Looks Good
They look good. How different is the sound from the stock mufflers?80 GS850GT " Are we having fun yet! "Comment

They do look good. How did you do it? A nice pictorial, or at least a description would be nice. Did you have to cut the old ones off? And yes, how do they sound compared to stock? And was there any re-jetting or calibration of the carbs necessary?Comment

Mufflers look great. I'm a huge fan of the stock Suzuki exhaust but they are getting harder and harder to find in good condition.
How about some more details on how these were mounted? Stock mufflers are welded to the 2 into 1 collector so they have to be cut off to install something different. What diameter inlet does the muffler have and do you have any leak issues?Ed
To measure is to know.

Those look like Dunstall knock-offs. An old member here has a set on one of his bikes and they look and sound great.Last edited by Guest; 05-18-2008, 11:15 AM.Comment

Yeah, they are Dunstall replicas and not to pricey either. Even though the manual insisted that the original mufflers can be unfastened from the headers, no such luck, they are welded on as most of you know. So I cut the welds with an angle grinder, and welded in a piece of 1 5/8 tailpipe exhaust that had one end pressed smaller to fit into the muffler. Then it was clamped on and the universal bracket bolted on. It took a while to remove the original piece of muffler collars that were still in the collectors. I haven't noticed any difference in performance but I've only owned the bike for 2 weeks and haven't really pushed the limits yet. One thing that did help was using peel and stick foam around the hatch for the air filter to seal it up better. The old seal was gone. Lots of little stuff to do like petcock rebuilding, O-Rings, etc. I'll take some pics of stuff that I do from now on......Comment

Oh yeah, I forgot, they do have minor leakage at the joints. I know that there is a product to apply before installation, I just have to remember what it is. Hmmmm, that could take a while. Oh well, spring is here now so I think I'll go for a ride, maybe that will jog the memory. Worth a try....Comment
