Makes me wish I had a 550 to hang it on. I have a  Delkevic 4 into one on my K7 750. I can attest to the quality of the product from Delkevic

That is sounding good..
Especially after the Busso Scam…

Delkevic has been around for awhile. Perhaps they’ll  do repop’s for all Models next…🤔

So far we've bought four Delkevick exhaust systems. We installed one last week on the 81' Suzuki GS 1100E. Any issues we had even when it was our own fault they took care of promptly. They sound amazing and look awesome. 8)

It says they are an exact replica to OEM . Are These double wall? I do not see it anywhere on The Delkevic site. Not excited about Amber/Blue pipes.

Yes, purchased and fitted a set to a 71 500K here in UK last week for a customer.
They are double skinned, fitted well with minor pushing and pulling, as with all 4 into 4's, chrome good, came with all fittings and they sound very, very nice.

At that price, I’d become an “early adopter”! Risk is minimal, their stuff has always been first rate.

Hmmm. This is pretty significant. A company takes the effort to duplicate the 4-4 for the smaller sohc. That's saying a lot. The price is very reasonable. So cool.

Gives me some ideas of what to do with the 74 550K frame, tank, and seat I have in my inventory. I've only had one 4 pipe SOHC4, my '77 550k.

Hopefully they keep making them for a while because this is far down the list of projects to work on.

I have it. Fits well though I deleted my rear peg connection point. I made a makeshift connection point under the frame near the rear brake pedal.

It would be nice if they reproduced the cb400f in stainless. While they are at it they could move the collector to the 1 and 3 pipes to enable the 4 pipe to be replaced individually if it gets damaged. I currently am running their 4 into 1 stainless exhaust and it is good quality.

Excellent looking Repro quality,from what I can see.  8) :)

Will a CB550 exhaust header fit onto a CB650 cylinder head?

Very fair deal!   

Both re-pop exhausts I bought for my Kaws [4 into 4 & 3 into 3] were about $1300 several years ago.

Not sure about 650 as that is a "stroked" 550 so head might be too far away
