To me, it would make sense to plan the build first then buy the parts. Providing u are starting a whole new build. This way u would purchase each part for a specific rpm range, and riding style. in the end u would have parts that generally work together.
With a motor that is already built. all u can do is decide where it likes to run and continue that path with future parts purchases, or start collecting parts that will get u were u want to go.
as far as trying every pipe under the sun? I don’t think there is going to be a huge dif from pipe to pipe unless u take 1 from each end of the spectrum. shot large primaries VS long narrow primaries.
I am interested in collecting data so i can make educated guesses without buying and trying every pipe out there.
personally i think my combo is fine. but in the interest of playing around , i will always try dif things. If i wanted a huge gain i would need a new bike. lets face it these old girls are dog slow compared to a new zx10.

Carry on Mark!

Makes me wish Id taken a picture of the last Z1 I bought. It had a car glass pak driven up inside the collector of an old Kerker that had the bottoms of the pipes just about smashed completely flat, couldnt have been more then 1/2 inch thick at the most. But when you find a $400 Z1 these days you dont worry too much about minor details like the exhaust. I sure like to find a set of those police engine header flanges, I like them ! I have 2 Kerkers, an RC and a home made pipe that has to be removed to change the filter, nicely built though.

I thought it may be a good idea to document all of the 4 into 1 headers that were produced for the Z1. Here is a preliminary list, this could get HUGE as it seemed everyone with a tubing bender and welder had their version!

Alphabet
Bassani
Denco
Hooker
Jardine
Kerker
Mac
Murray
RB Racing
RC Engineering
Vance/Hines
Winning Performance
Bill Wirges
Yoshimura


Poking through the ads in the back of some old magazines would probably double the size of this list.

Thats a good job! Add the Star pipe, from Star Racing. It was big, a long time ago.
