    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.

What are my NEW Exhaust options? GS1000 Skunk

Man I've had a hell of a time finding an exhaust for this that is neither a MAC nor a 4-1. Luckily, this forum made it very easy to find the spokes hubs, though, and they're ready to lace up! So can you refer me to any chrome 4-2 or 4-2-4 or 4-4 options for the GS1000 1978? Basically anything OTHER than a 4-1!

Thanks
 
Check out Delkevic. A new player. A few members have tried them and seem to be generally pleased if I recall.
 
There's one I haven't seen before! Unfortunately they only seem to have 4-1 for the GS...
 
Yeah, the hard part is finding anything that is OEM style or just isn't 4-1!
 
Personally, I'm addicted to the sound of a 4-into-1, but after that, I vote for a 4-into-4. (This is a democracy, right? :xsmilie_mrgreen:)
 
Are you opposed to a nice original exhaust? Seems to me that would be your best solution for a 4 into 2 exhaust.
 
I like the 4-4 option, and it's cheap... just chop and wrap your old pipes! haha
 
If you really don't want a 4>1 the MAC is your only choice for a new set if pipes.My solution for a relatively stock looking pipes with new mufflers kinda fell into place for me.

Had gotten these long Dunstall reverse cones thrown in with a deal for 2 GS400's.

Got a set of header pipes with rusted out mufflers off Rob(azr).

Cut off the old rusty bits.

And had a friend weld on these stubs.

It would take a keen eye or parking beside a stock piped 1000 to tell the difference IMHO.
 
Looking good... I have a Marving. 4:1 flat collector & lets you retain the centrestand

Not at all. I'd love to have original downpipes. It's just the mufflers I'm not a great fan of for this build. But having the OEM downpipes with CHROME still attached sounds unfeasible, considering Suzuki's reputation for tin-foil chrome plating.

SVsook's solution is superb.

Dennis Kirk (www.denniskirk.com) sells MAC 4-2. I have a set, but I'm think about going back to a header. I would be willing to sell the set I have. bobbacringo@hotmail.com
 
Well I cracked and went for some MAC 4-2, since I had a deal from the supplier. Sure wish there were more non-4-1 options :(
