scorpion exhaust can

[ginoe]

got my hands on a scorpion can from a kawi zx7

had to dremel the flange bolt holes to fit the scorpion since they're probably designed for the wileyco (take a good look at the flange bolt holes) - i also dremeled off the 'restrictor' (not pictured) and painted the flange with black hi-heat

got a trackday this saturday so i won't peform any surgery until sunday - i'll post pics when i finish the job

I like the rolled edge on the exhaust tip.  A guy I know has a set of Scorpion pipes on his VStrom 1000.  They sound pretty good on it.

Awesome. Look forward to picks and sound clips

sweet, cant wait to hear it

Is the flange tube's diameter the same as the GS's?

[The Buddha]

The flange will slide over the old GS's header ...
Cool.

spent sunday morning working on removing the stock exhaust and replacing it with the flange and scorpion can i got from a kawasaki zx7. removed the stock exhaust and cut it with a sawzall just before the last weld where it leads into the exhaust canister. the stock can is much heavier then the scorpion, i should have weighed it to see how much weight i lost.



i took a mock-up picture of how the new exhaust would look like. since it's not a wileyco (it's a scorpion) the outcome looked a bit radical to me vs. the stock form.



all said and done, it was easy to slip the flange onto the stock exhaust but it did take a bit of work to get the scorpion can mounted on the rear passenger peg. i used the spacer provided by the exhaust can strap (plus i did not want rich to be the only one in the 'spacer' club   ).





i don't care if you hurt my feelings, tell me what you think of my custom mod...



here is a sample vid of how it sounds - i just put the finishing touches on the exhaust mod and i'm taking a ride down the road...(yes, you can hear the rooster crowing as i leave my driveway & the sqealing you hear is my rear brake).

Looks great ... that little spacer ... big deal ... BTW that can is nearly identical to wileyco ... size and length etc ...
Cool.

sounds good and looks good too.

[Phaedrus]

I like it! I dare say it sounds sportier than the wileyco, atleast with my setup. My ears think the wileyco has a nicer, deeper rumble but the scorpion sounds sportier and higher pitched. I like it a lot.

...and as for the spacer -->  

Looks good and sounds even better Ginoe!

i was kinda reluctant when i got the scorpion since it was designed for a zx7 - 748cc inline-4, 16 valves,  100+hp (unlike the gs - 486cc inline-2, 8 valves, 47hp). though i'm glad i got it.

rich - you had your centerstand taken care of

BUT...what did everyone else do?

i temporarily duct taped a plastic soda bottle top to the center stand where it makes contact with the dogbone. it gives about an inch clearance so the centerstand does not make contact with the drive chain.

do tell...

I put this foam rubber stuff that is designed to go on the bottom of chairs on the center stand.  I put about an inch of the stuff on there with zip ties.  Seems to be working ok.

My V&H that i just put on sounds similar. Just a BIT different.

Yeah, the Wileyco can I have was designed for a GSX-R 750, but I love the sound of it on my lil GS
