NO. There are others.

The spring allows the header pipe to slip back and forth inside the clamp to enhance engine performance. Often seen on race bike engines.

was considering the stock pipes with some y-pipes welded on there so the centerstand and oil filter would be easier to use.

That pipe is definitely not a Kerker. Not sure who made it. Good luck.
