Really high price for a header only! Half is much too.
Hindle or really well priced Delkevic for much less, look good too.

Stainless steel very handy when pipes are miscoloured due to lean or late ignition. Grind the pipes with fine grinding paper like grit 1200 or a used 800.
Back to bronze after a long ride or 2. Chromed header, live with it.

I never buy off ebay when the seller fails to provide a picture of the actual item you are buying?

I'm sure many racers should use that design if it give lots of power.

Agreed. There are no photos of the exhaust itself, just mounted, so there is no idea as to what it actually looks like.

And the copy for the ad? Yikes.
