bunch of other stuff all at the same time too. It's a completely different ride now, that's all I can say.

I think it looks much smoother than the rather large looking DRD or TBR too, but just my opinion.

I just put the Yoshi on my Ruckus yesterday. I rode around all day today and I really like the deep tone of the Yoshi. I had an NCY before that I handed down to my wife. It is loud, especially with an intake hooked up.



As for the backfire, I didn't notice much when I let off the throttle. I have everything dialed in from the NCY and didn't have to change my settings on the carb from swapping exhausts. My buddy has the Yoshi on a stock 50 and his backfires but thats because he didnt tune the carb.



I didnt notice any performance improvement from the Yoshi but again I had another exhaust already. I did notice that I really can hear the engine bouncing off the Rev limiter more. It would bounce before as well, but now I can hear it much more.



As for pics I'm too lazy to take some now, but google "Ruckus Yoshi" and I'm sure you'll get lots of Images.
