Are you sure it's not photoshopped? :D

It looks like a set of tuned length headers after a carton of Rocket Fuel.  ;)
Seriously mate, I've got no idea.

Actually I have a header that similar to that in my pole barn. From what I found it's an old Laser header. They haven't made those for quite a while though. I can't even find an image of them anymore.

There were/are some wiggly exhausts out there. See my avatar for the "Triple AAA" equal length exhaust available in 1970 to 1974. Haven't seen another since.

I have the header in question for my new project, it appears. It is a Laser/Marshall Deep Tone, and if I'm correct it is no longer available for SOHC 750s. I think I got one of the last ones available from a US importer. Mine for the CB750 looks alittle different than the one you've pictured for the 500/550.
