Kerker exhaust- quick question

[RJz1100E]

Does anyone know if a Kerker system that fits 86-88 GSXR1100, will fit right up to my 82 GS1100E ?

It PHYSICALLY will fit but the diameter of the pipes where they go into the GS head are smaller than GS pipes. I build GS motors with GSXR heads & grind down the GS pipes to fit into the GSXR heads. Will it work? I say bolt it up & see if it will run without leaking. You may need an assistant to help center the pipes while you bolt them down. Try it, what's to lose? Ray. P.S. You will have to slot the bolt holes in the flanges because the GSXR has a LITTLE bit closer together bolt pattern.

Thanks Ray. Actually I have'nt bought the system yet, waiting to find out if it'll work on my bike. Don't want to buy it if it won't fit or cannot be made to fit fairly easily.
Additional question here. Do you or anyone else here know if the Kerker slip on canisters (not megaphone type) will fit onto my V & H head pipe?

So what you are saying is that the spacing between the 4 header pipes is such that they will mate up with the outlet holes in the GS1100E head but the pipes are just a tad smaller? If so could it be possible to expand them or cut the ends off a set of GS pipes and weld onto the Kerker?

I REALLY want this exhaust but it'll cost me a few hundred smackers. I can't really afford for it not to work. Any more suggestions? Or should I just forget about it and be happy with my V & H.
