Cool, but about $340 before shipping is pretty spendy. I might be more willing to spend that on a 550 than a 750 because you get to keep the super cool looking OEM header. If you are already missing the header or it's in bad shape I would just get the Delkavic.

Wow, that's crazy. If it's GBP, it's over $450 -- unchromed -- and there's a $377 tax on it.

yep, not cheap.
I was just surprised to find that someone made an accurate reproduction. Over the years I've seen some "F" model people asking and lamenting that no one did. They had to settle for rusted and dented used ones .
Cost would be relevant to what someone wanted. Aren't the 4 pipe repros over $1200+ ? And they seem to sell out a lot from what I see on here.
Busso was the only one I saw that sold a muffler that fit the OEM headers, but it wasn't a reproduction. And look at the problem ya'll are having with Busso.
