'77-80 550 exhaust options....or lack.of!

[Scott S]

Man, say what you will about the Honda's, but I have multiple options for exhaust.

EDITED: Because I typed this on my phone last night and forgot to add the model... GS550

I can only find used stock or MAC 4 into 1. Is that really it?
I've seen mention of Kerker or Bassani, but they're pretty much impossible to find.
Delkevic, Hindle, etc, only list the larger bikes.

Is that it?

It might help if you would reveal what bike you are talking about?

But where's the fun in that?

[Big T]

I don't know if fun enters into it, but we could go there.

I was getting out of the shower this morning and thought "You know....I don't think I specified 550...".

Edited original post. Sorry....my bad.

If gou had to choose between new MAC or a nice set of used E pipes/mufflers, which would you choose?

[Frank Z.]

By all means go with stock Suzuki exhaust system. They'll be tuned to your motor, and add value to the bike. MAC systems are rubbish, IMHO.

[Scott S]

I'm not a huge fan of MAC, but they're OK. The one I had on a 550 was fine. Nothing special, but not complete crfap, either. There's just no other options that I can find.

One option would be to get a bike that fits the pipe you want.

[Scott S]

I don't know what that means ....or exactly how to take it. :/

I'm not shopping for a bike for my pipe. I'm shopping for a pipe for my 1980 GS550.

Anyway.... I found a good used exhaust. Talked to them in the phone and confirmed that they're solid and no rust through or soft spots. Only light surface stuff.
Able to purchase direct and got them for a good bit less than a MAC would cost.
Hopefully, they'll clean up well when they get here.

An hour polishing and it looks like you will have a nice looking set of pipes.
I am a big fan of Autosol. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Autosol-Met...NZpxK3&vxp=mtr

Might want to spring for new exhaust gaskets as well.

[Scott S]

All in the plans!
