    Marving Silencers (mufflers)

    Hi
    My bike is a 1980 GS850g. When I got it five years ago it had the original 4-2 system fitted. The silencers had rotted so I fitted a british made "Motad" 4-1 with stainless downpipes. It's ok but I think it spoils the look of the bike and it makes a bit of a "tinny" noise on tickover.
    My objective is to go back to a 4-2 but the only option available seems to be the "Marving" system. They only make the silencers and the idea seems to be that you use the downpipes from the original system, this is ok for the inner two pipes but the outers have to be cut from the factory silencers. Has anyone tried this and with what results? My pipes are ok to use condition wise, any comments would be much appreciated

    A lot of people here have done exactly that on their stock systems, but used discarded Harley Davidson mufflers instead of aftermarket slip-ons. H-D owners in the USA frequently have the dealerships remove the OEM exhaust mufflers and install straight open pipes, which are terribly loud. The dealerships oftentimes toss the old mufflers or sell them on ebay cheap.

    They look ok on our older style bikes, and sound pretty decent too. A little louder and throatier than stock, but not obnoxiously loud.

      Hi, sprot850g. I have sito slip on silencers on my GS1000, very much like marving. They are well made and sound more or less like standard, been on there for 15 years so good quality.

        Great looking system. Did you have those welded on? hard to tell in the picture. Nice looking bike altogether, some nice mods. I don't get the airbox though, I'm guessing it's a 'G' airbox instead of the one that's supposed to be there.

          They are clamped onto downpipes. And the air box is because I could not find a chain drive unit. It works fine and gives me room for a storage box where filter would be.

            Here is a picture to show how these Sito slip on silencers/mufflers mount.

              Tired looking online for the product with no luck, looks like they've stopped making that model, what a shame.

                Po of my bike took what looks like steel wool to the mufflers....bad idea! Mine are sound, but ugly. Wish there was an aftermarket source for decent 4-2...not turn outs though{hate turn outs}.

                  How about these, Dunstal megaton copies I fitted to my 750. original header pipes cut off at the collector and a stub pipe welded on for the mufflers to slip onto. www.feked.com universal silencers.
