Then I noticed a small dent in the #4 primary tube. Seller must have overlooked disclosing that one.....hmmmmmmmm :huh:
I don't believe it will affect performance, just an asthetic drawback

Then there were 2 small pinholes in the bottom 2 primaries near the collector. Again, the seller must have accidentally overlooked disclosing that one too.....Luckily, that was the last of the "problems" not disclosed int he auction

I was AMAZED at the size of the collector/muffler tubing size. I had read it was 3",but I wasn't prepared for how BIG it would look in person :ohmy: :blink:

Oh yes, one more item the seller omitted- the Yoshimura emblem on the tailpipe had one pin sheared off

At least the core is in good shape. The packing was non-existant, but it was straight and complete

With regards to the dent, I believe I can weld a stud on there and use a slide hammer to pull it out......mostly

It would be interesting to try a perf tube baffle in your yoshi pipe. I did some dyno testing comparing perf tube vs louvered silencers and the found for the same size diameter a perf tube flows much better than a louvered tube. I have a Kerker KR on my MKII and built my own aluminum tail pipe. Originally I used a Yosh competion baffle, but then switched to perf tube. Seemed to have alot more power with the perf tube.
