it's basically a tunable exhaust that is tuned by adding or removing a series of 4 inch diffuser discs

I've never seen one on a GS, but I knew a guy in college that had a Supertrapp exhaust on his Honda Hawk.  This was in around 2000 probably.  It was a pretty sweet sounding exhaust, though it is relatively unimpressive looking.  Still, he liked it as did I.  This is a real similar bike to his, though I think his was one of the 1990 or 91 models as it was red.

His was the only NT650 that I've ever seen in person.  Pretty sweet bike with the single sided swingarm.  His bike was actually one of the reasons that I bought the GS.  I liked the naked sport look.

I'm planning a "makeover" for my bike and that is definitely a posibility for an exhaust...i got the idea from a friend's '86 FJ 1200

I can't wait to see if this works and you like it.  I'll keep my eyes open for one cheap as well.  What is the inlet pipe measurement???
