F650GS 08 Exhaust

I'm considering replacing my exhaust to make more space for panniers.
Has anyone done this? Or does anyone have any advice on what other exhausts have been effective?

Metal Mule do a good quality pannier system and exhaust, which is all a bit narrower than just bolting panniers on with a standard exhaust in situ. Its not cheap, but is good stuff and the exhaust sounds a bit better too. Have these fitted to my 800GS and it has taken a lot of knocks through Africa but all still good, bar the odd dent and scrapes inflicted.

Metal Mule

The Metal mules look great, and they seem to take care of everything. I'm just not sure if my budget will stretch that far
Maybe its time for a second job :P
Any other more cost effective suggestions?

Thanks guys
