Depends on what they look like. I believe the LTD came with with 4-2 (two 2-1) pipes but there are also period aftermarket pipes that were the same layout but different designs.

Should be 4 into 4 but those are getting hard to find. They are making "new" 4 into 4 sets but man those things are expensive. Regards, Tim

Original KZ900-B1 LTD came with a chrome 4 into 2 Jardine exhaust system.

Thereafter, Kawasaki produced its own 4 into two exhaust systems for various models, some of which were "black" chrome.

Good Fortune! :)

so They are Jardine pipes...from an LTD correct?...either way I will probably put a 4 into 1 pipe on it cause it's been bored to 1000cc. bigger carbs, etc..
