Toomey Exhaust for YFZ450

[ellison445]

I was flipping through the pages of Septembers copy of dirtwheels and I noticed toomey has come out with an exhaust for the YFZ 450. I thought toomey claimed they would never make exhaust for 4 stroke bike? They also claim this exhaust will make a 4stroke sound like a 2 stroke,how I have no fucking clue. But what do you guys think of this?

That is the first I've heard of this....I can't imagine being able to make a 4 stroke engine sound like a 2 stroke engine but who knows.

 

I'd be interested to hear more info about it though...

My friend told me about it and I dident find it on there site, so I told him he was full of shit

I saw that as well. From my understanding its just a slip on pipe, no head pipe. If your interested just go on their site and ask for yourself. They have always responded to my e-mails, most of the time Toomey himself.

Its on page 190 of dirtwheels. I will snap a pic when I get home.

It doesn't say it will make it sound like a 2 stroke. It says awesome Toomey sound, but then again Toomey has always been about 2 strokes. I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

My point exactly, What does a toomey pipe sound like? all toomey pipes sound the same becuase they are all 2 stroke pipes! So if they are saying this pipe is going to have the same sound as the other pipes

Toomey has a distinct sound to it. Especially at high speeds. That's like saying all 2 strokes sound alike and they dont. I imagine Toomey is trying to step into the market in another area, which if its a good pipe will only make him that much more money. Always nice to expand your product line to bring in more customers. I really like my HMF, but Toomey was awesome on the banshee and I would not hesitate to be a repeat customer to Toomey again.

this is a sad day for 2 stroke fans IMO. it only takes a free flowing silencer to really wake up a bottled 4 poke, they all gain dam n near the same anyways, so its really no revolutionary design a 2 stroke pipe is much much more involved however

i think they are making some good choices. no reason they cant branch out. toomey makes awesome pipes and i gaurantee this one will be no different. their name alone sells many pipes.

no shit, just put a (T) in front of a number and bam you got one of the top pipes around. all i can remember is from t4 and up. shows how long ive been in the game.

toomey has to be feeling a big dent in his wallet with all the thumpers being sold.with no more new banshees being produced how long do you think he would stay in buisness selling 2 stroke pipes?not very long, 90 out of 100 new banshee owners, the first thing they want is toomey pipes.it is only smart buisness for him to do some r&d on the thumpers to keep money flowing in.when i bought my 2000 off the showroom,i wanted the t5 pro racer kit bolted on before i left the shop.

Defintely a smart business move. They have a name and many will buy it just for that. Though they will have to step up the quality to compete with the other 4 stroke lines. Titanium and stainless run exclusive in the higher end systems.
