Title: 06'-08' GSXR Exhaust on GS500?
Post by: Danny500 on October 14, 2008, 08:12:15 PM
Been looking through ebay and such and keep finding these stock, like-new, GSXR titanium (some not) exhausts that have a simple clamp-on design.

I REALLY think the first two would fit... but I REALLY like the 3rd 08' one best...

They're SO damn cheap... has anyone put one on the GS before? I think they'd look sick, but I don't know if there would be enough clearance between pegs/guards or if the bolt would line up with the mount...

I was so glad to see them put the duals on the new 1000...now I can finally finish my 1:24 Marauder IIc.

You'd have to adjust the mounting bracket...or do away with the pillion peg all together and add a new hanger

That's the other thing, I don't mind modifying the bracket or making a hanger to come off the pillion peg, but I ride 2 up sometimes and don't want to lose the pegs.

well using the 1k can. without the central muffler, its a bit louder than stock. kida burbly. to me, hell i like it. plus wiht my weld, when i had my wreck earlier it landed on it. ( you can see it in scratches on can, and kept frame off  ground. only damage was scratches on can, and front brake lever :thumb:

Does it flow any better? I would guess the same. 500 vs 1/2 1000 exhaust?  Do you feel any restriction like stock?
