Left pipe as was when started Right Pipe wet and dryed (1200)


Today/midway


the black area is BBQ paint and is what will be bellow my silver/graphite Bandage

update:

finished this a few weeks back but forgot to get pics on here and here is what it looks like,
there rear headers are bandage free as i couldnt get it back in as i couldnt move the collars back, and thanks to hondas silly popsitioning on the studs i left it with just BBQ paint on the rear header.

the 4 way branch manifold is having all the 3 joints Stainless steel welded tomorrow as there are a few hairline cracks,

the 2 way rear branch manifold is haveing a M8 Bolt tacked on,

so they will be back tommorrow evening for sand, polish, spray and bandage,

more pics to follow tomorrow evening

Just for the record, the system in the photos is not a TYGA one.

looks like a standard system to my untrined eye...

I'd put a lot of money on it being Yamamoto. Stock headers and stock rear manifold too.

Good progress, im hoping mine will come up as mint as yours have.

Ps - i hope you had lime with those corona's

hmmm, i thought i had a full tyga system,

when i bought the bike i had a broken tyga can it had no pipe from the can, and it seemed it had been broken off,
i assumed the previous owner had removed the tyga and replaced it with the crappy fuel can,

im actually suprised!

but i dont think its standard as its polishing up very easy!

The original one often polishes up quite well cheif, I can't remember what it looked like tbh.. I seem to recall it being standard... or possibly yamamamoto

i dont think the rear section is standard the quality is different to the headers, and manifold,

but eitherway its a nice system as it is, and will be better buffed up just hope i dont have to polish all the time!

otherwise i may as well go buy a HOG
