    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone cut their stock exhaust?

Hi all..

Well...the title says it all. My "somewhat" stock-butchered-mismatched exhaust on my 79' GS1000 is in real rough shape...they don't match, as the ends of both are different styles, one side is pretty much hollow, the last 1/3 of the pipe, and the other has rust holes all along the bottom the last 1/3 of the pipe. So I guess I just wondering if anyone has tempted to cut their exhaust, and what resulted? I have 4 k & n pod filters, and the carb has been jetted in anticipation of getting a 4 into 1, but my budget is tight for a while....so any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff (teet)

i had one set with good header and bad muffler, and another with good muffler and bad header. i cut them right after the Y and welded the good parts together. it worked pretty well. i seem to remember there being an inner pipe that i had to deal with too. don't really remember what i had to do with that.
 
The exhaust on my bike is the stock GS750ES header pipes and 4-2 collector with the megaphones cut off and Hayabusa mid pipes & cans grafted on. I cut the midpipe fittings off a 'busa header and welded them on to the stubs where the megaphones were.

See pics in the link in my sig.

Thanks for the Idea, that might be the route to take. My local craigslist seems to be riddled with stock sportbike exhaust pretty cheap, I'll have to keep my eyes open.

thanks
