Hi

I'm a newbie in mechanic. I have this beautiful machine that I bought almost for nothing. I thought I was smelling gas when I was riding but in fact I realize that It's exhaust gas ! Watch those hole in the exhaust system!

First I'd like to know a little bit about the exhaust system. I realized that it's two parts. The mufflers and the exhaust pipe. Am I right?

I'm kind on a budget and I'd like to find the cheapest replacement part. I checked on Z1 and under GS750T there are no replacement part.

First as you can see, there is a crack in the right muffler, is it fixable?

And there are giants holes in the pipes under the bike. I'm sure that this is not fixable.

So what would you do in this case?

Can you direct me on the cheapest replacement part?

Thanks for your advices !

(Sorry english is not my mother language!)

IMG_0082.jpgThis is the second hole on the exhaust system!
 
Vance & Hines does make a pipe for the T, MrEd put one on his T and fit nicely. sounds good too. Though the Delkevic SS pipe looks nice too and seems to be about $100 cheaper then the VH which the last time I looked was hovering around $475. The VH is chrome compared to the SS Belkevic pipe, IMO I would go with the SS. Been looking for a new replacement for my RC pipe.
 
Hi Folks

The best so far I have found is this:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/151221781490?euid=aa4572c92e724487a5bac1491d42ce0c&cp=1

What the pro and cons about the 4-1?

I ask the vendor and it is a direct replacement.

I guess I have to buy new gasket?

How long and tough is a job like this?

Would you go for this?

Is this very important?
  • NOTE: Carburetor re-jetting may be desired for best performance

Yasser I you come tell me, if I'm free I'll show you around!

I would stay away from the Mac pipes IMO, they aren't that well made, cheaper yeah though that's about it.

Welcome. Sorry but there is no cheap method for replacing pipes that I considered. Of course, I was on the road and making decent money to afford my V/H 4-1 exhaust:



Also...here is the "T" thread that I must mention to you so you can post a pic of your ride:

I see you are active today MrBill...thanks for the mention.
