Custom or Rare Cb550 Exhaust?
« on: November 14, 2016, 03:49:41 PM »
I've been looking for a unique 4 into 1 exhaust for some time now and I bought one off of eBay. It was from the east coast and has a similar style to the SS exhaust. I've never seen one like it so I'm curious if you guys know the brand or if it's just custom.

It also came with a muffler. And I'm trying to post all the pictures at once but it keeps kicking me out.

Don't know a ton about them, but they were considered performance (although didn't test as well as Kerkers and some others). They also made cams and I'm guessing other performance parts as well. I pulled a set of exhaust from a bike in a guy's yard and am tempted to open up that engine to see what's inside...

Looks you could use a kick stand too cool looking pipes, almost as beautiful as the 400's

How did you determine its an Action Four?

FYI - they were a company in California that made performance parts back in the day.   I have an Action Four exhaust on my CB750, it's a 4 into 2.

Cool pipes! I like the collector up front to keep it all nice and tight under. Good find!

Yeah she's still a work in progress. I lowered the bike and stretched it since I'm doin a vintage drag bike theme. I'll fab up a new kick stand once I have the suspension and ride height where I want it.

I searched up action fours cb550 exhaust and found a forum article where a guy was selling a exhaust and it's exactly the same.
