Exhaust??

[beccagz250]

Where can I find an exhaust for my bike? I cant find the original one anywhere. Any suggestions? Any certain brand better to use?? :??: ...Thanks

Depending what you are looking for there are several aftermarket universal mufflers that can be purchased cheaply.You have to cut your original muffler off,so going back if you want can be a real pain.Check under "HOW TO" for lots more info. :2tup: :rawk:

You could order it online, for instance from mrcycles.com (not affiliated, I ordered from them once).

Select "Suzuki", then "2000", "GZ250", then select "muffler".

Did you mention this in another post earlier.....like what is wrong with the one you have now ???

Or, why do you want/need a different one ??

I'm sure a Suzuki dealer would be happy to sell you one......for LOTS of $$$$.

Are you looking in places like Ebay and Craigs List ??

Have you looked here in "Bike Parts for Sale" ??
A request there (parts wanted is allowed) might even bring some results.

Im still waiting on that one to post pics of the Screaming Eagle exhaust they said they had. Forget the thread it was now.

I will be posting my screaming eagle pics this weekend......sounds loud....but keeps you safe...and it looks way better than the stock muffler.

I really would like pics and even the parts numbers used if possible. Thanks!

Here is the link to the exhaust I bought on ebay.

Wow, was it as easy as they want it to sound like?! And is the sound much better? I pulled my bike in the garage last night, turned it off, removed my headphones and thought it was still running.....here my neighbor was mowing his lawn. LOL

I ride with a bunch of Harleys and I can't even hear my bike run.

I dont think thats a screaming eagle exhaust. :poke2:

[Easy Rider]

......sounds loud....but keeps you safe...

That's mostly BS.

The extra sound projects toward the BACK of the bike. Only a tiny portion of bike accidents are riders being hit from behind.....and most of those are while stopped.
The extra noise does virtually nothing to alert drivers ahead or to the sides.

Loud pipes risk rights.

Me neither.

And I just like loud pipes, it's only good for annoying the neighbors.

Nobody asked so I will. What is wrong with the exhaust system you have on the bike now ?

Oops. See reply #3. :biggrin:

Didn't get an answer, however.

when i brought my bike home from the person i got it from, after changing the oil and whatnot, i had it running and was adjusting the idle... i gave it a few revs, and my boyfriend was getting blasted with rust bits flying out of the exhaust... also after revving it, it backfires and pops upon deceleration... so im assuming the internal components of the exhaust are probably rotten apart...

I think that is a reasonable assumption.
Good for you. :tup:

Becca I wouldn't worry too much about grunge in the muffler. What ever blows is just surface rust and some other unneeded crap. I would suggest checking to make sure the weep hole for the exhaust system is clear. it is a very small hole just ahead of the muffler that allows moisture to seep out to prevent rusted out pipes. Maybe some one will post a pic for you to see. I would but we no longer have a GZ to model.

[beccagz250]

That hole is clear, at first I thought it was an exhaust leak but then realized that it was the weep hole

[Water Warrior 2]

I would just ride it and wait to see if the muffler blows it's guts out. Probably not so just ride and enjoy the bike.

Hey there all - just thought I might put my 2 cents in...

For starters, I am guessing that the bike must sound much different from behind than it does from on top, because mine is stock, and I like the sound of it. It's no Harley sound, but then again, it's no Harley, and I don't particularly like when bikes are obnoxiously loud. So as far as that part goes, I am pretty much with Easy Rider - not so sure why it's such a big deal. I mean, anyone who knows the slightest bit about bikes isn't going to be fooled into thinking it's a shovelhead or something from the exhaust sound! Lol :neener:

As far as the backfiring and popping - couldn't that also be from a misadjusted carb? Lord knows I am no master mechanic, so I could be totally off here, but seems if I remember from when I was young and had an old beater I could work on myself, that we used to get the thing to backfire/not backfire by adjusting the carb. What do you think people - is it a possibility?

And if that were the case, the rust would just be due to sitting with moisture in it, and unrelated to the backfiring. Just my thoughts.

Good point Kev. Moister in the muffler will definitely breed rust. That is one reason not to do shorter rides. Always try to get in a longish ride that will really warm up the entire exhaust system and dry the innards. Also a mighty fine excuse to take the long way home from an errand. 200 kms works well for me.
