I'm looking to purchase a used exhaust off eBay, and I need to know what other years are compatible with my 2002 gs500e. The one I'm looking at is from a 1990.

I could be wrong but it seems to me all years would use the same exhaust.

Unless, of course, later years had O2 sensors or something...

I'm pretty sure no gs was shipped with an o2 sensor

Didn't think so.

Awesome! Thank you everyone. That's what I thought, but better safe than sorry

04 and later ones had a larger OD but same ID mid pipe with some insulating material in a double wall set up in the mid pipe.
That was it. Yea it did just about as much as you know it did.

Cool.
Buddha.

Those later ones had a catalytic converter fitted inside them, hence the differences in size..... and price!!

Not unless a bunch of wadding is a catalytic converter.

I thought  just where  I live in  California ( Los Angeles )  had the cats  in the pipe  ?          Is  there  cats  in the pipes  on say  a 2007  gs500f  in   the   United  Kingdom  ?   

Bike cats look like this......



They are fixed inside the pipes usually in the middle and were fitted to all Euro spec GS5s from 2004 (K4 models)

Cant say for certain what happened in the USA but..........

List price of a 2002 pipe courtesy of bike bandit is $780

List price of a 2004 pipe courtesy of bike bandit is $1512, almost double!..........so go figure 

Lot of money to pay for some extra wadding

    many  thanks for the  information  Sledge  .    I  was thinking  the    U.K.   exhausts  on the  2004 +   might   flow a little  better  than  the   U.S.A.   exhausts  (stock exhaust )   due  to  emission  laws  over here .  well have a great weekend  .................

looks like cardboard rolled up. . .

Yep 

The greater the surface area they have, the more effective they are
