Changed my exhaust donuts last week and found the right side y-pipe cracked. I see guys talking about $90 stainless ones from Yamaha (p/n's?). Are these an aftermarket or from Yamaha? When I look at the parts list for an 06 Apex, 8FP-14610-00-00 and $333 discount price. When I look at a newer Apex the p/n changes to 8FR-14610-00-00 and they are $178 discounted. Anyone know what the difference (titanium vs stainless) and should one hold up better that the other? I bought my sled used with 2300 miles. Put 1200 miles on it in the past month and thought it was getting progressively louder, so I was hoping it was just donuts with that kind of miles. Also are the y pipes a lot of work to change?
Thanks for the replies,
Greg
