Title: Will a GS500E aftermarket exhaust system fit on a GS500F?
Post by: will123 on April 26, 2006, 02:49:39 PM
I just bought an 05 GS500F and can't find a pipe for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It depends. You should clarify what you mean by "pipe". Do you mean a slip on? Full system? Stock exhaust system?

I should clarify for Nick.

For the full system, the Yoshimura will not work without some serious modification. I've tried this one personally. The Vance and Hines is "said" to work by one guy, but he never posted pictures of the headers clearing the oil pan and bolts on the bottom of the engine. So, unless you get the Laser full system ($480), then there aren't any full systems made for the F model, and the ones made for the E model won't work.

For the slip-ons, since they are home-made anyways, they will still work for the F model.

The easiest solution is to get a slip on or a bolt on can made for a different bike and then go to an exhaust shop and get it custom fitted on. Should run about $40 to $60. Or you can wait for srinath to make flanges and buy one off him and use that with a 3-bolt pattern bolt on can.
