So what am I going to need to install it? Any idea on what is going to be needed as far as jets go? Yea I decided I better pick it up after seeing one for sale for $300 and the oem one is $975.

If you're thinking along those lines, I have 8-10 exhaust cans off various things. TL, SV, this or that ... hayabusa, GSXR etc etc etc ... 50 bucks a pop - any of them - yours.
No flange though ... so SOL.
Just cos somehting is cheap relative to others of its ilk is no reason to buy it. OEM costs are designed to get the bike totalled when these things get damage, and if you dont total and replace it they make out like bandits.
GS exhaust lists for 1200 buck too, you'd be hard pressed to give one away.
Cool.

To install it you'll need a muffler shop. You'll probably end up paying them to hack the stock can off your existing exhaust and then welding in some new tubing to make the exhaust fit. As far as jetting goes, Buddha will probably come up with something, but you might have to do some fine tuning if no one else has used this particular exhaust before...

I'll take one, I'll even pay for it  :)

The Buddha

Yes I'll sell a nice one for ~1000 ... that is 20% off the list price.
Dude I am a exhaust or 2 short maybe. I have 4-5 bikes and 3-4 exhausts.
Anywya good luck wiht that.
Cool.

Dohabee if this works... The Mighty Buddah has me second guessing myself... I can sell you my stock muffler.

go to local wreckers.....get a smashed up head pipe for a gsxr that has same flange as your muffy....01-04 ish
take smashed pipe
muffy
and bike to a muffler shop
and ask nicely to install this pipe on this bike, here's a flange if you need it

the junkyard idea is good.If there isnt one in your area I made my own flange for pretty cheap out of some 1/4 steel and basic tools. I just traced the gasket, drilled the bolt holes, used a hole saw and plenty of cutting fluid to match the OD of the stock pipe ( i also offset it a little for clearance), then used a jig saw and grinder to clean up the outer shape. Took a little longer than if I had proper tools but I was able to do it on the porch of my apt in less than an hour.
