What kind of exhaust is this?

Interesting for the POS 1978 KZ1000 I picked up has that exact same exhaust... Even rusted like yours... :blink: :laugh: :laugh: Anyhoot, I was under the impression it was an old Kerker.

One thing interesting is the head coupling where the exhaust plate is tacked to the risers. The other thing is the rectangular and slotted rear mounting configuration.

What about an old Hooker pipe... Possibly that's what these are?

The old Hookers had a unique cross-over...see photo.

Look at that sweeeeeeet Yoshi. I want another one ssooooo bad.

I would say that that collector pipe is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY overkill. Those were great on the drag strip at wide open. They however get loud and a bit unresponsive on the street. That is why I took the one off my GPz1100. What I want to do is to make a new "Yoshi stile" tail pipe for my old Kerker header.

"Look at that seeeeeeet Yoshi. I want another one ssooooo bad. "... I know, I know....

Just thankful I bought my Kerker when I did for I only paid $500 for it and they're now going for $750... :ohmy: Then there's as Jeff posted, going to stop production on them for KZ's.... That Sucks!

Ah well, will be getting back to that project soon, had to get all my research and calculations accomplished first...

Thanks to everyone that sent me exhaust measurements to study off of...

OMR

Measurement of mine.


The only numbers or letters I found are on the clamp.
Fivestar MFG Chesthill IL 200 67 328

"The only numbers or letters I found are on the clamp."..

On the clamp itself or in the clamp area?
If clamp area, on the top or bottom side after the 4-1 collector?

Also, see a difference in the last 7" region pre exhaust canister... look how your coupler enlarges versus our pipe... Hmmm, interesting but should be the same manufacturer due to exhaust rectangular mounting and in the exhaust flanges being tacked in place....

Ok, so what's the consensus, old Kerker or what the hell is this thing..... :S :laugh:

OMR

It is on the clamp. Could be just clamp MFG.
