Struggling to find a performance exhaust GS1000E

[NitroGS]

Hi Guys
I am struggling to find a good performance exhaust for my GS1000E (1979) there seems to me to be very little choice out there. I am based in the uk. I have seen the Vance Hines available in the US and the awful looking Motad. Surely there are more choices out there, does anybody know of any?:-|

I have a Vance and Hines chrome on my 850 (which they also have for GS1000's)which you see in a lot of photo's on this site, it's a nice sounding exhaust definately louder than stock, looks good and the chrome holds up well, and I have a Jardine 4 into 1 on my GS1000E (78) that is a black painted header with a chrome oval muffler,and it has a deep quieter sound than theV&H and center stand use is restricted even though it says you can use it(not without putting a dent into the pipe) these are the only 2 quality systems I could find although on this site I have seen pics of bikes with GSXR like systems installed with a large upswept canister installed.

Have you tried Katana ones as they should bolt up with very little effort. My 1000s bolts on to a Kat with just a braket change around the exhaust.

Jardine 4 into 1

I have a Jardine 4 into 1 on my '82 Katana 1000. It's got a slip on and black pipes, which would look good with color, chrome black combo you have going on. ~Gene

Any idea where I can purchase a Jardine system, or look at one my friend

Here is a pic of a GSXR based Yosh Duplex on my bike.

Pics of Jardine Exhaust

If you follow the link below it will take you to my previous post with pics of the Jardine exhaust on my Katana. I bought it through Star Cycle in California for $361.00 I believe. I don't have the part number; however, I would be happy to send you a link to their website and I'm sure if I called them they could look up my order and pull the part number. I only say that because you'll never find it on Jardine's website. I had to call them to make sure that they still made one. ~Gene

Hey Billy,
What, if anything has to happen with those cylindrical things on the inside of the head-pipes?

Exhaust for GS1000

I just read your post on aftermarket exhausts for GS1000's. What I did was I bought a used 4 in 1 header for mine on E-Bay just to used the front section. I then bought a used chrome canister from a bike salvage yard and fabricated an aluminum bracket for the canister. The bracket is one piece and bolts behind the rear footpeg. I have a friend that owns a muffler shop that fabricated the pipe to connect the two pieces together. It came out very nice and sounds great. It looks factory made and I can still use the center stand. I have some pics but they are to large to post here. E-mail me and I will sent them to you.
God Bless,
Tim

All the GS systems are so "Diet Coke" looking. I made my own:

The small canisters on the inside of the pipes are claimed to store a bit of pressure to boost midrange when you get back on the throttle coming out of turns and such. They are what makes a Duplex what it is. They fit the bike nicely as is although the pipe is a tight fit under the sump.

Thanks, Billy!

Billy-

That Yoshi pipe looks really good on your bike. Did you have to rejet to handle the increased flow? Also, did you use the stock headers or some new ones?
