Learn how to identify, install, and sound-test the GSX1300R 08-13 stainless right hand slip-on tail pipe for your Hayabusa.
Quick answer
For a 2008-2013 Hayabusa, the stainless right hand slip-on tail pipe is the connecting piece between the header and muffler. Verify your bike's year and side, then install it with the included hardware, checking alignment and sealing at each step.
Why the tail pipe matters
The tail pipe, sometimes called a mid-pipe, connects your muffler to the rest of the exhaust system. A correct fit ensures no exhaust leaks and proper sound output.
This specific part is for the right hand side of the GSX1300R 08-13. If your bike is a different year or you need the left side, the part will not fit correctly.
Sound expectations
The tail pipe itself does not change the sound; the muffler does. However, a properly sealed connection prevents exhaust leaks that can cause a tinny or raspy tone. Pair this tail pipe with a compatible Yoshimura muffler for the intended sound.
Installation steps
- Confirm fitment: Check that your motorcycle is a 2008-2013 GSX1300R and that you need the right hand side pipe. If unsure, call 800-634-9166 or email [email protected]. Mistake to avoid: ordering without verifying year and side.
- Prepare the bike: Let the exhaust cool completely. Loosen the clamp connecting the existing tail pipe to the muffler and header. Support the muffler so it does not hang. Checkpoint: ensure the bike is on a stable stand and the exhaust is cold.
- Remove the old tail pipe: Slide the old tail pipe off the header and muffler. Inspect the gaskets and mounting brackets for wear; replace if damaged. Mistake to avoid: reusing a worn gasket can cause leaks.
- Install the new tail pipe: Slide the new stainless right hand tail pipe onto the header, then attach the muffler. Align the pipe so it sits naturally without forcing. Tighten clamps evenly, but do not over-tighten. Checkpoint: verify the pipe does not contact the swingarm or bodywork.
- Test for leaks and sound: Start the engine and listen for exhaust leaks at the joints. Rev gently and check that the sound is consistent without rattles. If you hear a leak, re-tighten clamps or adjust alignment. Final check: confirm no exhaust fumes escape from the connections.
