With some cutting and fitting you can use the can... not the head pipe unless you have 2 GS motors in there  :icon_mrgreen:

yeah, they r going to have to bend a pipe to connect to your stock header.  the guy that does my exhaust work only charged me 20 bucks, and he even smoothed the welds down too
