GSX1100G requires a new exhaust - any recommendations?

[gandy666]

hi there

I have the original exhaust on my 22 year old suzuki GSX1100g and the headers and collector box have rotted - the silencers are fine. Suzuki, in their eternal wisdom, decided to make the collector box and silencers as one part.

I'm being quoted silly money for a replacement exhaust - does anyone know if any other bike exhaust will fit this not so common machine?

struggling to weld the collector - its quite far gone - though maybe someone could cut out the old and somehow rebuild / replace it.

I'm west lothian if anyone can suggest a pipe worker who could save it.

or suggest an aftermarket exhaust less than 500 quid.

thanks

Nexus used to be the cheapest replacements for that era bike!

I had one on a GPZ.

I don't even know if they still exist

[gandy666]

yer nexus dont do them any more.

predator is about the only one I can find that is complete with headers

I have a nice set of stainless headers on my gsx1100et. Reverse cone mega welded on. If they fit a g you can have the lot for 250 I,ll be in Kilwinning, near Irvine from July 25th. Just bought a vhr system myself.

I was going to say talk to Mega!

I thought the distance might be a problem

east anglian - thanks for the response - much appreciated.

My bike is a 1992 GSX 1100 G - a shaft drive - the e model will fit the headers but not the frame, plus there isn't enough clearance for the sump ( apparently).

not a particularly common bike - quite unfashionable really - but I love it just the same

hi mega

are you saying 250 for the whole exhaust, or just the headers?

tbh my biggest issue is the rotten collector box on the nearside - I have a set of headers sourced - in metal.

if I had the offer of a complete stainless system I would take the whole lot, but if I can reuse what I have then metal will do.

[gandy666]

to clarify, the way the exhaust on this bike is set up, the silencers split into 2 and the half the collector box is welded onto the pipe - its not seperate, though if I new a welder they might be able to fix it.

the biggest issue is that I dont have pots of money - would rather buy a second hand stainless if I can find one - though I'll keep it all original four into two if welding will fix it

Just reread the posts, yours sounds like an oil cooled motor and mine is for the aircooled ones, ET to EFE. Can you measure spacing of headers and post pix? Mine is a 4 into 1.

[gandy666]

yes is oil cooled.

apparently a GSXR 1100 will fit if I remove the centre stand and use hangers.
