    1998 Katana exhaust question...

    I have found a really nice mid-pipe and muffler from a stock 1998 Katana. I have an 83 Gs750es with k&n pods and a V&H 4 into 1exhaust with the megaphone muffler on it... I would like to get rid of this megaphone and replace it with a canister muffler soon... I can get everything to match up and weld/clamp together, that is not a problem. What I want to know is will keeping the 4 into 1 headers and slapping on this stock Katana muffler give me a change in performance? It really isn't a big deal so long as it doesnt run like crap, I can handle loosing a few horsies for this muffler... Does anybody think that I will have to rejet after this or should I be ok? I would assume that with the K&N pods that I would be able to keep the current jet kit that I have on however, I think I would like to change them out sometime because they were on when I bought the bike so I have no idea what the sizes are... Thanks, Jason.. P.S. After If this all works out I will probably just give away my megaphone so if anybody wants it let me know in about 3 weeks or so...

    This is going to be a "trial & error" mod. In other words, try it, Take a look at your sparkplugs & then make any necessary jetting changes. It will be a big plus if your bike is running well now & the plugs look good. Checking the carbs for the current jetting wouldn't hurt either.

      When putting a slip on cannister on the later Kats, none of the manufacturers require a rejet. That said, you'll probably be a little on the rich side when going from the megaphone to the stock can. (Better than being lean
