Welcome aboard BassCliff will be along soon.

We talking GS1100E or G here?

Assuming E then I don't remember anyone doing a trial fit of an SS2-R but I have measured up several 1st and 2nd Gen GSXR pipes to my ED.

I think the SS2-R is only avaliable for the 2nd Gen right? If it is it might hang a little low as the 2nd Gen's seem to be a little longer.

You will have to fab something for the rear hanger and probably mid pipe.

Are you a welder or fabricator?
 
That would be 1100E model. And yes I believe it is second gen 1989 to 1996. Fabing a hanger shouldn't be a problem. I have other options such as found new set of MAC 4-2-1 on craigslist but cant find any info on performance of the 4-2-1 style but plenty on 4-1. Are the MAC headers decent? Or do U know if V&H 4-1 can be used with mid pipe and slip on? Thanks for your quick reply

I never heard of a MAC 4:2:1. :confused: Got a pic?

I never had a V&H SS2-R but have mounted the following to my ED for a fit check. The Yoshi is mounted on my ED and actually fits the tightest (to belly) of the three 4:2:1's. There is a definite mid range boost. The mid pipes pretty much need modification to fit in all cases. Some 2nd Gens will hit the frame cross over just below the exhaust posts.

4:1 Muzzy 1st Gen GSXR 1100
4:2:1 D&D 1st Gen GSXR 1100
4:2:1 Yoshi 2nd Gen GSXR 1100
4:2:1 Micron 2nd Gen GSXR 1100

A 2nd Gen GSXR 750 might fit but the down tubes are likely pretty small.

If you have a decent 4:2:1 modify it to fit your bike.

4:1 is all I could find..........

They look like they will fit. What are they off of? GSXR?

I have pretty much converted over to 4:2:1 as I like the mid range and have not noticed a hindrance in the top end.

Hey sorry didn't get back to u. The MAC 4-2-1 were made for the GS11000E and were intended to fit the original the GS1150ESE or GS1100ESE however they were marketing the motorcycle i.e Japan or US. ut I am going to pick them up and giv'em a try. Geting them for $300 shipped from east coast to west. Like I said Guy said he picked them up years ago and bought several from MAC as a discontinued model (think they called them 3Y pipe. Anyway, u still haven't given me your input of the MAC haeders and quality or or any other input. Thanks again Dave
