ebay exhaust

[Guest]

Looking at getting this, but had a closer look at the pics and the bottom pipes are pretty scratched up and dented/flat

what does the collective think?

thanks

Well, this part of "the collective" thinks it's going to take a lot of work to make it worth the asking price.

A waste of $100 if you ask me. Those dents look as though they are not repairable and the flattened area's look like they're bad enough to effect flow. I think there are far better deals to be had than that, just my 2 cents though.

Those pipes got HOT!!
The can is worth $50 but the header looks like junk to me.

For my information..what headers fit the 700? will a 750 pipe fit that? never been around any 700's before.

The '83-'86 GS750E/ES and pop up headlight Katanas all share the same size header with the GS700E/ES.

The older GS750 headers do not fit.

Edit: the first generation GSXR750 headers fit as well, but they do not mount up the same and will have to modified a bit. That has been a fairly common replacement exhaust because there are more of them out there.

If you're looking for aftermarket only, they are pretty rare. Stock exhausts seem to come up more often on ebay. I have two spare stockers myself hanging on the wall in my garage.

I have a friend who has a slightly used Bassani Superbike pipe for a 1986/1987 GSXR750 that is just hanging in his garage. I told him to put it on Ebay. At least someone will get to use a great pipe instead of it just hanging there!!!

So what you are saying is that this pipe will bolt up to the cylinder head of a GS700/750E/ES and clear the bottom of the GS motor? But the rear mounting bracket will have to be modified or changed to fit the GS700/750E ES chassis?

Someone might want a Bassani Superbike pipe for their Gs700/750E/ES, but he wants to make sure it will fit those bikes. He don't want to lie to the people looking at the listing for the pipe.

Are you ****ting me, $76 shipping costs ? Must be overnight shipping or the guy is making a bunch on the cost. Last one I sent boxed up was around $25 UPS
