Graves Motorsports LINK Cat Eliminator Titanium Exhaust System for the 2009-2013 Yamaha R1 with carbon fiber canisters. GMS LINK Exhaust systems are designed for the elite rider seeking top of the line performance, fit, finish and value. This R1 exhaust system was developed using the same technology that has powered Monster Energy Graves Yamaha rider Josh Hayes to 3 consecutive AMA Superbike championships.
This combined kit features two parts of the LINK exhaust system options for your R1 including the slip-on and cat eliminating Y pipe. Specifically built with the riders' needs in mind this setup allow you to start with the combination that makes the most sense for you as a rider and your budget (along with conforming to regulations for your type of riding). You can purchase the header seperately at any time to complete your LINK performance package.

Good looks and sound
Adds some growl to the exhaust. Very light Y pipe. Kit did not contain a bracket to re-use stock shields over y pipe on brake side. Not a problem because the titanium pipe looks better than plastic, and adds to some weight savings. Also did the Graves Smog block off plates and K&N air filter at the same time. It has plenty of flow now.......... Next will be an FTecu flash kit to squeeze everything out of this machine, then the quick shift! Very slight misaligned left side can. It bolts up easy enough but not an exact symmetrical mirror image of the other side's can. Very slight but being a CAD designer myself, noticeable. Probably wouldn't see it if not pointed out. Happy happy happy with this exhaust!!!!

Sick Pipes...
Just got a link set myself. I got the cat eliminator and the cans sans headers to save a few bucks etc. Most of the weight savings are in the cans and the cat delete y pipe, so I figured the 3/4 set up is the best bang for my buck. I also got the Graves 50 mm handlebars as well to go with the new Renthal grips and Graves machined throttle tube assembly. You will have to grind out the factory throttle stops inside the throttle tube reel housing to allow the use of the Graves throttle tube. Like many race parts, they will not come with directions, so I am just giving you all a heads up if you do decide to use the Graves throttle tube for your R1. STG has been a great business to provide my clientele to for one of many of my bike needs etc. Stay sharp and keep riding.
