Best reasonably priced 4:1 system?

[Guest]

I'm looking to buy a new exhaust for my 77 GS750. Who out there makes a good quality system? I'm running VM26 and will of course jet them properly for whichever system I end up getting.

Define "reasonably priced".

Vance and Hines makes a decent one for around $350. MAC makes one as well, but I would go V&H before I would buy a MAC.

I guess I would say anything around $350-$450 would be reasonable. What makes the Vance & Hines so much better than the Mac?

They both rust just about as fast as the other but the V & H sounds much better and looks better. IMHO.

Marving makes a nice one as well, you get to keep the centre stand and can easily get at the oil drain plug as well (same as the V&H). There's a bike shop in Idaho that is the US distributer, cost around $450 delivered.

Best PERFORMING exhaust system.

So I guess I should have specified what I meant by "Best". When I look for motorcycle parts, I am looking for parts that PERFORM best, or provide the best performance for the money that I have to invest. "Function over fashion", ya dig? Sound and looks on an exhaust are second and third to how they make my engine/bike perform. I'm looking for an exhaust system under $500 that will help maximize my engines performance and efficiency as much as possible with the VM26 carbs that are on it.

Hey Charlie I would try and find something older and used , instead of going the new route as they seem not so well made and the finish is crappy, like Vance and Hines , they are out there if you look , a older yosh pro kerker would be ideal and they clean up nice as long as they are not full of dents and holes, I have a nice old Mac front is black and the end pipe chrome , not sure if it will fit a 750 , maybe someone here would know if if it can work , I spent a couple hours sandblasting and painting and polishing , looks new now, try bike salvage yards near you , or even far from you they will ship , I have ordered parts from Steve's
Cycle salvage in Georgia they have everything .brian

I have had no luck finding a Yoshi pipe that would fit my bike. Anyone know of a Yoshi exhaust for a 77 GS750 that is for sale?

I have V&H on my 750 and 1100. I have had the one on my 750 for 2 years and 30000kms (18000mile) and it looks like the day I bought it (I do tend to take care of things though).
But I gotta say if I was doing it again I would really consider the Marving exhaust. I have heard and rode Rob's (AZR) bike, it's awesome!
