550 exh question

[vinny8524]

i really want to put a 4-1 system on my 78 550. i cant find any good deals on them right now, except new for about $260-300.00

i have some good deals on the newer 80-82 83-86 models.
how much differnece in the cylinder head patterns are there, can a decent fabricator with welders, etc and such make it work with some labor, or is way different.

TIA

I'm more curious to know as to where you found new exhausts for a 83-86 550?

I'm just curious (bumping this up)... I have a 1979 gs550 and want to get a 4-1 system. What is the difference between the 4-1 from 77-79 and the ones from the 80's or latter models? Is it the space between the headers?

you can make it work with very little fab work. I bought the 81-82 mac 4-1 system to fit my 78 550. all i had to do was cut down about .800" off the part of the exh pipes that slide into the engines exhaust ports. and just make a bracket to support the muffler from the frame. it worked out fine.
