Do you know the brand of pipes on it?

Do you know the brand of pipes on it?

I wish I knew. The 2 and 4 exit one side, 1 and 3 the other. (not sure which is to the right or left without looking) it is a 4-into-2 system.
They have rather square bends at the engine and where they bend to go back. I need to post photos so someone can identify them.
I would like an original exhaust, but that is a "way in the future" thing unless a set shows up cheap.

BTW: Tank is still being ousted from the garage due to the smell. Need to block the petcock opening and start cleaning it.

Quick update: Removed and blocked the opening for the petcock. Dumped a handful of nuts/bolts/washers and tossed them around to break loose the big chunks.
Filled with Works (2 bottles) and water. Not happy, I drained off about half the mix. Been slowly repositioning the tank and letting it soak. So far, it's turning out good. I will need to drain it and give it another 50/50 mix of Works to get the rest of the rust out. Very impressed with the results I am getting so far, considering the rusty mess I had.
Next is to order a new petcock. Rubber was stiff, and the screen has a hole in it. And fuel fliters too.
