Is this a Denco?

Need some help from the exhaust gurus on here, I just bought a '75 Z1 with a left hand exit 4-1 on it that has no brand stamp or markings that I've found. Sounds good, anybody know if it's a Denco or what brand it might be?

Yes, Denco did 4 strokes as well as their killer 2 strokes.That pipe doesn't look like a Denco to me but I've been wrong once before lol.Look for Denco stamped into the back of the megaphone hanger bracket.

I agree with Jack. It looks alot like a Denco but the rear reverse cone looks too long for a Denco. I didn't know about the Denco stamp on the rear of the mount though. I have what I thik is a Denco on a bike in the shed and will have to check it out.

Idont know about the header pipe but the muffler looks like
a hooker muffler.
1982 KZ1000 P1 23000 Mi.it was in police service for 22 yrs.I think it
spent most its life parked.It has some battle scars but is corrosion free and spotless.It was decommisioned
with 14000 Mi. What a sweet ride!!

I know this is a long shot but do you still have the pipe and would you sell it or trade it for a stainless 4 into 1

Yes I agree.
I bought mine new in 1979 and they are still on my bike after 35 years... Sorry they are dirty,., I have not had a chance to take them off for cleaning yet this year.
Here is what the standard Denco Hi-Po street pipes with the factory muffler/baffle look like....











I give up.... can't get them to rotate so 'F' it.
