Hi everyone
So I got my 2 bros black series installed and it sounds great. I have a p1 silencer installed and at idle sounds pretty mean and then when you get up into the RPM's it really screams. Check out my youtube video's on the bike by searching lilmatty1. Or click the link below

I am looking at Yoshi RS-3 for Bandit, because it comes with the protection of center stand hitting the pipe. I read in one of the forums here that Bandit's would fit 650F as mine has a center stand.
Although I noticed RS-3 is not available when you search for GSX650f on yoshi's website. Does that mean it won't fit it? Or it's okay because it fits the Bandit from the same year?

Any thoughts?
It will fit. If what you're looking at is the RS-3 bolt on rather than the slip on, then you'll be using the stock mid-pipe, and the bump stop is already a part of that. Either way, it will fit perfectly. Only difference is that with an exhaust like the R-77 I have, the 1250 can is 14" vs 12" for the 650 can, and the 1250 mid-pipe has the pump stop.

My two cents: I recently installed the Leo Vince SBK exhaust. Installation was a breeze; it took 30 minutes (and I wasn't rushing), parts fit together perfectly, no leaks. The instructions aren't the best, but anything not clearly described was easy to figure out. I had absolutely no issues when it came to the installation. The pipe and all asociated parts seem to be well built and designed.
The exhaust note sounds great; big improvement over stock (but that is relative, I guess.... some people might not like the increased volume, what sounds good to one person may not to another, etc). I'd say if you're looking for a good throaty sound but not overly/obnoxiously loud, this pipe is great. The db killer does a good job of reducing the volume.
At first, I ran the pipe mostly without the db killer and elatedly soaked up its beautiful song. Unfortunately, tinnitus set in after about 3 weeks. It turns out that the Leo's song was causing hearing damage. Now, I have a new constant companion: a ringing in my ears. It's not horribly loud or annoying, but if I let the situation continue, it may become so. As soon as I noticed the ringing, I put in the db killer and started wearing earplugs in order to avoid further damage. I'm pretty sure it is the exhaust that is causing the tinnitus because I didn't have any issues before the Leo exhaust was installed. With the stock exhaust, I would wear earplugs on longer trips due to wind noise (an hour or more) but not for short jaunts. With the Leo, I need the ear plugs all the time. The upshot is the ride is amazingly peaceful while wearing earplugs! And, I can still hear a bit of the growl from the Leo (albeit pretty muffled), so I can still enjoy the sound, somewhat at least.
So, wear earplugs to avoid tinnitus & hearing damage! That goes for the Leo, and especially exhausts that are even louder (eg. TwoBros, Yoshi TRC). That's the moral of my story.
I just got my new 08 gsx 650f with 2 on the odo and the same day ordered white HID kit and akrapovic exhaust. I love the akrapovic systems on BMW and the evo plus hearing it on a gsxr it was just beautiful

I just installed the Yoshi R-77. I think it looks great, and sounds amazing. I haven't tried with the silencer in it, it just sounds so perfect as is. I do have a question though, should I have waited until my 500 mile break in/service before putting it on? I have about 470 miles on mine, and haven't had the first service done yet.
