go for it, someone posted they had it and it was a little loud. 180 for ss 3" is worth it and if you dont like it you could always switch out the mufflers on it.

Yes it will fit. All of the GS300/400/430 share the same catback exhaust.

seems like some cheap stuff, prob will crack or just rust after the first rain, i would suggest staying away from this kinda stuff, if you want an exhaust spend the extra money. plus i dnt think even a 430 needs 3 inch piping. mait mess with the back pressure, and then you ll just be slower and sound ****tier. just my opinion.

If you have an issue with this system, it will most likely be that the mufflers will not line up perfectly in the bumper tip cutouts, both may not be equally spaced when looking directly from the rear..

The other two typical problems with cheap exhaust is the flanges may have warped some during welding and not seal perfectly with the gasket. And although it is stainless steel, they may still rust out due to either a low grade stainless used in the piping, or improper wire used in the welding process, in which the welds will rust out first.

But for $180 if it last 2 years and falls apart, you got your money's worth.

And it's probably going to be super loud for sure, so you may want the silencers if you can find some to fit it.

Post up when you get it on.
