Old header i.d. help please was created by tsm3rdz
So I have the old header off of my bike (76 kz900) and I thought about selling it but I have no idea what it is or what it's worth. All I have is what is in the pics; no midpipe or muffler. Apparently the p.o. liked it really loud:unsure:





Anyhow any help identifying this and giving me some idea of what it might be worth would really help.

Thanks
Ben

An old MAC...I have one very similar but in chrome:) and if it is a MAC, it ain't worth much...but old MACs are nicer than the new MACs

I appreciate your input guys. If it is an older mac, any way to just order a midpipe and muffler for it somewhere or will something else fit it? I'm getting the idea it might not even be worth selling:)

Looks to me like an old Kerker designed to clear the oil filter on KZ's and GPZ's. The pipe had an intermediate extension that connected to the exhaust cannister.

The pipe on the left is the MAC...on the right is a V&H for comparison...Kerker's have a much longer midpipe after the collector...the muffler is no longer made but it will appear on eBay...all things do:)

Looks like an old mac to me. Any pipe can be made to fit. I had a pipe and can off of a zx6 on mine.
