Interested in this system. I like the looks of a balanced exhaust with a muffler on each side. this looks Kerker ish. I don't like turnouts.

It's a nice system. Easy install. Perfect fit. The standard baffles are just right not too loud not too tame. The only thing missing would be spring brackets between the headers and the middle connectors for a more secure fit but I am not experiencing any troubles.

Headpipes look extremely similar to the old Jardine 180⁰ 4/2 system referred to in the recent Delkvic thread. The collector pipes & silencers are very different though.

With the Jardine system you cut off the old mufflers and slid the new ones on. I traded for the cross over head pipes and they went right on. Much better system than shown. Not only did I not see any performance gain, the V/H blued at startup. Should never let them go when I scrapped my son's GS 750 E. It's still at Sam's Cycle with the valve cover and carbs hanging off. I paid $20 to get the V/H street baffle back I put on so he could ride it. It's a shame. It was a nice bike but he was too lazy to do the work himself and let it sit open 10 years.
After the wreck I ordered new Jardine slip on baffles. The owner of the shop I was working at ordered the side draft without telling me because they were cheaper and I HATED THEM. I quit that shop because of his shady dealings and went back to pounding nails.
The Jardine's were about $60-80 a piece but when I went to buy some in 98 they were $200! :angry:
That's when I bought the V/H system. It's not the same bike anymore. :(

Those look much like the stock system that came stock on the (K)Z650 SR models.

I purchased mine from Z1 Enterprise. Great service and fast shipping.

I also saw them on Web bike Japan.
