    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

80 GS550 Exhaust questions

The muffler from my GS550E has bit the dust so to speak and is beyond repair which leaves me with some questions about my options.

My first thought is replacing it with an OEM part but they seem to be hard to find. I am also having trouble finding information on the compatibility with other years and models so if anyone could send some insight my way I would appreciate it.

My other thought was to keep the headers and get creative with the welder but that potentially leads down a dark road of back-pressure and jetting. This is a less favorable option.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the site. 550 Exhaust pipes seem hard to find in my experience but it is possible - check out Ebay as one possibility.

Also look over Basscliff's site - http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff to find a lot of good information (service manual, maintenance tips, and other stuff) that will keep you reading for months. In it is a list of the top parts suppliers; although one of them, Alpha Sports, is the most expensive place out there, they have a great parts lookup feature to check compatibility.
