I am well on my way to making my first mod to my GS. After posting so questions, doing so reading, lots of Youtube watching I think the exhaust can is where I want to start.
My question is:
- Do any of you have a Scorpion exhaust can on your bike?
How do you like it?
Did you have to rejet your carbs?
Was it worth the $$$ or should I just get a Yoshimura TRS like everyone else?
I really like the looks of the titanium finish but I can't find any sound clip to hear how it would so on a GS
I had a Yoshi TRS SS (stainless) can and I've since removed it, I got mine on ebay for 280 bucks. Dont get a can, get this instead.

How does it sound and did you have to rejet
I dont have the jardine...I actually wish thats the route I had of went. There are tonnes of yoshi videos you can hear. I have a few I can send you if you want when I had mine, the video files are just quite large. and when I had the can, yes I had to rejet. I had it all done at a bike shop.
What are you running on your bike if you took the Yoshimura off?
Yeah I found tons of sound bite on Youtube, they sound super!!!!!!
The stock can is back on.

Pipecity has the Jardine system slightly cheaper and offers free shipping: http://www.pipecity.com/Search/CategorySearch.cfm/_1/Street/_2/Suzuki/ManuID/14/_3/GS500

This is one of the better videos I have come across demonstrating the sound. I find sometimes people either post a 5 second sound clip...or dont rev the bike?? Which doesnt tell you much...anyway, this will give you a good idea of the sound (if you havent seent this clip already, you likely have tho)

I have the Jardine RT-One system, it sounds pretty decent after 4.5k RPM
Anything before that, sounds kinda like a four wheeler (personal opinion!)
But with ANY aftermarket exhaust, you should rejet.
