'96 S1 had stainless headers and a black steel muffler. The parts in that craigslist link appear to be all one color, stainless, it would seem. All stainless, I believe, came in '98, if I'm not mistaken, but they should fit a '96 S1. | ||

Jayvee question for you If this guy has an issue mailing these would you be willing to pick them up and mail them i would gladly pay you for your time | ||

Rule of thumb is this: If you have a bike that had an "S-curve" shaped header, you need another "S-curve" shaped header.  S2's are unique. S1, early M2, and early S3, interchange. S1W and 98 S3 will fit, but since they're 2.5" they require a different muffler. "T" shaped headers (late M2, late S3, X1) will NOT fit. For example - an '01 M2L:  | ||

So this should fit it looks like mine i am calling him only hang up is if he will ship | ||
| S1owner |
That phone number does not work hopefully he calls me | ||

If the one in the CL ad is from an S1W, you'll need the header AND the muffler. S1W is a Thunderstorm engine, it will have a 2.5" collector. | ||
| S1owner |
Rat thats correct although the one in the ad looks like a 2" | ||
| Ratbuell |
I'm pretty sure if its a stainless muffler, it's a thunderstorm exhaust. Early S1: black painted muffler, 2". Same for early S3. Late S3 / S1W? Thunderstorm motor, stainless muffler, 2.5". | ||

Not true i have a stainless S1 muffler on my shop currently 2" and my header is stainless 2" and it is stock so i think there were options for stainless plus i have seen many others with 2" but nothin to argue about i hope his fits mine so i can ride | ||

My '97 S1 has a 2" stainless header and a steel muffler, I think. I didn't look at it too close. The muffler is in storage. Matt | ||

Ratbuell's description is the best I've seen so far the next time this question comes up we need to reference this answer. And it will just about every 6 months. | ||
| S1owner |
I agree rats is a dictionary of cross ref. Matt you have a header in storage  | ||
| Loose1 |
No, just the stock muffler. It has a v&h on it now. I got all the stock parts with it when I bought it. If I did have a spare one you would already have it. Matt | ||

I want stainless headers... sigh. | ||
| Blks1l |
That is a pretty good price, I think it look like it has the 2 1/2 inch collector. | ||
| S1owner |
If it has a 2.5 collector the sides that bolt to the engine are still the same correct i would just need to run this a 2.5 muffler? | ||
| Ratbuell |
Yes, the engine port spacing is the same. As a footnote to my "dictionary" above (lol) - all T headers are interchangeable, regardless of EFI (X1 / late S3) or carb (late M2, middle S3). The only difference is the bung in the rear head pipe for the O2 sensor. Drill and weld to add one on a carb pipe for an EFI bike; go to an auto parts store and get a plug when using an EFI pipe on a carb bike (or cut the wire off the sensor and leave the sensor in place as the plug). | ||

Thanks to Jayvee for all the help! If this is a 2.5" what should i expect to have to change jetting carb adjustments? | ||
| S1owner |
