well finally i found a replacement exhaust for my gs without having to spend much at all,
the r6 exhaust is a perfect match with a 45mm pipe i just needed to get a bracket for mounting,  perfect, cheep and a nice noice as well. have any of you other gs riders used the r6 exhaust??

no i didn't but wanted to. i ended up useing the gsxr1000 can. get us some pictures when your done.

I have an R6 exhaust in the works, It's in my uncles shop getting welded up. I'll post some pics when I get it back. The thing sounds nice, its very quiet.

wich kind of exhaust like what model and what make and when you say exhaust did you use the headers to the silencer or just the slip on and when you say braket did you cut it off and changed it of position or you used the one of your stock muffler plz help me with this i only got mine may last year and i need to modify it espacyally for the sound, sounds like a four wheeler dont like that lol

On mine, I used the midpipe and muffler. Chopped up the midpipe and welded it back together to make it fit. I think it was off an '01 R6. It fit using the stock mounting location.

the exhaust is a harpoon race can, but is not printed with "not for road use" which i think in the uk where i am makes it void for its mot, ill i have to see how that goes when i take it in, the rules seem to be a little harse compared to new zealand where im from but ill see. i think ill use the original hanger bracket with a wrap around on the can. im not to sure if ill use the link pipe as yet ill have to look at the angles, i have only chopped mine off at the base of the can and slipped it on at the moment,
it sounds nice. ill post some pics when its on

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is the R6 exhaust a better flowing system?

well what happens its not how good your flow gows cause u do need some back pressure at a certain point for your engin or else it wont be working at its max potential so to big is not good and to small is the same you got to find the happy middle and right now all were trying to do is change the sound of the bike like it wont really change the performance that much unless you had a front to back exhaust basics here is that yes the pipe is probably a little bigger but with a pipe flange you might have a little bit less problems

There IS such a thing as too much flow. The engine requires  some back pressure to operate properly.  Too much flow is bad, and too little flow restricts performance if you have opened up the intake side.  Right now they are trying to change the sound, without a change in flow.  The pipe is a bit larger and may flow more, but they will try to avoid any problems by restricting the flow into the muffler with a flange.
