i dont know about the quality/performance of their motorcycle exhausts BUT S+S exhausts on air cooled vw's is top notch stuff. i had an s+s dual aluminum silencer system on a 210hp dual carbed 2500cc bug motor.


After checking around to try to find out more about S&S, I emailed the company and they replied with this...

    "We sold the S&S motorcycle line to Jardine Headers about 1980 & he sold out to Inter Am. The only bike headers we make now are Private Label for other companies. We also make Mini-Sprint headers for Circle Track Cars with bike engines."


So, there you have it...

I have heard of Jardine but not Inter Am. I don't know that Jardine's reputation for quality was/is stellar, but maybe somebody else could comment on that...

That's for the 750, but they do offer a 500 pipe (not 550, though). The 500 pipe is the lower right. And they have another one that looks a lot like the Kerker Exhaust for the 500.

ok, some one want to field this question:
the difference between the two (500/550) exhaust systems
is what?

As far as I know, if it fits a 500 then it fits a 550. 71-78 should be interchangeable, I believe.

Hey all, real new here and looking up all kinds of stuff for my 550.
Has anyone ran into or purchased Swarbrick 4 into 4 exhaust from the UK?
They show 500/4 pipes...
Looks like the real deal if attainable.

The bottom two marving exhaust shown above will fit the 550.  i am ordering the bottom left exhaust for $335 shipped.  It is there racing exhaust set up!  The black one is around $450 I think.

what exhaust set up nets the most power? 4-4/4-2/4-1? I had a feeling the 4-1 is best for making power is that correct?

i've wondered that myself. i'm sure it's the lightest, therefor it would "feel" more powerful when you twist the grip few to the power to weight ratio

yes its lighter that allways helps. i know the 2-1 on big twins is the best way to make power. the guy who diald in my harley kept pushing me to get one but i find them ugly on harleys so i went with a differnt set up. im curious if its the same with a 4-1
