whats the deal with these wileyco's? why does everybody like them so much? is it just because there cheap? or do they sound particularly nice on the gs? maybe some combo of the two? and are we talking low bass sorta rumble, or high pitched "sporty" sound?

well BSD the deal:everybody likes them because they sound very nice, yes the can's are cheap and srinath makes a flange that will simply fit on the GS and the cans bolt directly onto it. (blue05twin told me about the 5 min installation :lol: ) the sound is more of a grunt like you would expect from a v-twin it's a nice sound depending on what you want hope this helps.

Thx BOSS - he covered it ... just to add ... they are extremely well made ... its a bit heavy, probably twice the weight of the feather weight V&H can ... but with good reason ... V&H is paper thin aluminium ... drop it once on that side and there goes the can ... This will probably survive getting hit by a train ... just kidding ... but thick Stainless is what its base material is.
Cool.

Tonight... I will bring my laptop outside and record some samples of my '89 with the carbon fiber Wileyco.

Then I shall encode them as mp3's and make them available for people to download and use as their ringtones if they wish!

BOSS500:

I saw a blue '04 GS500F at the cycle stop just north of where we work... did your friend finally get a bike?

budget speed demon · October 25, 2005, 11:45:25 AM

that would be awsome, I'm seriously considering buying one of the carbon ones and hearing a sound clip would probably seal the deal. keeping in mind of course that sound clips never sound as good as the real thing.

Phaedrus · October 25, 2005, 12:42:20 PM

There are several sound clips of wileyco's floating around. Try doing a search for "wileyco sound clip" and search all terms. Weazelnose has some good ones. And I have short video/sound clip of mine:

Not carbon fiber, though. :dunno:

OK.. so..

YAMAHA TT600 R

and

YAMAHA YZ/WR 400

Should be the same pipe right? Both will fit?

The Buddha · October 25, 2005, 01:42:53 PM

OK see if that guy can show you a photo of the end that bolts on to the headers ... if its 3 bolt most likely no problem.
Cool.

Alrighty, so I'm fixin to buy a Wileyco can for my 05 GS500F and from what I understand, I will need a flange to mount it to the frame? Will I also need to cut the old exhaust off and weld the new one on? Or is it all bolt on/off?

Yes you need a flange that will slip on to where the headers meet. you need to cut it right after there. no need to weld it, it stays on pretty well on its own.

you can get the flange from srinath if he has some left that is.

scottpA_GS · October 25, 2005, 03:01:22 PM

OK.. I called the guy selling them on ebay.. First off he is super helpful and cool. He wasnt sure what ones on there are 3 bolt. He said that alot of them are 4. He is going to check them out and call me back either later today or tomorrow. I will post the ones he says are 3 bolt

BOSS500 · October 25, 2005, 05:23:23 PM

that's interesting

budget speed demon · October 25, 2005, 06:14:32 PM

man that sounds good.... I gotta get me one of those, I'm ass-u-meing that instaling one will still require the usuall rejetting deal.

BOSS500 · October 25, 2005, 06:50:44 PM

yes you're ass-u-meing correctly

phire · October 25, 2005, 10:45:07 PM

Well, srinath, do you have any flanges left?

If not, I can wait til next season since I'll be storing the bike away soon.

The Buddha · October 26, 2005, 08:27:50 AM

I am going to make a new lot of flanges ... Lets just say I will make 3 or 4 bolt ... I dont actually have much preference ... but I'd need a 20 order lot for 1 or the other ...
Rejet is sorta optional ... I drop weld a square plate in the flange that will cut your flow off enough to run stock jetting till you re jet ... at whihc point you can knock that plate off with a hammer ...
There were those yanashiki's that are also available in 3 and 4 bolt ... they are various colors and oval aluminum types ... 3 bolt ones were only sold in pairs - hayabusa and TL 1000 ones ... search ebay ... you can get them and split it amongst 2 of you ... If we decide to do one or the other ... it will be good for me to get my hands on one of the same ones and work that into position ... so just dont all do some random thing ... lets display some collective intelligence and get a good product in the process. I call dibs on the onlt Ti can that's in that lot. I prefer Ti cos its metal and as such while heavier than the CF, tends to stand up to the banging and shoving that accompanies the build process a lot better than CF.
Cool.
Srinath.

budget speed demon · October 26, 2005, 09:00:02 PM

I searched for those yanashiki's and didn;t find anything accept billet engraved grips "yana shiki"

The Buddha · October 27, 2005, 10:41:31 AM

It was these, but they were sold by a place in florida and were $150 if I remember. $100 for CF wileyco seems to be a deal ...
Cool.
