anyone recognize this exhaust?

[20_rc51_00]

I just bought these pipes, they are stamped yoshimura on the end caps. None of the US guys on the other forums recognize them as something they have seen from yosh before. They have a removable baffle which I believe to be more common from Euro bikes from what my hunt for exhaust pipes has led me to believe. My thoughts are that they are Euro or Japanese market pipes. Thanks.

Interesting system with the link pipes, support brackets and silencer seeming all in one. Either modded up by owner/fabricator or came from Japan. Never seen anything like it here in Euro land.

Don't look like real Yoshimura to me, never seen anything like that here.

I'd say they were home made as well, with a set of Yoshi cans as starters.

the welds are phenomenal on the link pipes. beautiful stack of coins just like my yosh system on my rc51 sp1.... plus it appears to be made of the same material and the same expansion of the mids toward the cans.

The Yoshi stamp doesnt look as clean/pronounced as you would normally expect, but I have to say the pipes are different to the norm, thats for sure.

I contacted Yoshimura a few days back and provided them with some pics for ID. They confirmed that it was a Yoshimura product. It is an older gen RS-3 for the vtr1000 that was discontinued some time ago.
