I was told this by this senior Suzuki motors engineer whom I had met a couple of years back for some work on my Gen 2 Busa. He told me about the quality of the Yoshimura systems and that Suzuki had bought over Yoshimura a few years back & they develop very safe systems tailor made for Suzuki bikes. Also here in India Suzuki is selling only Yoshimura & Akrapovic systems through the dealerships and any other system installed will make the warranty null & void.Where did you hear Yoshimura is owned by Suzuki?
Yoshimura is not owned by Suzuki although Yoshimura did have a relationship with Suzuki for years and was part of their development team for race bikes...
I am a big fan of Yoshimura systems...
I have this exhaust on order and should hear something this week! Fingers crossedBUT.....watched a ton of the AT2 videos.....man it sounds good. And light too
Unfortunately not true,it's a very close relationship like termignoni and Ducati. Yoshimura and Akrapovic are the ones that have jumped through hoops to create legal road systems or simply fall within the guidelines where it doesn't effect the engine to manufacture spec.I was told this by this senior Suzuki motors engineer whom I had met a couple of years back for some work on my Gen 2 Busa.

You're absolutely correct.Doesn’t sound right brother
I Contacted Brocks yesterday, no plans for a dual system so far as the rep knew.Anyone here know Brock?
That could ask about what it would take to get an order of the old full dual header? If even possible?
How many a minimum order for him would be(he'd have to order x amount)?
And if even possible; what they would cost the customer?
Anyone have any contacts at Hindle?
Nah, I knew that.I Contacted Brocks yesterday, no plans for a dual system so far as the rep knew.
Gotcha....'Im tracking now.Nah, I knew that.
I meant if anyone could talk to Brock and ask him if there was any way that he could get a batch of his gen2 dual header made again.
He had a full dual CT system for a few years, but that's been a while ago.
Are those the onyx you mentioned?Heard back from Don at Yosh regarding ordering the Hepta Force slip on's: 4-6 wait if ordered today.
The Onyx is a black chrome finish for the R77's.Are those the onyx you mentioned?

Chaps,Okay Chaps,
Here's the conversation with Rich Kelly, Akrapovic:
The resleeve kits are still available for the dual exhaust systems. I had to double-check with some folks at the factory, they told me the carbon fiber resleeve kits are not interchangeable with the titanium ones. Of course, if you'd still like to try the part number for the carbon fiber kit is P-RKS216RC45. I don't know the exact dimensions, but it should match those mufflers precisely. It comes with the rivets, sticker, bands and sleeve.
You'd want to order two kits, one for each muffler, and you can do it through any of our registered Akrapovic dealers or retailers here in the US.
Find a Retailer
Thanks!
