    Exhaust opinions

    I was just wanting to get some opinions on this exhaust system.





    To me, it looks like a nice combo between spagetti's and a 4-2-1.

      Remember those instant oil change machines?

      - - - they'd suck the old oil out of your dipstick hole so you didn't have to crawl under the vehicle to undo the plug & drain it. Seems like the genius who designed that set of pipes musta had one of those.
      Or perhaps he wanted his bike to be mistaken for a race-bike and held the exhaust on with little springs so it'd come off quick? No effin' way a person could do an oil change with those four close-set drains in the way.
      Apart from that, they'll work just fine.

        It's not for an xs, but it may still be a pain on the KZ, too. However, I was more curious about the design.

          does not look like a "performance" part...
