    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Exhaust question 2 into 1 or 4 into 1 ?

So I have my winter project all setup on my 81 GS 550L . Currently has dual 2 into 1 pipes .
Im sure that flows nicely at higher rpms but the back pressure is less at the bottom end.
Would going to 4 into 1 create a better off the line power ?
 
The opposite.

4-1 = more power up top.

4-2 = more power down low/mid.

Generally speaking, of course.
 
Mine has the 4-1 Vance and Hines pipes and I can tell you that compared to my CX500 (which had standard pipes) the noise difference on the 4-1 is pretty large. Not that it's "bad" noise, it just has a serious growl that is all business.

It's the difference of a kitty cat meowing and a lion roaring. The lion roar is pretty impressive, but definitely not subtle. You won'rt be sneaking up on anyone with a 4-1 set up.

Can't tell you much about the performance aspect because I'd be comparing a 500 with an 850.
