CB77 Exhaust Header Source

CJ · Post by CJ » Sun Dec 09, 2012 9:17 am

Does anyone know of a good source for a new pair of exhaust headers? I have been told to stay way from the ones from Thailand, as they are poorly made. Any comments, pro or con?

Thanks,
CJ

Let us know what you think of em.

The service was excellent. Very quick and to the point response to a question prior to ordering. Order itself was processed quickly, and well packed.

The headers, well... a little disappointing. They have the look of “aftermarket”. The tubes themselves are a reasonably heavy wall, but the curves are very obviously done on a tube bender, with the clamp marks visible. Plating appears to be a single application of chromium or nickel, with little base and little polishing. No “depth”.

Are they nicer than a rusty or banged up original set? You bet! But IMHO, they are not close to the same class or quality as the original headers were when they were new. A little extra finishing work could have helped.
