What other year exhaust will fit the GS's

I have a 1982 Gs 1100E and I have seen some newer style V&H or Yoshimura pipes on these, I assume from an 80's era gsxr. Just wondering if anyone has had ony luck with cross fitting exhausts without a big hassle?
Thanks Jay
 
Port spacing will be the same but not diameter. The Gixxers had smaller ports. They'll fit the '83 and up 700/750 E and ES models since they have the 42mm ports like the Gixxer. Some people have worked around the smaller ports on liter class GS/GSX models.
 
I have heard (but do NOT know) that FZR1000 header pipes work. Anyone know? Certain years? I don't know...just something that I heard a while back.

If you can fabricate a mid pipe, then the main issue as far as fit is the clearance of the cross brace just under the exhaust ports (on the GS). Yes the OD of many of the GSXR pipes are smaller OD but most are at least 1.5" OD which is the same as a V&H street bike. To fit the head, the flange bolt spacing is wider on the GS so the flange bolt holes need to be slotted.

I've got a 1st Gen (86-88) 1100 pipe that seems to be an ideal length for under belly clearance. I've got two a 2nd Gen (89-92) 1100 pipes; The Yoshi is a little long, the Micro is very long (too long). The problem with going to a 2nd Gen 750 pipe is that the OD will drop.

Bandit 1200 pipes fit GSXR's and so will also fit a GS.

There is a thread over at Gixxer.com of fitting GSXR 1000's Ti exhausts to 1st GEN bikes so by extension it would also fit the GS assuming the cross brace could be dealt with.

There is a posted here recently that replaced a cross brace because a PO had removed it to allow for more exhaust choices.

The best fitting exhaust will have the drop tubes symmetrical farther than crossing over or swayed to one side.

So almost any GSXR/Bandit liter+ exhaust can work depending upon the manufacturer.

so will the gsxr 600 bolt up,or not?, or will it need 750

It's only the oil cooled Gixxer pipes that work. The GSX600F used the same block and head castings as the 750 so they should work as well. I would only try to fit them to a 700 or 750 though, '83 and up. I have a hunch they would fit the 650 as well. They'd be too tight for liter class GS/GSX models.

The KZ does share the same intake spacing so exhaust is probably the same too. KZ pipes are probably as or more than GS pipes though.

Good info! Hey, what is your header on your red 83 GS1100ED??? It's good lookin'!

Don't mean to thread-jack, but your exhaust is particulrarly cool. Thanks for the link. I had seen it (your thread) before and guess it slipped my mind how you had done it...verrry impressive.

I have also heard KZ1000 pipes will work...again, year,:confused:

They will line up and all, but won't work. If you look closely, the kz engines are straight up and down, and the gs engines are tilted forward - thats the best description i could come up with... I've tried swapping between them, and a gs pipe on the kz ends up going into the frame.

Good to know. I had read it on a VERA racers web site.
 
Bandit 600 on GS850L

Bandit 600 on GS850L

OK, let's see if I understand. A friend at work pulled the exhaust off his 2001 Bandit 600. My questions are, can this entire system be EASILY made to fit on my 850, and if so, what is his old setup worth, in pretty good condition? He'd give me the whole thing, but that's not fair. What I want is the very quiet exhaust like my Bandit 1250, rather than the short, loud pipes that are on the 850 now. They're stock, by the way.

No, not easily if at all. The pipes from bikes using oil cooled GSX-R based engines best fit the '83 and up 700/750 E models. Other than that you have to start fabbing. Even on the 750 models peg placement could be an issue depending on the pipe.
 
Gs1000?

Gs1000?

Anyone try mounting or have any experience installing a OEM Bandit 1200 header on a 78 -80 GS1000?
 
It would likely fit although you may have to modify the final hanger location. This is Tone's OEM Bandit pipe on an GSX1100 (like GS1100/1150) and GSX750 (like a us 83 model GS750)

If you go through the thread, the main diff at the head is that the flanges need to be slotted. Oil cooler GSXR headers use bolt spacings that are narrower than GS 16V (80-82)750/(80-83)1100/(84-86)1150. From V&H pro pipe applications I think all 8V 1000's are also the same as the 16V just mentioned. Bandit pipes fit GSXR's; The GSXR are a perfect fit for the 83 GS750 as previously mentioned by Bill Ricks.

The price of a bandit pipe is easilt determined by looking and bidding on the selection on ebay. Take your pick of quality they are usually under $100 for Stainless headers.

If some one gets one they should document the fitting process. here for others.

bandit 12 is the same as gsxr1100 regards the flanges & this b12 exhaust has been on both a gsx1100 & the current gsx750 with no mods, i dont see why a yoshi or any other aftermarket exhaust should be any different
