I have these, and they do, on their own, yield decent power gains up top. Your most noticeable gains will be in the high midrange - 4-7k with pipes alone.

However, coupled with a power commander and a decent map, it'll open up the XX like you wouldn't believe. And I rather like the muted howl of Yoshimura cans - not obnoxious by any means (and they're easy to repack if you put a lot of miles on 'em).

They're not cheap (new), but worth it if you like the double cans on the XX.

Well i put them on yesterday,thought it would take a couple of hrs but ended up taking 4 hrs.well worth it thought,great spread of power throughout the rev range and a fantastic noise,not too loud,just right.so i'm dead chuffed with them.
