Yoshimura exhaust R&D ships up to 6,000 pipes per month! The reason the demand was so high: Quality and Performance. Every Yoshimura pipe goes through an exhaustive research and development program. Typically the lights at Yoshimura are on way after 5:00 each night. Their R&D group and race group integrates and interact in order to bring "cutting edge" track technology to the masses that want the Yoshimura motorcycle exhaust experience.

CNC bent titanium hand welded construction, and hand packed titanium sleeve mufflers are all the top quality features you will find on Yoshimura exhausts.

Yoshimura has been in racing at the top level for so long, they know what works and does not. The brutal factory Yoshimura/Suzuki DRZ400 race bikes are forces to be reckoned with in the hands of Steve Hatch, Rodney Smith, and Mike Keidrowski. Matt Mladin and Aron Yates has piloted the 1000 and 600 respectively winning title after title with the Yoshimura exhaust system.

YOSHIMURA COMPANY HISTORY

Starting back in 1954, the success of Yoshimura as one of the world’s largest performance aftermarket sportbike exhaust companies didn’t happen overnight. Founded by Hideo Yoshimura, or “Pops”, as he was known by, he started out with a few dedicated employees working in a small race shop. The Yoshimura exhaust shop was quick at pumping out fast bike motors, the reputation of “Yoshimura-built” motors grew and he soon created a cult-like following among racing enthusiasts. With this momentum Pops turned his attention to the U.S.

In the mid 70’s, Yoshimura R&D of America Inc. was up and running and the new American division was building a reputation just as strong as its parent company had in Japan. In the early days of Yoshimura pipe R&D, legendary tracks such as Daytona and Loudon were the proving ground for the “new kids on the block.” The granddaddy of them all, Daytona, was where the Yoshi crew staked its claim for the Yoshimura motorcycle exhaust. The bikes held up to the punishing high banks of Daytona and the power was there!
