Default Yoshi R77-D installed

I just installed my can the other day. I love the sound!!! much better than stock but not too loud. Oh and what a surprise when i un bolted the stock. Its sooo damn heavy compared to this thing.

Yosh makes a quality product. Looks great in all carbon. I have the 77 carbon/stainless with the db killa pulled. Love it

Stupid question but how does it sound compared to the stock? Does it gargle and crackle when downshifting?

Oh man sounds way better than stock. The Pop or sometimes gargle only happens when you roll off the throttle. Not really on the downshifts. Part of enjoying my ride is not only visual but also hearing the exhaust. The R77-D is not too loud but loud enough to make a smooth growl. Matches the look of the bike with the sound if you get what im saying. Now thinking about getting a power commander. if I switch out the air filter, would things get louder? and is a PC really neccesary if my bike is only for street use?

I have a K&N air filter but cannot tell the difference in sound as my R77 is too loud!

That's gotta be the the best looking exhaust I've seen. Suits the design of the bike really nicely. I was leaning toward a Two Brothers, but that looks so sweet it's changing my mind, I think.
