Hey all just wondering if anyone knows if/where I could get a decent Quality Headers/exhaust for the GSX14,
IN Australia...!!
All I can find is Delkevic look ok but only down pipes and slip-on not full exhaust. Might have to get that mines a K7-5/2008 so one sided.
Not sure what's available now, but the two quality performance full systems for a 14 have traditionally been the Yoshimura Cyclone or the Akrapovic.
Love my full akro but depends on the bike.
I reckon the carbon akro can goes great with my black bike, but a chrome yoshi system looks best on a blue/white. Either way you can't go wrong.
Get a full system though not just a slip-on. I am unsure re the Yoshi, but a note that with the full akro system you can no longer have the centre stand fitted.
They are expensive so the best way to get a full system is to find some sucker who has already paid the $$$ for it, and buy the bike from them in the first place eh
@Bov :cool:
Yeah, Hoping for something made in Aus, Yoshi & Akro aren't available as far as I know and there $3000+ with post I'd say, F-That I'm too cheap for that Lol.
Wow, didn't know that akrapovic was that dear. My K3 cost me 5k to buy, it has a full akrapovic system, didn't know it was 60% of the value of the bike.
Makes sense then to find a complete bike with one already fitted
And no. Mine is NOT for sale
Had a look today, no supply of Akra or Yoshi. Around $2500 before,prob more when back, expensive. Tri Oval end can over a grand. Mate got Black Widow stuff for his Yamaha, seemed good quality. A full system from them for 14, UK, around $830 seems a good price. Full stainless. Thats posted price. Check my figures and no idea if a good product, others will know. Looks good. Just an option Yeti. https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/gsx1400--4-1-full-exhaust-system--300mm-oval-stainless-carbon-tip-silencer-11529-p.asp
Have not heard anything bad about BW, our UK friends may know more. Have you checked if Delkevic do a full system? Their slip ons are great, I'm thinking of one for my K1300GT, around 380 bucks delivered and appear decent quality too.
Edit: just found this: https://delkevic.com.au/Suzuki/GSX1400%20/2004/suzuki-gsx1400-4-into-2-stainless-steel-downpipes-2001-2004-headerpipes.html?search=
Where are you located
@Yetiman ?
In Brisbane Pipmasters do custom exhausts, I can highly recommend Peter 👍👍
Yeah Delkevic don't do the center part only the down pipes and slip-on for the single sided set-up but will ring them tomorrow to confirm,
I'm in Wagga-Wagga NSW at the moment, I'm moving back to Sydney/Bowral in a year I have 5-acres and house I rented out while I had work down here.

I bought full Akra from Australia ... postage was terror. :grin:
Never been convinced that, despite their astronomical prices, yoshi or akropovic are any better exhausts than the likes from delkevic or black widow. A non cat bike system is very simple and straightforward after all. I don't get paying 4x the price for something that won't perform any better, looks aside and perhaps build quality of course
Totally agree French. My Yoshi can is best ive had, got it for free, love it. As for buying, top 2 get all good reviews, Black Widow at over 2 G cheaper, Know what id choose.Not sure why new header pipes needed, collecter box and can only. Otherwise spend on big fellas, Cyclone or Akra.
Aren't the Headers Double skinned even on the newer K7mod with the S/S down pipes so very restrictive?

All model OEM header pipes are double skinned.
Give Tranzac exhausts a call ... they do a 4-2-1 system for the 1400 according to their web site.
Not totally sure, think bloke who ran Bris Motorcycle Exhaust Professionals is now Pipework Techniques at Yatala. Hes brilliant, will make whatever you want. I have a Can of his i used for yrs, top quality stuff.
