I guess what you are looking for is something like this turbo header and intermediate pipe ? I think unfortunately you would need to have it fabricated as I don't think there is an off the shelf item for a 750 ?

thanks for the answer but thats not quite wat i was lookin for ... I've seen them on drag bikes and they just go to the right side and go straight into a collector i need to pull a pic out and paste it. and i'm willing to get one for another bike and weld my head mounts on them.

Ah I know what you mean, I think they are called "sidewinders". Only issue I see is they are "drag" inspired and will have very restricted clearance on right hand bends

Nobody ever made a sidewinder that fits a KZ750. You can get one for a KZ1000 and modify it to fit, but it requires some work.

You may be better off finding a MAC 4 into 2 system, they fit up closer and they made those to fit 650/750 engines. The 4 into 1 collector on the side is taller than the 4 into 2 system. Like Wookie mentioned you can't really corner with those.

Below is my bike with a MAC 4 into 2, that bike is lowered by 1" on both ends but it could go lower. You can also cut out the seat foam and get it a lot lower, can easily get another 1-1/2" or more out of the seat.

 

Most of the lowering you see in that drag bike picture is coming from suspension and seat lowering, the exhaust is out there because the oil pan is only 3" off the pavement (legal race minimum height) The use 3" static because of rider weight and fork give. When your riding it's more like 2-2-1/2"

man I feel blessed I also have had several vmax's but I have been a kaw man ever since I got an h2 triple by accident. I was looking for a kz1000 and I was working at my parents gas station and had went through all the adds in the newspaper and a guy that worked there at the time was a guy about 21 or so and he lived in a trailer with his wife and 4 kids and he seen I was upset cause I couldnt find a bike. SO he ask me if I would want a 750 kaw instead of the 1000 and he said it would only be $100 cause that is wat he owed his friend on it and his wife told him he couldn't have it anymore so his friend told him when he brought it back that it would sit in that garage till he come to get it cause it was his cause he was his friend and thats the way it was ..... so he told me it is going to sit there and go to waste if i didnt get it... he said go with me and act like you are goin to work on it for me and if you like the bike just wink and i will give him the money and the bike is yours ..... So I couldnt turn that down so i thought it was a 750 4cyl and i was thinking i hope its in really good shape or i'll have to pass so imagine the look on my face when i pulled up the garage dor at the friends house and what did I see ????    a GLITTER PINK  h2 triple 2 stroke in perfect shape with 3500 miles on it and it was a European model bored out oem but I was confused why and who painted it a terrible pink with a rattle can .... So of course I winked and bought it and on the ride back to work I asked wat was with the paint lol..../  He laughed and said "well you know my wife and my kids " and i said of course I love them all they are great and he grinned and said " you wouldn't think so if you had been there the day i brought it home and she said i dont care what coller you paint it and if you put me and the babys name all over it if you think your keeping that bike you will be living with it without your family ... now she will be so happy you got it cause she knows you well enough that you will ride it till its not able to run anymore and i will never get a chance to get hurt on it so we are both happy you got it . and i was 18 and i kept it till i was 42 and cried like a baby when i traded it for a bunch of parts new to fix my j model kz and it is the biggest regret in my life.. my thing i loved about that h2 the most was the first time i rode it i got off work that evening after buying it and i cleaned the carbs and tank and started it but couldnt ride it i was the only person at the gas station and i fianally got off and i was used to kz1000 and i was on the i10  and it vwas 55mph at the time and i was crousing along in 4 and crambed it in 2 and hammered it and she stood up like she didn't like that front tire at all and our love affair went from there and I miss her more than any woman i have ever been with and I would trade my kz and my 5.9 magnum 5spd  tunnel ram dakota and my honda rukus for that h2 w3ithout any regret BUT lets get back to the 750 ltd after the h2 got o0ld and needed the crank seals changed it was put inside and i had a couple shops i opened and had all kinds of bikes to ride but i took a kz750 ltd 1980 for a trade for an old sportster and of all the bikes i had 200-300 I kept that kz cause i worked at a biker bar and pushed many a bike back to that bar with that kz and it was the easiest bike i ever owned that would ride on one wheel just as smooth as if it knew i missed that h2 and it played second fiddle and then forward 15 yrs and losing my leg from a drnk driver and all those yrs never layed a bike down on the street ever and i rode as much as i drove but the numbers caught up and after the acc i had been building vmaxs and running them at the track and that was over instint ly and when i woke up 3 weeks later the first words were where is my bike.. and my sweet daughter knew me so well she had it towed and filled with oil at my shop and the first time i was able to hop around i bought another vmax and rode it for a while and it was just to heaqvy to ride with one leg so i sold it and kept my drag vmax i built for the track but all i had to ride was a ruckus so i built me aq bad ass dakota and then i was scrolling through fb and there she was  A 1980 KZ750H1 LTD with 3k on it for $350 just been sitting in storage needed a tank and tires and carbs cleaned and now you know wat this bike means to me and i want to make it easy for me to ride so i can enjoy it again ... and I have been cause i can sit on it and pick it off the stand and i have a pvc pipe to flip up the stand and i made a custom shifter till i get an electric and the greatest joy i have riding it is the looks i get at red lights when the car to the left of me realizes that I am missing my leg and the light turns green and i ride off while they are still at the light trying to believe wat they just seen lol
