I am building a 1981 GS650GL into a cafe' bike. I can get a 4to1 Mac pipe or I have read the thread that states a V&H pipe for a 550 will work with gaskets. I would like to hear from anyone that has actual use of either of these solutions. My 750 got a good boost in mid/top range with V&H. I appreciate any info you might have. Thanks in advance.

Power gain with a pipe is kind of eh...where you gain the most is the weight loss big time.Originally posted by Madmax View PostsigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002

I don't run either (I run Kerker) but you might also ask about quality of one brand vs. another.Comment

Go with the V&H
Better overall quality.
Gaskets? You always use exhaust gaskets in the head.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

I have had Mac, V&H, Kerker. I took off the Mac and sold it, the Kerker and V&H are much better.Comment
