BMW R100GS Exhausts?
Anyone recommend a supplier of replacement exhaust systems in the UK? Not necessarily BMW. Possibly stainless steel.
------------------ |
Keihan should be available from Motobins and are good, or direct from Keihan.
http://www.keihan.co.uk/ Tell em we sent ya! Also from Australia, Staintune exhausts are very good. http://www.blue-job.co.uk/ ------------------ Grant Johnson Seek, and ye shall find. ------------------------ One world, Two wheels. www.HorizonsUnlimited.com |
Pro duro also do a s/s one (have one on mine) seems just fine. Laser make them I believe. Keihan are a top product too mind
|
I have the Laser ProDuro, which seems fine. It has a small amount of rust after over 30,000 miles and two winters. It makes a nice noise, a bit like an angry camel, if that's the sort of thing that you like.

can you do away with the collector box on the R100GS and put a pipe which is straight through with a remus silencer or simular?
It's just they don't sound very good and I think a beefier exhaust note may do the trick. |
Yes, You can leave out the collector box and go with a simple 'y' into the muffler. I have this setup on my bike, exiting through a supertrapp exhaust (now if you want sound, there's a way to go.....). Just be warned that the collector box is there for a reason, and you may expereince a loss of mid-range or other exhaust related tuning foibles. I am still messing with the jetting on my bike. The sound is good but requires ear plugs for any ride past 15 minutes. Yes, I saved some weight as well.

Thanks for ,er,exhaustive replies.. Will probably go for one of the more conventional solutions thus saving eardrums! Thanks.
