Alright, so I work at Dunkin Donuts. Today I was taking out the trash to the dumpster, and lying right next to the dumpster is a perfect condition carbonfiber streetbike exhaust. So I naturally told no one, and made myself the last one to leave. When everyone was gone, I pulled my truck up next to the dumpster and threw it in the bed. Any idea how much its worth? Theres no labels on it, and I have no idea what model its for. Oh yea, and its just the silencer.

its either a yoshi,akrapovic or a factory type carbon fiber that yamaha makes. it wont be much value cause no1 will buy it because you dont know what bike its for post a pic so some1 may be abloe to identify it for u. i know a yoshi has tons of lil things on it with the yosh symbol.

ebay it, unless it will fit on mine:D is it a bolt on or a slip on? bolt on you bolt on, slip on you have to cut the exhaust and clamp it on...

Take it your a couple of your local dealers, mabey they can figure out what it's for by comparing to to bikes on the showroom floor, or in the product catalouges.

Alright, I looked it over and it says Yamaha-something, and then something about "this is a Yamaha-motor aptroved spark arrestor" or something on the endcap, so Im guessing its a GYT-R carbon fiber exhaust. Im guessing its a bolt on because it has like a ring around the end that connects to the header and it has like a bolt whole thing, idk. Right now Im thinking either R1 or R6 GYT-R. Any ideas on a price? I dont think it has any scratches on it, and all the aluminum and carbon fiber looks great.

Put it on e-bay, might be able to get 150 out of it. If its nice.

I thought you were going to say you had sex with 2-3 hot chicks at once:confused:

That would be more worthy of the thread title:ermm: But good find anyways.

Well for making minimum wage and throwing trash into a dumpster, it definitely seems worthy of the thread title to me.

Im not going to use ebay, because ebay takes too much $$.

Free cycle trader then? Other then posting it for sale on sights like this one. I would not suggest the local paper, because it could be stolen/and dumped merchandise. Snap a pic and post it.

And crday, Im not really a big fan of ebay anymore with their charges, personal opinion I guess.

More than likely it came off a stolen bike, and who ever has the bike swapped pipes to change the look. Then dumped the pipe in a dumpster in an alley somewhere.

Hmm...I must be too honest...or paranoid one of the two.

I'd bring it to the po-po...maybe you could get a reward from who-ever got their **** nabbed. I'd be nervous about selling it...anyone could question where you got it. Then accuse you of grand theft, not somewhere I'd want to be.

it is a slip on, regular mount not a high mount, but there is no good way to find out what it is for unless you have a part number....

If I didnt pick it up it would have ended up in the dump the next day, so im not too worried about the popo.

Is there a parts # on it that I can look up somewhere?

I was thinking something like $350 but I need to find out for sure what bike its for first.

10-03-2005, 06:49 PM
sorry, but 350 will not happen... can you tell if it is used? should have some carbon in it if it is.

Put it on ur quad:D , but i dout u will get anywhere with it, doesn't crouch rockets have like 2 or 4 of those same pipes, i don't know much bout them and dont really care, but if i had one i'd want all of them, and it is proly hurt or something, otherwise y would someone put a 350 dollar pipe in the trash, not me a punk but it's the truth, u'll be lucky to get anything out of it, i'd modify it to fit something , and then maybe sell it once u get tired of looking at it. like a pit bit or something haha

tater_kamik
10-03-2005, 07:13 PM
most rockets have 1 pipe, very few have more. can you see an part number anywhere on it??

Atkins

It says Yamaha 4XV on the endcap, but I cant find any other markings on the entire thing.

What kind of person would just put something like this out next to a dumpster??? This don't sound right to me.

i work for waste management, theres prolly nothing wrong with it, somebody just didnt want it to poke a hole in their trash bag or something. the stuff we find in the trash would blow your mind.
