It's for sale on the KZ Market. He's dropped it down to $200 firm. I would think it would make less power than stock pipes. :whistle:

Any info on who produced this exhaust? I can not tell from the pic but it appears there is what might be a logo on the megaphone. It leaves me with the impression that it is sort of a sidewinder, but that may just be the angle of the pic.

As to how well this type of system would work is hard to tell without some testing. I know the general rule of thumb indicates having equal length primaries with a collector is the way to go. But there is so much that goes into what exhaust gases are really doing. Anyway it is something I have not seen before.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf I had the right bike and situation, I'd be on this one if the seller had interest in considering a reasonable offer.

I believe the brand name on this "header" is Strader. I thought they went out of business years ago.

I think they also made a 3 into 1 for the 750 H2 triple. It was a joke. It signed off at 6,500 RPM like if you threw a light switch!!!!!!

Don't recall ever seeing that before. Looks like a cheap Drag Bike pipe Like a V/H pro or Murray Spider pipe? I assume the collector comes out up along frame for ground clearance? Turbo Guys should think about this for cutting it off and fabing up a turbo header.
