gs1000 stock exhaust

[Guest]

hey all, i am completely overhauling my barn find, on a complete "custom fab/build my own" budget. i have my stock exhaust, hate the sound, doesn't suit me. but i love the stock look of the dual "megaphone". i want to completely gut them out so that they are true megaphones. has anyone done this on the stock exhaust? I'm just curious of how to gut them with cutting them in half welding them back together. thanks for your time guys

How good are they? I need a set like that. Maybe sell them and use the money toward some new pipes???


I am looking for no dents, good chrome, etc etc. Take some pictures if your interested in a deal.

sorry.. thats kind of the reason I'm considering hacking them up... found the bike on its side,, was a barn find that the pre-owner was going to put in junk yard for scrap price.. chrome is scratched and right side towards front has a dent. which i will cut out and put new pipe in. I've got a line and on an identicle bike to mine for cheap, any parts between the two i don't use i will post.

I need a nice set of 80 1000 stockers for a Cooley rebuild.

if they were nice i would definently post them, i would never cut up something in good shape when someone could use them. but they are not in good shape so I'm seeking info on how to gut them hollow

Getting the popcorn..
Should be good.

I dont have any suggestions. Seems that the ends would need cut out and then cut from the header pipe where they join...but the biitch would be putting it all back together so it looks half decent.

Please don't try to "gut" them, they will just sound like crap and make a ton of noise. Have seen photos here where people have grafted on some aftermarket universal mufflers onto their GS. JC Whitney sells some Dunstall copies that are reputed to sound nice.
