An upgraded exhaust not only boosts your GS’s performance but also enhances its distinctive growl. Here’s what you need to know.

Types of Exhaust Systems

Slip-on, full system, and aftermarket headers each provide different benefits and challenges.

Consider weight, sound regulations, and tune requirements when choosing.

Installation Basics

Prepare by identifying mounting hardware and following safety precautions on a warm-down bike.

Carefully remove stock components and install upgraded parts secure against vibrations.

Tuning and Performance Testing

Adjust fuel mapping to complement exhaust changes and optimize power output.

Monitor for any irregular sounds or loss of performance after installation.

Legal and Environmental Considerations

Check local noise and emission laws to ensure your upgrade complies.

Opt for systems with catalytic converters if required.
