So I want to buy this exhaust badly I'm just not sure if it's worth the money... (I found it for $206-$260)
I've heard some SVs (I know it's V twin so it's bit different) with Leo Vince SBK slip-on and I think it sounds great on them. It's so much meatier and bad ass  :icon_twisted: than stock muffler.
I currently have stock pipe from GSXR 600 installed on my bike (bolt-on) so installing leo vince will be a snap.
What do you guys think? Should I spend the money and invest in Leo Vince? Or maybe you have other, better recomendations?
Waiting for your opinions

got a link?
Yes I do have a link.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Leo-Vince-Bolt-On-Aluminum-Suzuki-GSX-R-1000-01-04_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35596QQihZ008QQitemZ180091979895QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V
It is exactly the same as this one. Although this one is advertised for GSXR 1000 it's still the same model I believe.
W8ting for info

actually I am not crazy about the jardine's look. I don't like shiny mufflers too much... The sound is OK but I think Leo would sound good either + the installation would be extremely easy :D + the stock headers are quite good on 04+ models so I dont want to spend extra $150 to replace them.
Thanks for your opinions anyways
Any other ideas are still welcome

i got mine of ebay for £220 delivered, quite a saving. I will try and get a clip uploaded as well as some pics. Currently riding around without baffle and it honestly shocked me how good this can makes my gs sound! I will try and upload some stuff tonight.

Yesterday I bought brand new LEO VINCE SBK for 2001-2005 GSXR 600. It's bolt on and I hope installation will take me 5 minutes or less. I got it on ebay for $200. Not cheap but not expensive either. I hope it will arrive this week, if it does I'll post some picture and hopefully some sort of a sound file for those of you who may be interested in it's sound. I hope it will be nearly as good as on SV650. I'm just wondering if I'll have to tweak my jetting if so I'll have to get rid of that DJ crap and start from scratch... (I am currently using the largest main jet from DJ kit)

I promise I will post those pics and sound for you!! my girlfriend is starting to moan that it is too loud!! ha ha

I just got mine today. Installed it and I was speechless for a while.... it is AMAZING!!!! it looks great because it's bigger than stock GS500 pipe but smaller than stock GSXR600 pipe, so the size is just RIGHT!
about the sound:.... let me just say.... WOW.... what an freakin' improvement... I've never thought that GS500 can sound that good!! the sound is very deep and throaty plus it's not coming from engine anymore!! it is open exhaust so it gives you maximum flow, no removable baffle so you can't make it quieter though. but I don't mind, I wanted to make it loud and deep sounding and that's what I got!!!
I didn't have time today to take any pictures but I promise I will take some tomorrow or on Sunday and post them here.
The only thing I have to do is cut my midpipe and change the angle a little bit - twist it a little - it is oval pipe so it must be done very precisely cause now it looks kinda odd..
I'm so happy - this is the best mod I have already done to the bike!! Plus really good bang for the buck since I only paid $215 for brand new can (shipped)

OK here are some pictures I took today. Please excuse for dirty bike. Pictures were taken before I washed it :)









Let me know what you think.   :thumb:
I will post more pictures as soon as I change the angle of the pipe.

Kml.krk, nice bike ... the pipe looks great as do the flush-mounts. Feel free to post a sound clip if you have one :)

You call that dirty!?!? :)

I don't have sound clip yet, but I will make one. I just have to figure out a good way of doing it. I have two microphones but they are cheap quality microphones mostly used for LAN games.  Anyways I'll try to do my best and post a sound file.
Thanks very much for your opinion!
