Hi. I am looking at getting a full stainless steel exhaust. Mainly to reduce maintenance more than anything  :) I can't seem to see the exhaust wiki page for gs500 for some reason so if I ask questions that can be answered there sorry.

First choice might be the Laser Deeptone. I live in Australia. I am having trouble finding one worldwide besides the Laser site and what would be a very overpriced one on ebay. Does anyone know if the headers need to be removed for oil and/or oil filter changes?

Motard might be the second choice same oil questions(great video adidasguy)

Is the Jardine system full Stainless Steel? might be the most common last choice.

Thanks for your opinions in advance

jardine makes them.
So does Motad.
Phenix has a Motad. Same will go on the Husky bike and the EX-500.
I've had Jardine. Nice. jacob bought one from me just a few days before his bike got hit.

No and no.
Some will rejet for jardine.
Motad is equivalent to stock.

Depending on who you ask the Jardine is the best sounding (very deep but also very loud). For someone who likes a little more grunt but doesn't want to wake up their neighbors than the others are probably a better choice.

Wouldn't trade my Jardine for anything though, puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. Every time I tell people it's a little 500, they can't believe it.

And yes it's all stainless and no you don't have to remove it for oil changes. I think just the yoshi (full system that they don't make anymore) needed removal.

yes rejetted because of exhaust and lunchbox. dont need to take it off i just use a little piece of cardboard to funnel the oil so it doesnt get on the pipes and smoke. and also love the sound.

Looks like I will be going Motad. 10 year warranty and they are the only ones that have responded to my email questions. Thanks for help everyone.
