Very nice. Have one of the original exhast that Chris built for members a few years ago. I like the change he made to the mounting with springs look much easier to remove the pipe to change the oil. You will love the sound when you crack it open.

Cool pipe man!  It looks great in the pics on eBay...Post up when installed and if it's not too much, your impression of quality...I'm interested in someone who has bought one how they felt it was overall.

Stainless headers are great but be warned they will turn dark near the engine. I personally like it but it takes some rubbing to keep them polished. Stainless not stainproof.

Is carpys identical? I looked at both and the lines on motos seem much cleaner. Maybe those who do metal work can chime in in the difference when comparing the two pipes metal work. 754, where are you!?

I contacted moto today for th 750 I have. I need a set up and bought a kerker for it last week. The wife for some odd reason today told me I can get the 4-1 moto! Well rather than acting in impulse I wanted to make sure I didn't need anything else for the set up. They told me I need to remove the center stand and up the jetting by 2 and raise the needle.

Thats why I am looking for the difference and quality.... Got to admit, moto's to me looks better... I thought Greggo may have it on his 750 but not sure..... So if anyone has a video of moto's on their 750 please post a video of it running!

No, pretty sure Greggo does not have one the big difference is the metal, Moto's is stainless steel.  Chris was an engineer for Yoshi, and builds this replica.

Carpy's is steel, will rust if not coated.  He has them made in IN in bulk.  Good pipe for the money but then you need coat it, ceramic would be best, but expensive.

Dibbs on TEWS Kerker!

Tews - the guy who bought my K5 put a Carpy pipe on it, I'll send you a pic.
