gsf600 slip on exhaust question
« on: August 15, 2007, 10:44:48 PM »
i've been told by multiple shops that with the bandit, you need both the exhaust can,and a link pipe, but online I've seen countless 'slip on pipes' that do not include a link pipe.

I own a 2002 600 and i know ive seen almost every brand of exhaust out there on bandits, so do these companies include the link pipe and i just didnt notice?

Not to sure about the 2002 model but the stock g1 mid pipe and muffler is all one piece.
Foot loose and fancy free.

The 2G 600 also has a welded mid pipe and can.

You can hacksaw the exisiting muffler off the mid pipe and install a slip-on, but then the old setup is completely lost. Otherwise you will need a midpipe as well as the slip-on muffler.
