    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.

My friend recently bought a 79 gs 850 and it came with a lot of extra parts. One of those parts being a 4 into 1 exhaust. I think its gonna be loud, but i wanna stick it on there and see what it sounds like. If i remove my stock exhaust, am i gonna have to buy new gaskets or can i just swap exhausts and if i dont like it swap back??
 
You should use new exhaust gaskets everytime you install headers. I personally have used exhaust gaskets up to 3 or 4 times, but have a look at my header clamps sometime. They are all bent from torquing the bolts down wayyyyy to tight to seal the leaks.
 
I have to agree with Jethro. You will almost certainly leak without new gaskets, no matter how tight you make the clamps. I know from experience with installing a MAC 4-into-1 exhaust on Honda CB750.
 
You may end up being sorry removing the exhaust as the studs have an annoying habit of snapping off and causing untold grief!!!!
