Will CB550K 77-78 Exhaust fit 1974 CB550K?

Will CB550K 77-78 Exhaust fit 1974 CB550K?  My 74 CB550K is in need of the #4 (right upper) muffler and I really like the looks of the tapered cone ends on the 77-78 exhaust.  Also the 77-78 seems like better availability.  Thanks for any assistance.  --Ralph

Not without heavily modifying the rear brake pedal to clear the pipes and also 77/78 pipes are way rarer than the earlier ones which fit all the 500/550K forom 71 to 76
