You need to open up a free account with photobucket or something similar, then copy and paste the image link or code into your post....

If by exhaust pipes you mean headers, they look stock to me.

Yep, emgo shorty with stock pipes.  Looks good though.  Those mufflers are basically empty cans and provide little muffling.

Where would you find headpipes in such nice shape though?

The plater I worked for wouldn't touch used exhaust components, contaminates the vats.

you could have a stock set jet-hot (ceramic) coated... will provide more of a satin look, though.

Good luck on FINDING a good set of STOCK pipes that are worth trying to make purty!!  You could buy a set of MAC drag pipes and cut those back then install those shorties...

REMEMBER this ,, when you change to a less restricted exhaust you WILL have to rejet the carbs to run properly!!!

Chuck speaks the truth about the jetting; if you can make yourself stay with the stock airbox you'll get a good performing rig.The baffles are removable on those mufflers, so you can add as much restriction as you need. I'd like to hear it when you're done!
