Quick answer
The Yoshimura RS-2 Stainless Full Exhaust with aluminum muffler is designed for the 2006–2014 Yamaha RAPTOR 700/R, so confirm your model year and check all mounting hardware before installation. If you want a quieter, value-priced full system with a larger core, this is the one to consider.
Why the RS-2’s design matters for RAPTOR 700/R riders
The RS-2 evolved from Yoshimura’s original TRC and uses a pyramidal shape with increased volume. That larger internal volume and bigger core are why the RS-2 runs quieter than some race-focused systems while still delivering strong power and power delivery. For trail riders and weekend duners who want a full exhaust without a race-only sound profile, the RS-2 is a practical choice.
Stainless full system with aluminum muffler: what to expect
This is a full exhaust system, so it replaces the stock header and muffler rather than slipping onto the original pipe. The stainless construction and aluminum muffler keep the system durable and relatively light, but they also mean you should follow the included installation instructions for proper torque and clearance. The RS-2 is value-priced, so it’s a good option if you want Yoshimura performance without stepping up to a premium race system.
