4 into 2 exhaust

[hampshirehog]

I talked to a guy at Popham in April who is making the 4-2 headers for loads of bikes, including the 750 and the 1000. He's making them in stainless and the polished up ones looked pretty good. He had some mounted on a 1000 and they don't look like original - they look neater fitting and 'more parallel'. I've got a card somewhere and if I find it I'll post his details. I think he was knocking them out for mid ?200s, silencers extra.

Failing that this might be worth a phone call:

They look good too, thanks for the link, I have an Arrow on my Triumph scrambler (It came with it on) and it used to be shiney but as I've used it it has lost all of its shine and will have to come off and some serious attention given it.

Hi, can anyone tell me if an exhaust from a GS550L will fit my GS750 (1978 vintage)?

Desperate to find a 4 into 2 system, but really struggling.

Cheers

Doona - I am in the same position.

In my dreams I want to cut them open. Fix them up. Sandblast the insides, seal them up again and then re-chrome. See: My GS1100G Blog - Exhausting Pipes. Still a hugely expensive option.

Someone here put me onto ebay Germany and there must be a load of GS riders out there as they have stuff we don't see on UK and USA ebay like this: Exhaust Pipes.

And if you want to do it yourself try this: Make your own muffler. But these yanks have all the kit, the workshops and so on. Not so easy if you live in a UK terraced house or some such!

Hi,

Just taking a little stroll around eBay. Below are some 4-n-2 and some 4-n-1 exhausts. Were you looking at that $49 GS550 exhaust? I don't think that will fit your 750, different cylinder spacing.

Cheers Basscliff, unfortunately they are all the wrong side of the pond for Londonboards and me. Postage costs would be outrageous.

Londonboards: cheers will have a look at the German eBay site

 

[John Kat]

There is one here in France ( not mine) but I don't know how much it would cost to ship over to the US?

Sorry about that. There is no location information in your profile. [Hint: Click "UserCP" in the upper left and add your location and perhaps your bike's year/model in the sig file.]


Thank you for your indulgence,

Mac 4 into 2

Here's one in the US (and shipping to UK is only $32) - they might make a 750 version or you might find a supplier in the UK who can source MAC kit. I don't know where they are made.

cheers londonboards, Ive found one on their website for a GS750E (1981-82) I'm assuming that it will fit (with some minor tinkering)
Ive sent them an email asking them to confirm what's included (down pipes etc) & the postage to the uk (coz that seems really cheap!)

I'll let you know the result

Doona,

I had a GS450, up until a year ago and it came with a 2 to 1 made by MAC. I was fairly loud and had this tinney rattle in that drove me nuts. It took me a half a dozen (or more?) trys of taking apart the baffel to get it to stop. Still don't know what fixed it a part from maybe the alignment of the stars. I'm not the best judge of the quality of exhaust systems but I don't hold Mac in high regard.

I was thinking about you today at the Ardingly Bike Jumble. I was tempted to buy it anyway:

Even though you are looking for a four into two!

Greetings

 

[Doona]

Cheers Charlie, it may be that I have to risk it (it is suspiciously cheap though)

Thanks Londonboards, in fairness I have a useable 4 into 1 motad system, but really wanted to put it back to stock (ish)

 

[2Stroke]

What will give better performance the 4 into 2 or the 4 into 1?

See attached pipes for GS 750 E. Brought them from Tranzac in Brisbane Australia.

Steve

This was a while back, but any updates Steve? Are you happy with these? Any pics or video of them on the bike?

This is so close to stock (as far as looks) I'd be happy with them if they sound and perform well. Shipping from Oz might make them out of reach though...

 

[Sam 78 GS750]

Any other options stateside for 4 into 2? All I can find are the Mac systems, and they don't have the greatest reviews/reputation.

 

[gssteve]

Hi Sam​

yes very happy with them. Hard to believe it was 2012 when I posted the pictures.
They fitted really easy and don't make a great deal of noise, possible like the originals.
if I remember the guy who made them had a set of original pipes to copy from.
Pretty close to standard looking.
