I notice I don't have a "slip-on" style exhaust can...
so I guess I will need to hacksaw off the stock can to put an aftermarket slip-on style.
is this right? are there any how-tos? Where exactly is the best place to cut?
Can you guys point me in the right direction for an awesome sounding, and awesome looking can? I know there is no performance increase if the stock headers aren't replaced. I'm not looking for more power anyway.
While I have the exhaust off, I'm going to try and paint it too. I'll try to get all the rust off of it, and spray it down with some 1200* paint, or some header paint... we'll see...
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
Here is a page with a lot of the exhausts that people like to use http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Upgrades/Exhaust (http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Upgrades/Exhaust)
There are other cans you can use, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I think you can use just about any can you want.
As for cutting it depends on what exhaust you get, but here is a pic, http://www.gstwins.com/photogallery/displayimage.php?album=2&pos=95 (http://www.gstwins.com/photogallery/displayimage.php?album=2&pos=95) cut here or further back if you need to. You'll probably wan to have them welded together. I just sanded and painted my exhaust a few days ago, talk about a dirty job. I'll get some pics up here for you so you can see how it turned out.
ah that's great! Thanks so much for that info!
