I was looking at getting a CB350 4 and there are a few fabricators out there that made pipes that are close to the vintage Yoshimura Pipes. But this 2014 bike kind of dropped in my lap for a price I could not refuse. The very next thing I did before I even got the bike was to order the Yoshimura Full Exhaust.

For me a Honda 4 and Yoshimura Pipe is like Peanut Butter and Jelly... Burger & Fries... Beer & Pizza! I think you get the idea!

Did you ever sell your stock pipes?

Did you ever sell your stock pipes?

See above... I have them listed on eBay for $600 right now.

I used to have an early 90's 750 Nighthawk with a Yoshi pipe. I opened that thing up and repacked it at least four times, trying to quiet it down some, and never did get it to where I liked it. On my first 750 Nighthawk, it had a 4-2 setup. I removed the end plates on both sides, cut off some of the snorter and put them back. The difference was tremendous! Not super loud, but a nice aggressive in-line 4 growl that got better as the revs climbed. I was pushed off the bike by an old lady who came into my lane leaving a red light, and insurance totalled it. I came out OK, a little bruising, but I sure missed that sound, and have been trying to recreate it on the CB, with no luck. I've drilled the end cap until there is hardly any of it left, and it still sounds like a hair dryer.

When I posted my "hello" to the new members section I expressed a little dislike for the RS-3 and one or two people mentioned they would trade me the stock for the Yoshimura.

I tried to find the carbon fiber version that my bike has online and it seems that either they don't make it anymore or I am just looking in all the wrong places. What's the draw for the RS-3 on our bikes? Noise? Less restricted air flow? And is there any benefit to the carbon fiber version? Surely it is just a wrap so it doesn't really reduce weight, right? Is it purely aesthetics?

From what I read about unrestricting the engine with the Guhl programming and a fuel mapping add-on, then perhaps there is a performance increase but also it seems only with an air intake mod as well.

Just curious and wondering. The look is kind of growing on me but I must confess, I find the size looks a bit out of balance with the retro nature of the bike. It certainly sounds better to me now with the silencer insert installed, but I find I am still trying to come to terms with the look and sound. Also, at what mileage should I send it in for repacking?

I can verify it is carbon fiber made a mess cutting mine

I know I'm biased, but the Arrow is so nice on a CB!

Thank you!! I think Arrow and Honda must have got together on this one.
