Makenzie71 is the username, though I'm not sure if he's still making them

Hmmmm.....come to think of it, I haven't seen Mak around lately............

[bombadillo]

he just sent me an email a few days ago regarding these and said he still is, and that there is no choice in the stainless steel, brushed aluminum, or carbon fiber though.  You get what you get.

what does that mean you get what you get?

[Mk1inCali]

You get whatever he's got on hand at the moment.

These are built by hand by him in his own personal shop.

Those look pretty nice.
Of course, if you get what you get, you may get what you don't want. 
Anywhoo, wonder what they sound like.
Carbon Fiber looks pretty though.

Well, I'm pretty sure they're straight through pipes, so:
Eat 6lbs of authentic mexican food and down a 12pk of corona.  Later on in the night when you have the worst gas ever.........it sounds like that, only continuous

Kinda looks like one of those import mufflers from Pep Boys dont you think?

Then it probably sounds what mine sounds like now which is pretty annoying after a while.
I think my next "upgrade" will be some type of exhaust.

Let us know then what is your exhaust! We will have a chance to avoid it...

I asked him in another thread, and he told me that you don't have a choice in the material of the exhaust cover.  Its either going to be one of three things, carbon, stainless, or aluminum.  You get what he gets the best deal on and have no say in the look.  I think that this is about the cheapest route to take for exhaust if you can deal with not having your bike for a while, but I really only wanted the carbon.

They are like 40 on ebay



A while back I challenged MAK as to where he was getting these and how cheap they are.. he said his are better than the ones on eBay... Maybee soo but you can get them (look the same as his) for $40-50 shipped

Honestly I think that they would all sound like crap and arent really that cool but... Its your GS

I hope that mak's as cool as the chef there to be that way.  I think that they look like a better quality unit than the stupid fart cans that come off of ebay though.  Those are solely car pipes and they sound like an angry pack of bumble bees.  Probably worse on a bike than a 1.5 liter honda.

[Absolute Rescue]

Hey Mak if you read this i have a stock 05 can if you want it, shipping only, that way if you get an order you have one ready to send out in trade for another stock can. PM me if you are interested.

[makenzie71]

I'll keep that in mind, rescue.

I do not offer the same exhaust any longer.  The original high-mount was built around what people requested and then no one was interested.  Scott...I have used those cans (the three colored ones) before on GS500's, EX500's, and even my TL1000S.  A single one one either of the 500's or a pair of them on a TL sounds quite nice.  Loud, but quite nice.

Here's a clip of the TL: http://www.photoartclub.net/tl3/cfslips1.mpg



Basically straight pipes with a little packing.  I alaways kick myself for having changed exhausts on the TL before ever having taken pics of a nice, completed product.  Those are all rough and the bike is filthy...

I never got a clip of the GS setup, but Cuda wanted something a bit tamer in the noise department so I put together another can for him:



I wish i had more shots of that one, though.

The only offering now is to rebuild your stock exhaust.  I gut the can and install a straight core and good matting.  Then i resleeve the can with either stainless steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber...whatever i can get for the cheapest cost.  I try to do carbon fiber whenever I can because it's typically cheaper and people think it looks sexy.

Oh yeah...I'm still alive.

[frankieG]

do you know where i can get a CF sleeve to install myself?

[bombadillo]

mak, good to know you're still around doing this.  If possible, when money and weather permit, I'll send the old exhaust your way and have you do this mod for me.   

[makenzie71]

Through me haha.  I have a few local places to hit up for synths.  Go out and measure the can and come back.  I left me notes back in Gruver.
