850 is too much if you never get them or it takes 2 years...

Agreed. I'm past the 1 1/2 year point and still no pipes.

 What a bunch of low Lifes, knowing they took your money and not doing anything about it unless it might benefit them.

 I checked tonight DSS has 10+ sets of no number pipes that used to be Yamiya, I hope they still are, and Yamiya still has some left.
 DSS does take phone calls if you call in the morning in the US before they close for the day.

Thread gone a bit cold. How many missed out on their Busso pipes?

 Everyone in my group buy eventually got theirs, I closed my What'sapp thread so I'm not in contact with them. Last I knew there was one guy that paid half and lost contact and one guy still missing a set he had paid for from a couple years ago.
 Both of mine are still in the box. One set had 2 wrinkled head pipes at the top bend near the engine, the other set looks pretty good considering they are Busso. I've lost my enthusiasm for them.

 I noticed an ebay ad for new 4-4 pipes sold by 4into1, $1,995 with free delivery, the ad said made by full classic exhausts and do not mention busso, but country of origin is listed as Italy. In their place, I would also change the name and concentrate on wholesale customers.
  There are also ads for what I call the 341 mystery pipes. during the covid shutdown I got a set from cmsnl but have never found out where they are made. The look awesome but don't sound awesome. Mine are acceptable with the exhaust tips removed. I may open the tips up like we used to do in the 70's while saving up for a Hooker Header.

 Yes, I did get mine.
 After I sent an email telling them since I'm an experienced race car fabricator and have installed every type of 4-4 exhausts, it would be no problem installing them and I couldn't wait to put the pipes on my beautiful CB750 and make a video showing the installation to put on facebook.
 I may have misrepresented my intentions. I did it once, they did it repeatedly for a year.

Well, the 4 into 1 pipes being made in Italy would strongly lead one to the conclusion they are Busso pipes and just one more thing I wouldn't buy from 4 into 1...

 The leader of our group buy was reportedly talking to them about buying the business, he told them no one would be interested with all of the outstanding orders and bad press.

Good, sounds a better result than could be expected. I see the site says they are in the hands of administrators.
I wanted to continue to support them, but in the end there were some reports of quality problems with CB500 pipes and I cancelled as I paid by credit card.

The consensus after all pipes finally delivered?
Yamiya No Numbers pipes have a better look and fitment that is well worth a higher price?

I'm still sitting on my 350F pipes, waiting to bring another bike down here. Dunno if anyone else has any feedback about them though -- would be nice to hear about fitment, etc.
