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...

I am wanting to put on a high performance 4-1 pipe on my 83 GS 1100. Vance and Hines has a "4-1 Chrome" exhaust. Does any one know how these perform? I have also found a 4-1 MAC, which they call high performance, but the MAC 2-2 is far from "performance". Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Kind regards...Craig
 
I just put a new one on my '82 1100E (stock motor, pods, Stage III, DynaS). Great pipe. Not too loud, easy access to oil plug and filter. You even get to keep the centerstand. Highly recommended.
 
I had a vance and Hines 4 into 1 on my 750. Performance was ok, but I was a lot louder than I could stand. I havent bought another because of it.

I have had kerkers on all 3 of my 1100's. Love them, only down side the removal of the centerstand.
 
I have a V&H supersport canister type. I think it sounds good and not too loud, but you loose the centerstand and must remove the exhaust to change the oil.
 
That lets Kerker out for me. I use the centerstand too much.

I recommend the V&H chrome megaphone. Good pipe. You'll need to go up a size or two on the main jet. Also, a little tweaking of the mixture screws.
 
I took the supertrap off my 1150 & installed a V & H, mainly so I could put the centerstand back on, and V & H has more low end torque than most others. Due to the smaller diameter of the collector. Always remember, if you don't need to re-jet, your pipe isn't breathing any better than what you had
 
Thanks guys!! I have just got the bike dyno'd with the MAC 2-2, 36mm flat slides, cams, 1166cc rebuild, dyna 2000, pod filters, and it is only getting 100 HP with a flat spot at 6 K rpm. The fellows that did the dyno think the problem is with the pipes. I would love to find a set of stainless pipes, but have not had any luck. I thought of building a set, and I am still considering this. Anyone heard back about the "X-pipe" story? I contacted V&H and they are back ordered to July for their 4-1 :cry: so....I guess I ride the bike the way it is for now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Kind regards....Craig
