HI i was just wondering if anyone here has used Jardines for the 04-06 gs500f? http://www.exoticsportbike.com is the site were i found it any info will help.
I've never heard of them. I would rather use vance and hine. their exhaust is 20.00 or so cheaper and you know its of good quality. that site doesnt even show you what the exhaust will look like...
Jardine are a ood brand, but I think only one person I know on this site has used them.
Try doing a search :thumb:
If you can get a jardine for your bike, do it...their exhausts sound great :thumb:
i will buy and test and post pics :cheers: :cheers
jardine headers have been around for ever.
Full exhaust race system for 04-06 GS500F is $339.99 by jardine at exoticsportbike.com/gs500f_(04-06).htm
no way. shaZam! i might by this if its true. calling alpha and dave u guys ever heard of this?

Hi Nick. I have no idea.
See ya!
Dave :cheers:
I have ordered the jardine exhaust. I will post in 5-10 days when it comes in and is installed.
No images - but here is some additional info.
"This product was added to our catalog on Thursday 02 March, 2006."
http://jardine.rideshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1741
I had a NOS Jardine full system on my '01GS (as they stopped making them around '94), and I really liked the look, sound, and performance. The finish did not last long, and I had to repaint the header amd mid-pipe, but overall I was very satisified.
so bro u get the exhaust yet?
Not in yet. been 5 days only 5 more to go.

Yeah I am waiting for this too. There are a few things I noticed which is why I'm not just ordering one right now....
1) Even Jardine's own catalog doesn't have listed a full exhaust for '04+ models. So then how did Exotic Sports Bike get one?
2) Exotic Sportbike has a BBB complaint in January for misrepresenting their sales products. BBB followed up with them, but they could not be reached due to "returned mail and phone disconnected". You can read it yourself here: http://www.concord.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=92011236
3) I called Exotic Sportbike myself to ask about the exhaust, and if what they sell is a self modified version, but there was no answer, no automated message, and no answering service.
All of that seems sort of fishy to me, but despite it they might still be legit. I wouldn't want to be the guniea pig, but since someones already got one on order, I'm interested in seeing how it turns out.
hey if jardine says it exist then y not

If you search their site, you can find it. It is not listed in the normal product section, and there is 0 dollar value. It looks like a place holder, but it does exist on their site.
ya but he says he found it their

No, he said he found it on ExoticSportbikes.com
I did find it on both exoticsportbike and jardine's sights here is link to jardine http://jardine.rideshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1741
still waiting though
yo u get it man or was this a fake?
nick is having trouble keeping his pants on over this exhaust
sometimes i have the same problem, just not over exhaust systems giggidy giggidy
hey guys ! you sorry to tell you that gsjohn.....but i think you got screwed tho you wer suposed to get it when the 10 or 11 were now the 19 so i think you got screwed
So did this turn out to be a dud, does anyone know? I'd be interested in one myself if I could find one.
na they make it trust me i called them, it comes out at the end of the month
so does that mean that the one that's bid ordered is not the correct one??
no its the right one, they just dont have them in stock yet.
Ok, I talked to exotic sport bike and got the order number for Jardine. Called Jardine they said they were making and tweaking the pipe should ship out by 6/3. Of course they could have sent me a email telling me this two weeks ago. Jardine does not stock it yet. But they do make.
So i have a 92 gs500.
If I were to replace the exhaust with something better sounding, better performance... can i get one of those things called a "slip-on" ?
One mechanic told me that I probably have to get a new pipe all the way to the engine, is that a regular thing to do?
hell i cant wait, this would be better than the vince&hanes(spell)

Slip ons typically will not net you much power. Roughly 1 or 2, maybe. They are for looks and sound, for the most part. Cheaper than a full exhaust system. Full systems (from the engine to the muffler) can be put on too. They give a bit better performance increases, but also require rejetting. It is a fairly common thing to do.
one day left!!!!!!!!!
Quote from: nick_villanone day left!!!!1!!!
er, yea.. till it ships. Not till it gets there and we all find out if it is real or cardboard. ;)
cant wait to see how it sounds !!!! hopefully really good
Brrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggg!!!!
Times up.
Where is it!
Jeez, I thought some one would have it installed, a write up done with picture and a sound file by now.
Disappointing by GStwin standards :cry:
hey hey hey
Its still the 2nd over here.
I have pictures on my website of my buddy's bike, which used to be aplitz's.
Jardine sounded just fine. Fairly loud, but quick response, and good tone at WOT. I'd buy one before V&H ever saw my money.
I wonder if Jardine was a bit better about design so that one can change their oil filter without removing the entire freaking exhaust. Stupid V&H... I wouldn't have bought V&H if my bike had a stock exhaust when I bought it... I had Jardine headers in my last car, I loved em. Good stuff. A cute chick works behind the counter at Jardine HQ, too :icon_lol:
well is soposed to be loud, its a racing exhaust

so did you get it yet ???
yeah dude im like a time bomb waiting to buy this thing. hey out of curiosity when i buy this exahust should i buy the jet kit 1 to rejet?
ps. i decided to let the dealer hadle the exhaust change
don't buy a jet kit. Buy individual needles from sudco.com... $12 or so, versus $30+

They were, I changed the oil on said 01 with Jardine full system with no problems. Once I decide if I am keeping the GS, I'm going to either sell it, or buy a Jardine and take it to an exhaust shop and have them turn it into a high mount for me.
pipecity.com is a dead link.
Technically, you are right with the "racing exhaust" comment, but honestly, would they have put as big of a can on it if it was an all-out race application? I think not, and they know 99/100 of the exhausts they sell will be on road-going bikes.
i called, the prototype will not be donw till the end of june. sorry guys its just going to be a waiting game
