been their read that. No one answered my first question. I already know any can will fit my bike with modification. I was aking what other bikes have the same pipe size as my GS and what cans will fit with the least modification. Next time read a little bit more and not just the damn title.

Short answer... you're going to have to do some modding with any slip not made for a GS500.  Problem is that damn angle from the front of the stock can.  Best bet is to find yourself a can on Ebay or something, any can will work... go to Monroe or some other muffler place and have them bend a new link pipe and clamp it on.

There is nothing that fits the GS directly or closely.The only way to get that is to buy something made for the GS.

05-07 bikes have a larger midpipe diameter, and perhaps the 04 does as well.  If so, the "mod-free" options will be different (and probably better) than with the earlier GS models. 
'92 GS500.  Sold.
'01 GS500.  Sold.  SM2s.  Progressives (15W).  Woodcraft Rearsets.  K&N Lunchbox.  Yoshi TRS slip-on.  CRG bar-end mirrors.  Pirelli Sport Demons.  Billet Fork Brace.
'07 Monster 695.
