    No, but when I bought my first one it had a Remus (anus) 4:1 exhaust which was so loud I could not ride a km without earplugs.
    My solution is to refit and original exhaust.
    My third 1000R had a 4:1 also but was much more tolerable.

    The Yoshi system is a nice little setup. On my 750 I have the Pro can and even with new packing it can be crazy loud.
    They have quieter Yoshi cans but they still are expensive. I emailed about the x-pipe last year and they said they
    needed a bike to measure. Personally I keep the Yoshi pipes and just change the can. If you do change the whole
    system I'm sure there will be someone here who would like to get them.

    I called Monty the owner at Mavi-X and he said all I need are the original 2 rear cylinder pipes to conect to his pipes and silencers. So i am looking for a pair of the original pipes not that easy to come by online. Ineed to find someone parting out some VF 'S that still has the pipes.

    thanks

    I probably have a spare set of rear pipes but postage could be pricey.

    I have yet to see a worse pipe configuration for a V4 than the X-Pipe. Every pipe that makes power or at least only loses a little power has flowing bends in the rear pipes that get the exhaust heading BACK before merging with the fronts. From the most expensive HRC to the cheapest Mac, this is how it's done. The X config "might" be Ok for an inline where all the pipes are heading in one direction before merging in the X but it's clear they just threw together something for the V4. The rears are sending exhaust straight at the rearward flow of the fronts and God only knows what happens to it while it's trying to make a sharp turn to head back towards the cans. Run, don't walk, to Ebay and get a stock collector, then find some matching cans and have a mid pipe made up to join them. It will be way cheaper, run better, and sound great.
