Aftermarket exhaust for GS1100....

[gsclarkie]

Hi All, I have a 1998 GS1100 with the standard exhaust system fitted. It's all in excellent condition but I keep hearing that one of the best mods is to fit a Remus Revolution end can to replace the original and collector box. Any thoughts/experiences that could assist me make up my mind

Look forward to hearing from you.....!

All the best Clarkie

I bought a Remus viper 2 spout end can and pipe for mine, sounds awesome....i love it, and would do the remus line again if i had to.

hi clarkie, ive a gs1100 95 model n ive a remus revolution fitted , sounds realy low n deep like an old cestner fighter.
runs ok apart from the od pop on the rerun.. tryed a few cat code links. suposedly for mine . not much difference, still does 200 to the tank.

welcome ugg.

 

[gsclarkie]

Thanks very much guys, that settles it then...!! The Remus it is.
Funny enough, went out earlier on and saw same year/model with a Remus on and sounded lovely!!
Thanks again and have a great week, all best regards,

Clarkie

Remus may sound lovely ( not so lovely if you ever use it for long tours), but your far better off keeping the standard system.

 

[PIGGLET]

I'll have your original exhaust if you want it out of the way

 

[gsclarkie]

Hi Steptoe, that's interesting mate, are you saying that there is a noise issue or a fuel economy issue with the bike having a Remus fitted over a long journey? I'd be interested in your thoughts. Hear from you soon perhaps,

Cheers, Clarkie.

It's just the constant drone from it,and it's a pain in the butt for anyone following you for any length of time.

Leave it nice and standard

 

[(RIP) Kaister]

I've had a remus titanium system and not been worried about the noise - i couldn't hear it above 70 anyway.

Now i've got a Laser system on this 1100 and its not as noisy, yet is still almost baffleless.

I much prefer aftermarket than standard

 

[gsclarkie]

Well, now I am confused ...my standard system is in lovely condition and there's no real reason to change it...could spend the money on some other mods I suppose but there's just something quite....well....leafblowerlike about the sound of the exhaust as is....bugger it, I'll give it some more thought then, thanks for your help so far....

Don't be confused Clarkie, just do what you want to. I put a Lasor pipe and chip on my 1100 a long time back. Love the sound and the occasional backfire on the overrun. I don't notice any noise unless I really open it up and if its a pain in the butt for anyone following for any length of time, well thats their problem. They could always overtake.

 

[richie]

Had a Lazer on mine, sounded good. Made absolutely no other difference to anything else.

Keep the original....Give the money to a charity of att's choice

 

[gsclarkie]

You're absolutely right, it's my choice after all. I think I'll stick with the original for now and put the money towards a new set of ally panniers ready for my trip to Italy next year. Thanks again to all those who had their say and helped me come to a conclusion
Safe riding everyone....!

I tried a few exhausts on my 1100. The only one that ran ok and didn't drive me mad on a long run was a remus with the balance box, lovely sound and smooth running. Keep your original one though and save your cash for something else.
