hey all, i am completely overhauling my barn find, on a complete "custom fab/build my own" budget. i have my stock exhaust, hate the sound, doesn't suit me. but i love the stock look of the dual "megaphone". i want to completely gut them out so that they are true megaphones. has anyone done this on the stock exhaust? I'm just curious of how to gut them with cutting them in half welding them back together. thanks for your time guys

How good are they? I need a set like that. Maybe sell them and use the money toward some new pipes???

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
sorry.. thats kind of the reason I'm considering hacking them up... found the bike on its side,, was a barn find that the pre-owner was going to put in junk yard for scrap price.. chrome is scratched and right side towards front has a dent. which i will cut out and put new pipe in. I've got a line and on an identicle bike to mine for cheap, any parts between the two i don't use i will post.Comment

I dont have any suggestions. Seems that the ends would need cut out and then cut from the header pipe where they join...but the biitch would be putting it all back together so it looks half decent.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Please don't try to "gut" them, they will just sound like crap and make a ton of noise. Have seen photos here where people have grafted on some aftermarket universal mufflers onto their GS. JC Whitney sells some Dunstall copies that are reputed to sound nice.Ed
