    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.

HI
I'm looking at buying the Vance and Hines Street Megaphone (part no. 12001) for my 1982 GSX 1100EZ. Can anyone recommend these pipes as being any good for my bike. Also with these pipes fitted would i get access to my oil drain plug and filter. The headers i have at the moment need to be loosened up so as i can drop the pipes to change the filter.

Cheers

Richard

I have on my mine and they a good. Nice sound. Not too too loud. You get to keep the centre stand and no problem changing the oil, filter or plug. You will have to rejet though. Do a search for that, Tons of info on it.
 
Good pipes.
Yes you can change your oil and filter.
I'd go to a 47.5 pilot, a 117.5 main jet and remove the air box lid.
 
What Bill said except a stage 3 jet kit with137.5 mains, sell the airbox to someone that can't tune carbs, & put a set of K&N or APE pods on it.

I agree with all others. One thing I like about the pipe is they offer an optional competition (race) baffle for it that has an approx. 1/2 inch larger dia. outlet size and still isn't obnoxiously loud for the street. As far as jetting I have had good luck with removing the air filter housing completely and leaving the plenum still on which has the rubber velocity stacks inside it and attaching a large long oval K&N filter to it, along with a stage 3 Dynojet kit. Years back Ward Performance did some dyno pulls with that set up and I believe showed more HP with the CV carbs then when using the just the pods installed. I believe something to do with the combination of the rubber velocity stacks and the Constant Velocity carbs. Wish I could find that article to share got it somewhere and still looking. Part # for the competition baffle is 21260 for the megaphone.
