Title: Anyone tried this.....
Post by: jnande4176 on March 20, 2006, 07:27:03 PM
Hey,

just wondering if anyone has tried fitting a Leo Vince SBK exhaust on their GS500. If so, how does it sound? Here is a link to a video on video.google.com : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=206601843419407822&q=cbr This thing sounds fricking awesome IMO.

That "machine gun" sound is improper jetting and combustion of unburned gas in the exhaust track.

How can you compare though? That's a 900cc inline four, and you have a 500cc (okay, technically 487cc, but still) twin.

Misread. My bad. Even still. 599cc inline four to a 487cc paralell twin. Those two will sound NOTHING alike.

Yes, I realize that the engine sizes, configurations, etc. will cause them to sound drastically different. I was just wondering if anyone tried to put this exhaust on their GS500 cause I am curious at to how it would sound.
