X pipes/Cross pipes

Does anyone know any manufacturer that still makes or has made in the past X or crossed 4 into to pipes for the 900's or 1000's. Every now and then I have seen a set on Ebay. I just missed out on one of unknown make that was going for $175 and I'm kicking myself!
So far I have come up with the Jardine "Double Header" pipe.
I just love the look of these. I am interested to hear other people's knowledge or see their photos if anyone has any input to offer.
Thanks

Someone posted a list of old exhausts made for XS1100's on here - There was a pipe made by Jardine called the "Spaghetti"...from the looks of it that is the equivalent to the "Double Header" for the XS1100. A lot more information available for this pipe online than the "Double Header"
4thekz1000- It is hard to tell just what that is. I saw those as well and thought it might be what I was looking for, but if you look at the head pipe sections it appears to most likely be a traditional 4 into 2. Ahhh I should have bought those pipes a few weeks ago, I kept putting it off because it was a "Buy it Now"...And someone else is the lucky new owner!

Info page. Interesting to read, i wonder if they have Dyno figures to back it up. More power everywhere is quite a claim

They are a pain to install/remove. I had to remove the front fender to get these pipes off the bike. The bike also did not have a stock fender and I am thinking a stock fender might not allow enough clearance.
I will look for the thread where there are pictures.
They should sound diffrent. Roy
I'll take a picture of the exhaust today.

Na, just put the pipes on a jack underneath, start the threads on the header side, then the silencer side and take turns hand tightening each exhaust nut in a similar fashion to putting on car wheel nuts so its even then tighten it down in the same fashion.
