What do you have on your bike now? Is it what is in your avatar?
The bike I'll be getting has a pretty solid set of 4 into 4 pipes, but I'm thinking about swaping it out for a 4 into 1. The bike is straight, but not all original, so I'm not too worried about keeping it that way. I might think about some kind of trade at some point.... but I don't have the bike at my place yet. In a week or two.

You can try and chase 'em on ebay, and spend lots of money for really nice ones, or you can go to your local Honda shop and spend lots of money for some shiny new ones.... ;)

About $650.00 from DSS, plus shipping, plus whatever customs tax may be charged by the gov't.

Get the part numbers and check out all the on-line hoda dealers,
Dont forget if you aint got standard now you will need the 4 mounting brackets; the two connectors at the rear with clamps and a stand rubber stop.
Also 4 new exhaust port gaskets
