So I heard about Danmoto exhausts while looking for a new can for my VFR. They don't make one for the GS but one might fight with slight modifications. They are dirt cheap ($150 shipped with the mid pipe and hardware). I've talked to someone who had on on a Honda and they said they sound incredible. They have good reviews. It appears all their cans are the same for any bike but just have different mid pipes. I plan to get one soon (for the VFR) but I'll see if I can mock fit it to my GS just for shilts and giggles. Just putting it out there...check them out.

I bought a scorpion exhaust from Buddha that I'm pretty sure was originally part of a kit made for a VFR.  I took it to an exhaust shop and they fabricated and welded on a midpipe and hooked it up in like 30 min.

The Danmoto seems to be the "pit-eck" of 2013. 4-5 years ago pit-eck was all over fleabay, that same price range and same tacky small diamater OD can etc etc ...
Pit-eck crap used to fall apart ... if you are getting a danmoto - get one with a metal wall. Ti, al or stainless, not carbon fiber. The CF and rivets come loose and sheite comes apart - atleast it used to on the Pit-eck's on SV's.

Cool.

That bugger looks good - I think that mid-pipe will let you fit it easier, however the fixed clamp is likely to make it a bit harder.

Cool.

Also delkevic seems to be intent on putting out quality mufflers for little money.

I put one on my bandit, a flange bolt-on, and it looks great, sounds great, is quality made, has great CS and warranty...
Im not sure what I don't like. Maybe that with the removable baffle in, its too quiet.

This one is in your price range, and is FOR the GS. They have lots of options too. I dont know if you are set on the VFR can look, but hey! its an option.

I'm not looking to put one on my GS. I'm looking to put on on my VFR. I was just saying it looked like the Danmoto for the VFR would fit the GS. Anyway, I've also been looking at the Delkevic's they look really nice. I think I'm still going to do with the Danmoto stainless/titanium. I know this one sounds badazz compared to the Delkevic.

Have you tried the delkevic ? Carbon fiber or metal ?
The CF ones seem to fall apart a lot easier on the cheaply made ones. The metal ones seemed to hold up OK.
I wonder if the yosh or others have better luck on CF.

I know the old wileyco we once proliferated on this site, the CF ones were a metal muffler all the way complete and the CF was a sleeve on top of that. So if you lost the CF ... it still stays as a proper muffler with nothing different.

Anyway obviously that short muffler = cheaper to make, and we ... well we dont care though a very short one may sound a little hard edged or something like that.

Cool.
Buddha.

centuryghost has a Wyleco. It was loud. OK sounding.

I do prefer quiet exhausts.

Interesting - the EX500 had a Muzzy (still trying to sell that stainless exhaust) and we replaced it with a Motad. Being from the UK, the Motad meets UK noise requirements. Hence it is quiet but throaty (I have one on Phenix).
Riding now I can actually hear the noise the engine makes. I have no idea how I could ever hear problems with the engine with the Muzzy. Loud exhausts mean you can't hear when your motor has issues or is just not running right. (The EX is running OK, by the way). For the first time I could hear some of the cracked upper fairing rattling in the wind.

Does he have a "flange" ... then likely I made it.

Cool.
Buddha.

I recall something about it being hard to get and one of the last ones made. So yes - si, ja, oui, probably yours.

QuoteI'm not looking to put one on my GS. I'm looking to put on on my VFR

derp de derp my bad, i read that totally wrong.

The "flange" manufacturing spree was just coinkdink upon coinkidink stacked up to make the perfect storm.
1. End 2004 - Dennis Krook closes out wiley co's, discounting them from their lofty $$$ of 350+ to like 150 for CF/Ti and 100 for ss. They had like 400.
2. I buy a set and decide these would be adaptable to the GS.
3. I get laid off.
4. My welder has a slow window in winter usually where he does on the road work more, and needed someone he didn't have to pay to keep the door open and "take in" work.
5. I find a laser cutting place that will cut anything and everything I draw.

Kaboom, we have flanges ... I made close to 100 ... we cleaned out denniss krook, they had 400, and in under 3-4 months they had none, we hastened that sell out by a factor of 2 I think.
If it was one of the last - if I recall the flange plate would be a rounded triangle shape, and wiley co was stainless.
If the flange was round but very thick like 1/4" or so, that was a first gen. I only made like 10-12 of those, the hole that the pipe welds to was off to 1 side ... I didn't laser cut the hole, it was blow torched. It fit gorgeously ... the can exits were so close and tight and the thing fit beautifully, but some of em leaked cos the wall on the inner side made too little contact with the flange, and the flange was too fat to move and mould to the can.
Thinner round flange with laser cut hole is second gen. Maybe made 20 of these.
Then that triangle shape probably 50-60 of those.
I had a few of those plates lying about as recently as 08. It was fitted onto any thing that had that 3 bolt pattern with that same bolt spread.

Cool.
Buddha.

Hehe i remember these days. very well. somewhat close to the time of the bars you made.

Yea ... one of those benifits of having lots and lots of time, a shop full of equipment I got to use for anything I wanted
I started bars earlier - but that period was very prolific in my GS parts business.
I also did the cheesy/tarzan boy 89 - 2004 swap. Man was that a excercise in trial and error fitting ... 100 times I fit the sucker getting it all lined up.

Cool.
Buddha.

trying to remember the swap. ohhh thread resurrection here i come

There, fixed it for ya! 

Ooooo CF wileyco. That was a full metal can with a CF sleeve if I recall. I think its possibly the only Cf can I have seen that would have made it 10 years on a bike, all the rest of em CF cans just fell apart.
I should say my favorite was the Ti, it was lighter than the rest of the wileyco's by a good bit, and seriously I thought had potential to stand up to the bomb.

Cool.
