It's a shame, because Parenthesis looks great.

[How is it used?

I switched my car to a Z900RS and the NORMAL sound was not bad, but
Purchased because the sound quality was a little different from my taste and I wanted to change the appearance and reduce the weight.

The following imprements were installed on a previous Z900 (unmarked)
Full titanium exhaust & SC1-RSilencer by SC-PROJECT
This is a very dry comparison with

Was the one you received as per Image?

Material:I found it surprisingly heavy for this Size in Titanium.
The slanted area on the opposite side of the exit has a rough surface like sharkskin.

Was the installation difficult?

When installing the inner baffle, use a ring to hold it down so that it does not wobble inside.
The system allows the user to enter the parts, but there are many similar parts, so it was difficult to know which parts to use.
I wish they would number the bags containing the Parts.

Silencer band is included, but you need to prepare your own bracket and bolts for fixing.
You need to be creative and inventive yourself.
I installed it in combination with K-fac's CLRExhaust pipe,
The bracket is Nankai Parts' Universal Bracket Length 225mmOffset 75mm (Part No. MSTL-225FR-75),
The silencer was fastened to the OEMLoading Hook by using the OEMSilencer Fixing Bolt.
Spring is the one that came with the CLRExhaust pipe.

However, the Silencer band is a little small in diameter and deformed when used as it is.
The bracket is then connected to the OHLINS Preload Adjuster.
Spacer of 3mm was put in because of interference.

How was your experience with it?

In combination with K-fac CLRExhaust pipe, even with inner baffle in place.
Considerable blast from Idling.
It might be more annoying than the SC-PROJECTFull Exhaust System without Baffle that was installed on my previous Z900 with the same Straight structure.

The Z900 series has a high ColdStart Idling.
Idling in a residential area is a Level that is sure to be Objection from neighbors.
Baffles can be attached to the exits as well,
It sounds like a whistle, like a Large Dump car, and I can't bring myself to use it.

The sound quality is rough and muddy from Idling with CLRExhaust pipe + Inner baffle.
The sound does not become a clear high-pitched or pleasant sound as it is turned, and it remains a harsh, dusky sound until the very end.
The trend may be similar to the OEM sound.

It seems that the inner baffle is causing a lot of exhaust resistance.
I don't feel that the low speed Torque is extremely gone and AfterFirea is not at all.
I feel that the performance has been downgraded quite clearly because it feels like it is jammed on top despite the bombast.

I tried running the next day WITHOUT Baffle's full Straight and it was so loud that I could say it was heinous.
Level, which is no different from the straight pipe of a family car.
The sound quality and running are better than with Baffle, but at any rate, it is too noisy.
It is highly likely that we will abandon the use of the system, although we need to consider whether we should compromise on driving and sound by emphasizing style.

Very disappointed because I like the look of Large.
Link pipe and Quantity as Slip-on Silencer for Z900RS OEM exhaust pipe:There are some that are sold Set.
It might work there.

[Included Parts:were they on?

・Instruction Manual
Silencer Band (possibly Material):(Stainless Steel)
Adapter for mounting on 54mm exhaust pipe, Spacer, etc.
1 pc. each of exit and inner baffle for installation.
K-fac Emblem
(Spring not included)

[Was there anything that disappointed you?

I was expecting the sound quality to be clear and pleasant like the previous SC-PROJECT car.
With Baffle, it was like a very loud OEM that I didn't like.
The sales pitch was that the volume could be adjusted by using a combination of inner and exit baffles.
The volume of the Inner is not as low as expected, and the sound quality is poor.
Exhaust resistance is too Large and performance is down from NORMAL to Large.

Other items that would be helpful

Items to buy together:.
This is a Universal Product, so brackets, springs, bolts, etc. for fixing the silencer are required separately. View detail

5/5

I'm glad I chose YOSHIMURA.

The moderate exhaust sound and characteristic exhaust sound of NORMAL were good, but I couldn't stand the appearance of the exhaust system. However, as for the sound, there were many installation videos on the web, so I was not expecting much, but the impression I got when I actually installed the exhaust system was that it was just a hair above the normal exhaust system. Before I put it on, I thought that the baffle made it sound less white, but after I put it on, I realized that the role of the baffle is to make the sound large, which was a pleasant miscalculation.
Another high point was the YOSHIMURA logo on the end of the baffle, which is not just a baffle, but a one-point small technique that is very effective.
The power feeling is not so great since NORMAL is sufficient, but the response of the Engine is even better, and the Level is extremely exhilarating.

However, the intake sound of that beastly roar of NORMAL seems to have been muffled, so those who value the intake sound more than the exhaust sound may want to consider selecting NORMAL.

Although lighter than the NORMAL, it is still a little heavier, so as long as you are careful with it, it should be extremely easy to install. Also, it would be better if you have a new Gasket.
I didn't prepare it, so I am using it as is.

I was very hesitant because of the price, but I was convinced! View detail
