Yoshimura for Toyota motor? - LotusTalk

brookester · 02-12-2005, 09:59 AM

Does anybody know if Yoshimura is planning to build an exhaust system for the Toy motor? I know that they offered a system for the Rover motor and they build good motorcycle systems.

Who knows, but more interestingly, my last name is Brooker and I have a Yoshimura on my K-series... small world... or i'm just weird.

Why are you interested in Ti exhaust equipment?

If it’s for reducing weight you’ll find other possibilities, which are much cheaper.

Referring weight reduction concentrate on rotating and unsprung masses.

Thin and light exhaust piping not( not only in Ti but also in inox steel alloys ) may cause rather unpleasant acoustic effects.

Do you have a Ti system? Or an Elise? Have you heard the Ti systems?

Ruediger · 03-14-2005, 10:20 AM

Please why should I have this at my Elise?

I know that Yosh makes good performing motorcycle exhausts and I was curious if there might be one more exhaust option available.

brookester · 03-14-2005, 04:22 PM

Btw, tonyyoshi, my FIRST name is Brooke [no I'm not female, but sometimes I get cheaper insurance rates

] and I just want to compliment you on your Elise. Very sweet! Do you have any more pics?

Our partners in Japan requested that Yoshimura make an exhaust for the Toyota car but the minimum volume requirements were too high. So no Yosh system exists for our car.

Our Arqray systems, soon to be available in Ti or SS, are a great alternative. They definately sound more like a motorcycle than the other exhaust options that exist. The Ti solution below weighs 9lbs.

if u ever read the motorcycle magazines when they have an exhaust shootout, where they test like 15 exhausts on the same bike, the yosh pipes usually finish around mid pack.....im not so impressed.

Hey tony,
Are you running Advan A032R on your right and a different brand on the left?

Or maybe you took two sets of tires to the track?

Hi Shinoo,

Do you have any information for Argray SS twin as dyno chart, wav, and sound level?

Thanks,

Hung-Jen Hung

Lots of different tyres and wheels at the track. Those are Dunlop 02G tyres. The old ones were Yoko A038 SS tyres.

oh no, my life is ruined....

My buddy's 2001 GSXR 1000 got 153 rwhp [up from 145rwhp] with just a Yoshimura Tri oval slip on and a little A/F tuning. That doesn't sound too shabby to me.
