Need pics of 550 4-4 exhaust
« on: June 05, 2010, 04:52:42 PM »
  I'm not that familiar with this exhaust and I've never seen one in person.  I'm looking for an exhaust with the best mix of clearance when leaned over and from the oil pan.  Can someone post some pics of the collectors where the mufflers attach and straight on underneath the bike looking down the length of the frame?  A shot showing both sides' relation to the oil pan would be appreciated too.

The thread title says 4-4 exhaust, but the question seems like you're asking about a 4-1.  Am I mistaken?

Nope, I was looking for pictures of the stock 4-4s, both sides if anyone's got them.

Okay.  The word "collectors" threw me off.  I always think of collectors as being where multiple headers join one muffler. 

I'll head out to the garage and see if I can get some decent shots from the angle you're looking for. 

Right off the bat, though, I can say the stock 4-4 system is great as far as access to the oil pan and cornering clearance.  You'll grind a peg before the exhaust hits pavement.

That's what I was thinking as far as the shots I've seen Gordon.  Just want to make sure.  I say "collectors" as I was unsure if the pipes were true 4-4s.

One more thing.  Could you possibly measure the OD of one of the pipes, not too far from the muffler?
