Title: What year GSX-R muffler is MOST compatible for an upgrade?
Post by: mhuffman on October 22, 2008, 01:36:14 PM
hi all, like the sounds of the yoshi and the jardine, but they're too expensive.

ive found that the gsxr 600/750/1000 mufflers are "all the same", and that they can be attached by welding a 3/4bolt flange on the end of the stock pipe and using the factory hanger.

What year GSXR mufflers are the BEST for this swap?
Also, does anyone sell the flanges or will i need to fab my own?

Thanks.

I used to make em ... but now I dont have numbers for it ... I need ~10-20 orders to get int these types of stuff.
Anyway ... make your own ... and yea the rest of the idea is pretty sound.
Cool.

I could give you a template for making a 4 bolt flange if you want to make your own up.

I have it saved as a pdf, I just to find where it is.

From memory mine is a 2000, 2002 can, I did move the mount on the hanger to the front from the rear. I have a set of SV650 rear pegs/ mounts on it now.

I used Leo Vince bolt on for 04-05 GSXR600/750. 4 bolt pattern. Flange was hand made from 5mm steel.
I had to cut the midpipe after the collector and rotate it a little to gain some brake clearance.
cheers

this local crazy rider spent an arm and a leg on ONE suzuki yoshi bolt on for his dual exhauset honda  :cookoo:

i gave him 30bucks.   

found some duder on fleaBAY selling a GSXR header pipe that matched my can
made a deal "if i win will you cut that sucker off at the end and send me just the piece i need?"
answer:  i will chop that thing up into 20 pieces in 20 Boxes if thats how you want it
cost me about 30 bucks to win it and ship it

found some old anit-hog rider that owns a repair shop had em do All the work for 100 bucks and gave me 20 bucks for my stock can = 80bucks

all in all 140 bones and it sounds mean as hell......
looks pretty good and my stock can ended up on a 95 or so GS  :thumb:

Good luck with your adventure shop smart and be patient

Any can, Any bike, Find a good welder!!!!
