What's up with this guy??
10 Sep 2008 21:01
X-pipe for a GPz750 on eBay
The pics just show a box, and there is a BIN of $200. I've sent the seller two messages asking for pictures of the actual pipes. The last message (two days ago) I sent even stated my intention to buy the pipe as long as it's in new condition, but I need to see pics of the actual pipe to verify it's condition.
Still no pics.
Ok, now I'm suspicious, fixed price listing and I've stated that I'll buy it if the seller sends me pics, and seller is no longer responding. I'm starting to think he's either selling an empty box, or the pipe looks so bad that he don't want anyone to see it.
Weird :dry:

Yep, Kawsakiman's look better 
He lowered the price to $175, but they still didn't sell. If it hadn't been for the rust I'd have bought them.

You're supposed to change the oil?? :woohoo:
On a more serious note, aren't there several brands of aftermarket pipes that must be removed to change the oil and filter?

You know something we don't? As in, seen a valid dyno chart comparing these pipes against some well known brand, on a KZ? Or do you have personal experience with the Campbell X-Pipes?
Always looking for more info
I already have 3 or four sets of 4 into 1 headers for the 750 four, so it's not like I'm desperate or anything, I'd just like to get something that makes the most power in the same rpm range as the rest of my motor.
And, since I haven't gotten around to assembling my 750 four motor yet, even that is shooting in the dark

No I dont know any thing, or have any experience with them making more power or things like that.
I do know that when i was looking for an exhaust system for my 650, that would have been a good option price wise. Pretty much a new setup for less than two hundred.
I ended up snagging is bad boy for less than half of that x pipe. Used but pretty decent shape.
