riude Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 Hello. After some searching from site, I understand that GS1000 exhaust would fit to GS1000E? Which makes me believe it would also fit to my GSX750E? Minor modifications are not problem. If they fit, any ideas how does such swap affect to engine performance? Is it possible I need do some jetting etc? Which I absolutely don't want.. I have now "working" aftermarket 4-1, but it's rusty, allready patched sometimes and sounds quite bad, I think theres not much material left inside. I could get this kind of GS1000 exhaust for reasonable price,thats why I'm interested Quote
Fazz711 Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 Almost all exhaust swaps require some jetting to get optimum performance. Some may be close enough to run OK Ish but not spot on. A lot of gs and gsx exhaust are similar and will fit with a bit of work. Usually on the hangers at the rear. 1 Quote
TonyGee Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 ive swapped the exhaust systems over on my GSX1100 and GSX750 with no problems, maybe just a slight mod to the hanger. Quote
riude Posted July 10, 2022 Author Posted July 10, 2022 Ok, just called seller and bought it. We'll see later how it fits. 2 Quote
riude Posted July 19, 2022 Author Posted July 19, 2022 Blah, does not fit. Now distance between outer sides of downpipes 1&4 is about 35cm (I didn't remove it), and on this "new" it's only 33cm. Quote
riude Posted July 19, 2022 Author Posted July 19, 2022 Also, there's big difference between 1&2 and 3&4. So, as it is 4-2-1, its not suitable even for blank to be modified. Damm, lost money. Could someone verify this is GS1000 exhaust? See pic attached. Downpipes are 35mm. Quote
TonyGee Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 so if ive read it right ??????? they are out about 10mm ish ? if thats all then i'd be doing a bit of pulling and pushing to get them lined up. done this before with no issue. I tried a set of bandit headers on my GSX750 and needed to pull the pipes in a bit to get them in the ports but the collector didn't clear the sump Quote
riude Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 Hmm... 1 and 4 should be pushed totally about 20mm apart. Because of 4-2-1 structure, that would fix also problem with dimension difference between 1&2 and 2&4. Not exactly, but quite close. And I think I can stretch that 20mm and still have port-end of pipes perpendicular. BUT, after that 1 &4 and 2&3 are way out of line, see pic below, green line. And lining all of them AND keeping them perpendicular and same lenght can´t be done just pushing/pulling/bending. As fas as I understand. Heating and bending or cutting/tig welding? Anyways quite big job. Worth of it? Perhaps not. I don´t know, but I guess tolerance for pipes perpendicularity to ports is quite tight? Quote
wraith Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Have you tryed fitting it to the bike? Or just getting hung up on them being mm precise. 1 Quote
riude Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 I have, now. Not a chance, it would be easier to your own from straigh pipe. Quote
TonyGee Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 are you sure the exhaust is for a GS1000 ? from the pic's it looks more like a GS550 !!!!! Quote
riude Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 Nope, I'm not sure. It was sold as gs1000, but is it really such? I asked earlier, if someone could verify it, by dimensions on picture. Quote
riude Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 I needed to stretch 1 and 4 totally 30mm to make it fit. Huge difference. If someone gs1000 owner could take measurement from outer sides of downpipes 1 and 4. It can be done with metal ruler easily from bike. Why? If it's obviously not gs1000, i'll ask refund from seller.

riude Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 Thanks. It's same on gsx750e. So, this exhaust is from smaller bike. Quote

BrianUK Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 350mm outside to outside measurement on my GS750 too, if that helps. Quote
TonyGee Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 looks like gs750 up to gsx1100 they are 350mm so its defo looking like its off a smaller bike. Quote
