Okay, I realize that the vast majority of you are into the 4 cylinder GS's, :wink: and I don't blame you a bit. Nice bikes. But I just happen to be the owner of a puny little 2 banger. :( I have done some searching for an exhaust system/slip-ons or whatever, with very little success. Does anyone know if GS450 exhaust will fit on the 425? If so, I have found some exhaust to use, but would like a few opinions on the matter. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Gearhead.

The MAC USA website used to list a 2 into 1 pipe for both the 425 and 450. Funny enough it had the same part number. I'm guessing that they're interchangable. I say used to list, because I checked back recently and they didn't have suzuki bike parts at all. I dunno if this was a glitch when they updated they're page, or they're gettting out of the motorcycle exhaust business.

PS: I think two cylinders is just the right number - see my sig for details.
 
Hey there, I am also riding the famed 79 425...and yes MAC only list one exhaust for the 425 and the 450 because the aftermarket one has a more universal mount...the 425 uses a different rear mounting point than the 450...In fact I just insalled my MAC 2-1 today...I got it from dennis kirk for 194.00 shipped...sound great over the stocker...especially with pod filters...I will have pics available tomorrow if you would like them, by the way I am building this bike to be a cafe racer style...please ask if you have more questions...thanks, Chris.

You probably should check EBAY, I think I've seen some systems on there recently.
 
Thanks for the input people. I guess that since Dennis Kirk is only a 100 miles away, I should check them out. Chris - I'm guessing that by going to the cafe racer style, the pipe you got is "modern road racer/cafe racer" style? Although I don't mind that sound or look, I am currently planning on keeping the cruiser styling due to economics, if for no other reason. Your project does sound appealing, though, and fun to ride. :)
 
Well as far as looks, it does have a mean apearance to it... one quick note to anyone trying the MAC exhaust, leave the baffle in, its crazy loud without it, as I guessed but I had to try...and yes I do need to rejet, I am having some trouble finding a jet kit though, if I cant find anything soon I will bring it to the shop and have someone play with it...Midwest Action Cycle is about 10 miles down the road from my house so I am not all too worried...but with baffle in and the pods it does sound good...and in all reality its not a bad price although its $194.00 more than I paid for the bike in the first place...
 
I was able to buy new jets from the local dealer a year ago, though I don't remember just how spendy they were. It wasn't too big of a deal for me, as I only had to move up one step. I suppose you might be in for a little more experimentation than that.
