Are all Triples exhaust the same size? One fits all?

Post by odbuffalo »

I found a set of 3 into 3 chambers and the guy says they fit all Suzuki triples. True?

Thanks again.

I don't have the specs, but all three have different size exhaust ports. Did you buy it?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

I have a 550 jug here. The exhaust port measures 52mm (2.047). Maybe others with 380's and 750's will measure and post.

Anyone have the GT380 port size, Im going to guess 50MM since the set I have are too small to be the 750 maybe just a pinch less than the 52mm. They look to be right around 2 inches on the outside and 1.5/8 dia. on the inside.

I had the opportunity to compare H2Ricks 76 GT550 pipes against the Buffalos and theres a big difference, so the answer is NO to 750 and 550 pipes being the same.
The 380 ones look smaller than the 550 ones as well from photos, so again its highly possible those wont work on a 550 either.
Three sets of pipes for three types of bike seems to be the norm.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

I haven't measured the pipes, but did take a quick look at the gasket part numbers - each one has its own part numbers (GT380 is 14181-18010, GT550 is 14181-34010 and GT750 is 14181-15010) - and I do know that the GT550 pipes are smaller than the GT750's as Allan has also mentioned. So to your question - I'm also thinking 'no'. 8)

Those pipes look too short to be GT750. Of course looks can be deceptive, but that's how I'm seeing them. So that would suggest 380 or 550.

How are they held into the exhaust port? That looks like a large external circlip there. What does that do?
