And where did all the smart a$$es come from? The OP writes a legit question and gets flamed from 3 or 4 others! Really!! I thought this site was above all that!!!

The smart a$$es have been here all along...

..and there was no flamage goin on...flaming is where someone sez..."Dude, obviously you don't know what your doin cuz without a pic nobody can tell squat and even if we did know what they were, we wouldn't tell you cuz yer lame and don't deserve to know, so take yer f'n newby a$$ down the road, cuz we're too cool for you"..and that sort of stuff don't happen here. you may not get the answer you were expecting, you may very well get answers you weren't expecting, and it's not unusual even, to get answers to questions you didn't even ask, but we don't (usually) treat folks badly here...roll with it baby....

i dont see any markings on the pipes, so no one knows what they are

The pic below is from a 1980-1981"Two Wheel Accessories" catalog showing a set of Winning Performance exhausts similar to yours. The ones in the ad have "turnout" style mufflers, so not an exact match. I think several different manufacturers offered these "180 degree" sytems, which boosted performance by pairing the cylinders that fired 360 degrees of crank rotation apart from one another. (Guess they could have called them "360 degree" systems!)

I would rather help them enjoy it here.. than help drive them away...

Thjayt being said tho, I dont have a perfect track record on here, have stepped on a few toes, and irritated a few members.....but for the most part, I try to be helpful..

At this point any pipes you have that 1) don't have rusty holes, and 2) don't make a sound you can't stand... are good pipes. There are other pipes out there but they're all pretty expensive next a cheap old bike, you might consider running what you have if you can tolerate them.

Basically it all depends on your personal taste after those two factors, if they don't go with your bike you may try selling or trading them here on the forums in the appropriate section.

They do look like Jardines, In the early 70's I had a set of 4 into 1's on my cb350F they sounded great and did seem to pep it up a bit, I do not think they make anything these days or are even still in business.

cafe550 · « **Reply #39 on:** November 22, 2010, 05:25:31 PM »

i do like the pipes and after making some custom baffles they sound great

thanks everyone for your help

Alan F. · « **Reply #40 on:** November 22, 2010, 06:33:33 PM »

Would you be able to make a video you could upload and post for us? It'd sure make following this thread worthwhile to hear and see your bike.
Cheers.

As it has been stated before many here cannot read, so posting pictures and videos helps.
At least it's better than /b here

Hoosier Tom · « **Reply #42 on:** November 22, 2010, 08:15:16 PM »

+1 on the Jardines. I had a set on a 350F a while back.
