noob question about exhausts

[andwr]

hey guys, i want my gs sounding a bit beefier. . . .( if that is a word??) but anywho i was just wondering is it the exhaust that makes the sounds beefier, or is it something else. . . if so are there any good makes that can be easily fitted to the gs and that i could do myself with not much bike knowledge?

Thanks guys
Andy

heres the first thing i came across http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=12669.0 .  If there isn't enough in there I would just use the search function, type in exhaust and you will find a gazillion posts, not all useful, but that will give you a good idea of what you can and can't do with our little GS's.

If you tight on money you can get a flange from Sinrath ( member of this board ).  and a wileyco exhaust can.  It will sound better, and should only set you back about $150.00. 

You can also take just about any slip on exhaust for any bike take it to a muffler shop and they will make mid pipe to attach the exhaust can.  ( this will be expensive ) price of new exhaust + about 175 for new mid pipe.

After added any pipe I do suggest that you do a rejet.  And if you going through the trouble of getting a pipe might as well install the K & N lunch box filter.

Hope this helps

IF U GOT A LITTLE CASH I WOULD GO WITH THE VANCE & HINES 2 INTO 1 FULL EXHAUST. DENNIS KIRK.COM HAS IT FOR $310 BUT IF YOU GO TO WWW.PARTS411.COM THEY HAVE IT FOR $256.

$175??? I don't think so... I think it should only cost $60 or so to get a midpipe made. Did a garage give you that quote?

I would put a K&N air fiter on it so that you would get more air to the engine then to the pipe.

Hey Garcia where in Chicago are you from? And do you always yell when talking to people as well? 

No offense intended
