Is this a Supertrapp pipe??

[srsupertrap]

Really? Never ever ever seen one in chrome...I stand corrected.

Oh, yeah. The slip on i have you CANNONT (seemingly) remove the baffle from. I drilled out the rivet on the midpipe, pulled the can off and i just cannot see how it would come out of there..

I cannot remove mine either because my megaphone outlet is slightly out of round. I tried removing it when repainting last year with a piece of wood & mallet but decided against it when it wouldn't budge

The pipe sounds good most of the time, but there is a certain small segment of the rev range to where it just does not sound good. I will usually downshift to get past it.

Some other GSer else explained this about a week ago based on Kevin Cameron's TDC writing or book: Essentially the exhaust power wave in all 4/1's reflects back to some degree and head back up the header in certain RPM ranges. If the wave being reflected back is stronger than the normal exhaust scavenging the result is a flat spot and that "different" sound associated with it. Interestingly even when my GS1000 was factory stock & new it had a slight flat spot right at 3000 rpm as I transitioned off the pilot circuit.

BTW, nice skunk

Interesting, thanks for the info. And thanks for the compliment. I do love this bike. It is not the smoothest, or most refined, but damn, it does have character.

Nice! I don't suppose you can get these anymore??

[Thehotbeast]

I don't think they make them anymore for the GS's that's to bad because it sounds great and looks good.

I think you should know by now that it is NOT a super trapp, I myself have one on my bike and it sounds great even without the disc's... When I got the bike it was missing the disc's. If anyone has some and even the end cap they don't need let me know.

I have an end cap. Discs you can get on ebay or thru dennis kirk... end caps too, but they're not very cheap..

Summit racing carries the complete line of supertrapp mufflers, accessories, and hardware.

Its a damn shame you cant get a hold of a header anymore...


AHHHHH But i do see they sell 2.5 inch mandrel bent pipe...

[Tarbash 27]

Yeah, oh well. Im lucky mine is in great shape with absolutely no dents. The only reason I paid $650 for this bike was the stainless exhaust system was worth about half of it.

[TheCafeKid]

Mines not stainless...simply mild steel. Oh well..it still sounds bad ass. I need to figure out how to get the core out of it to repack or replace it...
