Loud

[TarzanBoy]

To answer the earlier poster's question.

To make your bike loud, you put an aftermarket exhaust on it.  Most people like to buy them from dealers or bike stores, but you can make your own too.  

Go down to the Home Depot and get some galvanized steel piping with some 45-degree elbows in it.... and some of that black plastic accordion tubing that people use to duct their gutters with.  

Using strategically placed amounts of duck-tape and a drill with screws, attach the galvanized pipe to the exhaust outlet from the engine (it helps to remove your old exhaust pipes first).

Use the tape to secure the galv pipe to the passenger peg on the bike.  Then, use the plastic tubing to duct the exhaust outlet up onto the passenger seat and point it towards where the back of your head would be while riding.

Congrats, you now have the loudest, strongest, most straight-through exhaust system on a GS.

Take a picture of your handiwork and send copies to the local DMV and EPA offices.  If you're lucky, you'll be visited by people who want to marvel at your ingenuity and handiwork.

For the easiest exhaust options, just search WRX, ....... seriously, search it!

Thanks for the great tips guys. I don't think I am confident enough to build one from scratch though. I was told that Vance & Hines for GS500E will also fit my 05' GS500F. It that true? Also if it's true, do I need to cut it and weld it or would it just slip right on(bolt on)?

Thanks
