I want to keep the stock look of the exhaust but want more sound. I have heard a 2021 Katana with the breadbox removed and stock muffler. Perfect sound level to me.
The guy said he had a "Servo Buddy" installed with a delete pipe. I found the delete pipe but have not found a Servo Buddy for the the GT. I did find the Healtech ESE-S04 unit but I have not found any USA stock. I can get it from Europe and Australia but the shipping is HIGH. Anyone else with a 2022 GSXS 1000, GT, or Katana do this upgrade? Any ideas on getting one of servo delete units? I am not ready to do the tune... yet.

Thanks. My wife made them for me.

I ordered some HealTech parts just a couple weeks ago directly from their website.

Shipped via Fedex directly from Hungary to California, $25. Received one week after placing the order.

Hi my bro where is the breadbox by the way please?

re-reading this and what you’re after. I would recommend not deleting the exhaust valve. Most link pipes are also made to keep the valve. So you would cut the stock pipe right after the valve. That would remove catalytic converter and silencer box, all while keeping the exhaust valve, which helps the bike running better at low rpm, has better torque response.

as you have a GT, I’m assuming hp figures is likely not ALL you’re after. keeping the exhaust valve for a better running bike is in your interest. disabling this valve on most bikes makes the low end torque miserable if it is not tuned appropriately.

if what you’re after is a better sounding bike without having to go on the whole mission of exup delete, block off plates, tune etc. I think the solution above is your best bet.

If you look under the bike you can’t miss it.

Thanks for the response. The 2022 and later bikes have the exhaust valve just before the silencer. (After the breadbox). We have now tested the bike with and without the exhaust valve in place. No noticeable difference in performance on the bottom end. As I am going with a full exhaust, a servo buddy was needed as I was not going to tune the bike right away. I have now changed course and will be tuning at the same time.
