RidersDiscount Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Full-exhaust system performance without the full exhaust system price. Yoshimura’s engineers recognized early on that the OEM headers as fitted to 2015+ YZF-R1 models was well designed, light and well, difficult to improve on. So, instead of going the whole hog, they released the Race Series Alta ¾ titanium exhaust system you see below. All Alpha Series components are engineered for the race track, they’re lighter than the stock components they replace while improving exhaust flow at the same time. This particular kit bolts up in place of the OEM catalytic convertor, saving tons of weight, and the heat that comes along with having such a piece of equipment fitted to your bike. The result, weight savings and performance aside, is the crossplane firing order’s sound being turned up to plenty loud! The link pipes and mid pipes are all fabricated entirely of titanium and come fitted with the requisite oxygen sensor bungs for the OE sensors, plus an additional bung is fitted just ahead of where the muffler is attached. It’s there for aftermarket tuners that employ their own O2 sensors – a nice bonus for the serious performance rider! At the end you’ll find a carbon fiber canister. This unit features a titanium inlet cap that meets carbon fiber woven to Yoshimura’s specifications for the muffler’s sleeve and end cap. Through the middle, there’s plenty of space for gases to pass through and it’s all held together with high-quality hardware. Each exhaust system comes with all required hardware for an easy, pain-free installation (especially considering you don’t have to replace the headers). Get this stellar exhaust shipped to your door, call Mike on 866.931.6644 ext. 818, send a note to forum@ridersdiscount.com, or just shoot us a PM and we’ll get back to you right away.
