Not sure what it is...I have a old MAC, Kerker, V&H, and Bassani and it is none of those. The geometry of the header pipes is not right for any of the above, but the moveble flanges are similar to some recent MACs and Datona pipes. The megaphone is also similar to MACs but even old MACs had a different hanger style than yours. Note the following period pictures (1978)...

Two things, McDroid thanks so much for posting those pics now I know I have a Daytona pipe in my basement and didn't know they had so many choices.
And Otokar,
It looks exactly like a basani but my friend has a basani pipe too and his doesn't have the flanges on the end. Those flanges by the way I think put extra stress on the exhaust studs.
When I got my bike from California it had a broken stud on number one right by the frame. I liked the sound of it but I was told that that design makes it easy for the exhaust studs to break. Seeing as how mine was already broken I tend to believe that statement. Jeff at z1 said the same but he was referring to the mac pipe I believe. Anyway until today I realize now that pipe is a Daytona pipe. So thanks again.

Thank you, McDroid.
I am interested in to see full article.
None of those in picture doesn't look like the one I got. I guess, just have to find 3 1/2 baffle and put it in.

otakar,
I looked into Bassani, i couldn't find in at least what they have now.

this must be really old pipe.:S

ty,
if those are basani pipes, you have one of the best exhaust that you could put on the bike. They sound awesome and they are a copy of the yoshimura pipe I have been told. If they are go and spend the money to get them ceramic coated. People would give their unborn children to have a basani. Or at least so I have been told. I am just happy they still make vance and kerker pipes. Amazing at the varieties of pipes they used to make!

Thanks, saxjonz.
That is interesting. I have to wait till Saturday, but i will look carefully again to see i can find any stamped # or something.
Sounds like it could be Bassani, MAC or Kerker so far.
A couple more picture.
