    I asked the Mr Torres (the proprietor) about doing my exhaust pipes too and he said he wouldn't take on the job because the shape of the GS's one piece header/muffler just makes it too unwieldy to work on with the equipment they have and the cost would be too high.

        I've got new mufflers so I have to cut the 2 & 3 head pipes off the OEM mufflers and inset the into the new mufflers. So I'm not worried about the size shape of the pipes. I need to check out a shop near my work to see what the say about it.

            OK, I get it. TAS, did you get the Marving mufflers like these? http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Suzuki/G...cers_-_Chrome/

            I've been thinking about going that way in order to preserve the 4-2 configuration and was wondering if anyone had tried them yet. FWIW. reports on the Marving 4-1 exhaust system has been positive.

                Easier? No. Less expensive? Yes.

                        How are the Sito's for sound? did you have to rejet? did you have to do any modifications to get them to fit? they look virtually stock.

                            I've never heard a Sito before but some on here have a say they sound avlose to stock. I don't care much as my OEM have dome rusted holes in them.

                            Not sure about rejetting.

                            And they look to be a direct bolt on. I've read here a year or 2 ago that they are very much like OEM.

                            Let's see how lucky I am.
