    GS500 exhaust?

    would a GS500 exhaust from any or all years work on my 80' GS450 twin? i wanted a 2 into 1 system, but a MAC system is way out of my price range, but i can get used stock GS500 systems for about $65 plus shipping on ebay, but would it work, and would it maintain performance?, i know i would have to rig the rear mount, i just need to know if it would fit the frame and bolt to the head properly, thanks!

    Hi,

    I'm sorry I don't have any first-hand experience (so don't take my word for it), but I do remember reading that the modern 500cc GS twin is a punched out 450 motor. Chances are good that it could be made to fit with modifications. You might try asking this question over on the GS500 twin forum: http://www.gstwin.com .


    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

        No, it WILL NOT FIT

        they changed the angle the pipes come out to fit in the frame of the 500. Even though 90% of that motor is identical ith exahust wont fit.
