It will work, my gs has a D & D can froma zx11.  If you can weld it'll be easy, get the proper exhaust pipe reducer at murrays or auto zone etc and weld away.  The alternative is to flip some guy at a muffler shop $10 to weld it up for you.  then clean up the welds and paint it.  treat it like any other slip on.

Hey I just bought the GSXR carbon ones... They should be fittable... However I dont like flanged fittings... this is my first try with that... I guess we should figure it out after we get it... so I guess you can buy it,or get someone to split the carbon ones and divide that up...whatever...should be workable.
Cool.

everything you need should be available at any auto parts store.  the flanged ones should be easier.  just get the correct size flat end, cut the flat spots to size, drill your own holes, gasket and weld.  The welding work on your bars is 10x more difficult. hanging an exhaust isn't as much of an exact science.

OK ...but what is a flat end??
I was going to take a plate and match holes to it, then drill the middle to the diamater as the GS head pipe and weld that plate onthe headers. Then bolt the can to it. So what is the flat end procedure...
Cool.

OK I was calling them triangle exhaust flanges in my mind. Some exhausts on these bikes have a 4 bolt flange... but the 3's I think are what the ones I bought come with. BTW there is a pair of GSXRones for 120... and they are carbon. Scratch and dent... and more scratch and more dent than the $150ones... but $60 a can... hard to beat that. BTW how is wile co muffler quality??? good, cheap, OK... anyone.
Cool.

OK that is 2 carbon fiber mufflers... OK OK scratch and dent ... minor hopefully ... for $120 and 16 S&H from Dennis Crook... and no bidding war... buy it now...
So anyone that asks stoopid exhaust questions about where to get what... from now on is going to get a slap...
I bought the better sounding description $120 set and a $150 set... and yes I an going to sleep with them as my wife said ...
Cool.
