Exhaust Options

[Mr Toga]

I need a new exhaust for my 1981 GS550T. I've got two options in my mind right now. A fellow has an original set on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_1801wt_939) for $250 but they look a little rusty. My other option is to purchase a new MAC 4-1 from bikebandit for $323.16 (http://www.bikebandit.com/mac-4-into...=6090&t=1&td=1). I talked to them and they said that they were getting two more in on Monday. My question is to which one to purchase. I understand that the original is cheaper but I'm worried about the amount of surface rust on the center header. The Mac 4-1 is new but I've heard mixed reviews on the sound quality. Not looking for quality here; more functionality. Also, with the MAC system, would I have to rejet? I've seen multiple posts about rejetting but a vendor on ebay selling the same system claims "Most of the time, jetting modifications are not needed". Thanks in advanced for the help!

I'd go with the Stockers for 249.00 The center cross pipe on almost all of the GS bikes I've seen (including mine) have some rust on that H-pipe.

One more vote for the stock pipes!

I would definitely go stock over a MAC pipe. Surface rust is easily removed with some fine steel wool.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Bought them last night. Hope to get them on by next weekend.
