Jardine RT1 full exhaust for 04-08 GS500 ( will also fit on 89-03)

[ineedspeed]

I have a brand new, in the box and still wrapped Jardine RT1 stainless steel exhaust, asking $300 OBO for it. I figured I would try to post here before it goes off to Ebay. It was meant for my GS500 project but I have decided to sell the bike instead and put the money towards some possible track time. No pictures of it out of the box because I have never taken it out, I only opened the box to make sure the exhaust was in there.





I also prefer to sell it to someone local since I'm sure shipping would be pricey on such a big box, I'm in Los Angeles, 90061 zip code.

I wanted to bump this since I posted pictures.

How does it compare to a V&H for noise? My '92 is noisy but I have no idea what exhaust is on it since it was painted flat black. So I thought the best thing to do was be nice to the bike and give it a new exhaust.

I have a complete V&H that just came in. I'd go for yours if I can get some opinions regarding noise. I prefer a quieter bike. UPS ground shipping to Seattle wouldn't be very much. I can even issue a call tag and have them pick it up.

So could someone give an opinion regarding how loud a Jardine is compared to a V&H? I'm new at fixing up a bike and have not changed exhausts before or checked much into the differences in them.

The tank, tail, belly pan and headlight fairing will all be brand new factory originals so the exhause should be new, even though not factory. My plan is to put on the exhaust. Have the local dealer do a complete tune up, put on new tires. Then when I get it back home put on all the new stuff & bling.

The honest truth is that I have not heard this exhaust in person nor any GS500's with aftermarket exhaust. I took a leap of faith after listening to Youtube videos and purchased it because I liked how it sounded in the videos. Here is a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ml24Denyzc&feature=related of course videos dont ever truly sound exactly like the real thing but they were my only reference.
