Yea, I had the Tri-Oval dual outlet with the Yosh EMS programmer on my first GSXR ('01), I got it when it first came out and I liked it but... next season EVERYBODY had it. So on my '03 I first went with D&D but WOW it was LOUD, so I changed to a Blue Flame exhaust, no problem with copy cats for sure! This bike started with a M4 Gp exhaust but it was pretty loud so I changed up to the Akrapovic. Akra=quality!

Bike looks good man. I've always been a fan of white wheeled Zuk's.

You can say that again, I don't see a single gsxr around here without a yoshi exhaust, including the one in my garage.(secretly going to sell it off and get something diff)

The white looks good.

How did they hold up to the rims going on?

Did he sand blast before coating?

He stripped them with a wire wheel. He did a great job. I did put one small scratch in them by dropping a tool on them.

Really, they should be pretty resistant to scratching. I've seen a guy hit powder with a hammer and it not do anything to it.

Yea well I dropped a 3 lb+ tire iron on it, sharp end down and it made an un-shinny spot. I touched it up, no worries.
