    Exhaust Options for an '81 GS650E?

    I have been doing some research but I am relatively new to the realm of motorcycles and even newer to anything related to aftermarket. I am not looking for the loudest possible exhaust or anything obnoxious, just something a little louder and throatier than the stock exhaust. I will admit, I'm not a huge fan of the gradual cone shaped exhaust. I got such a great deal on this bike, I have the funds to purchase something nice for her as a welcome home gift Any pipes that you guys could recommend for me? I would prefer to be able to install them myself but if the carbs require re-jetting I will most likely bite the bullet and have it professionally installed.

    A "welcome home gift"- where's it been?

    Anyways, what do you want ? -4 into 1 (like link below) or 4 into 2 (seems less common)



    Critical things to check are
    1/ can you change oil filter without removing exhaust
    2/ will centerstand still work

    I'm unsure if shafties 650 take a different setup than the E . You might get away with no jetting changes, but others will know.

      I've got a Vance Hines 4 into 1 on my GS750E that's plenty "throaty" with good tone.
      '79 GS750 - 4th and current ride...first since 1983
      '73 CB350 - 1st ride
      '76 GT750 - 2nd ride - the "water buffalo" - sold to buy an engagement ring
      '79 RD400F Daytona Special - 3rd ride, the last of the street legal US 2-strokes - sold to buy a house
