As a 97 GS owner, what full exhaust options do I have for myself? What are the estimated prices for each? What kind of performance increases am I looking at?

Also, what other small performance add-ons can be done to my GS with relatively little work? Thanx a bunch.

Search!

You will see Vance & Hines as the most common.

akrapovic has an exhaust for the gs now.  It cost more than I am willing to pay for a gs used.

no they dont. I contacted the company myself. They said they do not nor do they intend to make on for the GS. where did you see a price?

it was discussed before...and no...akrapovic does not make one for GS...and even if they did...no one will ever buy it...

Id buy it if they had one.

starcycle.com lists the akrapovic exhausts for the new GS500f....

04 GS500F   AK-4016    SLIP-ON CARBON    $CALL
04 GS500F   AK-4017    SLIP-ON TI              $CALL
 
check it out for yourself....I've seen it other places too....but I haven't seen I price for it yet....

I know they list it, alot of sites do. but they infact DO NOT make it. I contacted akrapovic front their website. Here is what he wrote.

"Dear Sir,

As you have already found out, we do not produce an exhaust system for this bike. Probably the exhaust system fits the 600 GSF but that is something we can not confirm.
Unfortunately, the exhaust system for this bike is not in the plan for near future.

Best regards,

Ales Hrovatin"





There you have it.

....that being said, I wouldn't buy from a company that doesn't know what they make....

....you know what I mean?  It's just stupid to create a part # for an item that does not / has not ever existed.  It just doesn't produce a lot of confidence in their organization....

...I'm not knocking their pipes...I know they're nice....but sometimes you just gotta call a spade, a spade.....

OMG buddy, in a company not knowing what they make. THEY DONT make them!!  :x

Just like to point out, JARDINE makes a FULL exhaust SPECIFICALLY For the GS500. Just do a quick search on the net. My 01 has a full jardine on it, sounds excellent. Would be up for sale soon, but my buddy has dibbs on it already. But yea, cheack out Jardine, excellent exhaust at a great price.

Gimme a link if you would. Cant find anything.

That's ok....I know how to get one should I ever want one...but hey, as the old proverb goes...

"you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"  :dunno:  

did you even go to the starcycle.com site and look (like I've mentioned in my last 2 posts in this thread?

Someone posted that Jardine for GS was just re badged V&H ... Who was it anyone remembers and is it true

I love it.

:lol:

Keep it coming.  I'm smiling from ear to ear.

Hey srinath,

If i had heard the tone of the V&H I would be able to tell you. I havent heard anything else regarding just a re-badging, but its something to look into. It sounds excellent on my bike with pods and jets w/ advancer. But I only have my buddy's stock drilled exhaust to compare it to. Let me know what you turn up on this if you can.
