Gs Collector box
hi, I am wondering for R100gs riders who changed their exhaust collector boxes for the Y piece, was it a good idea? if anyone held onto the collector box and want to sell it. I am willing to buy it and pay postage.

I changed my collector box on my r80 basic after it rotted out. No issues with it other than having to fettle the bash plate to make it fit.

I have had a stainless Keihan Y piece on my R80GS for about 15 years and no problems.

I traded my y-pipe for a collector-box, it killed midrange.
There are a few designs of the y-pipe, some might work better then other.

I had this Y-pipe on my R100GS, Performed as well as the stock collector.
Y-stuk R80/100GS speciaal RVS E-Keur - BMW Boxer Supplies Some of the other types don't have the same 2-into-1 design which effects the gas flow from each of the cylinders causing poor running. BMW Boxer Supplies is also a great place for R80G/S and R100GS upgrades, very good service too. (I've spent far too much there over the years)

I have the Keihan downpipes (without crossover), y piece and silencer. No problems with the engine tuning. I don't expect there to be a power difference, but I'm guessing that it is a lighter setup. The R100GSPD is such an underpowered fat pig of a bike, any reduction in weight is welcome.

I can also recommend that online shop. I've had excellent service from them, posting to the UK. Boxxerparts is also a very good German online company. I think both of them are a bit cheaper than UK based companies.
