    not sure what kind of head pipe

    after spraying some lube in my clutch lever today to loosing up the clutch some lubricant ran down on my head pipe.its been painted black the silencer is a bills pipe but now im woundering what kind of header i have.it has several pieces welded together where the bend is in the fatty part of the header.the lubricant ate the black paint off when i wiped it off with a rag and the metal looks fairly shiny,not chrome or anything.

    ive been looking all over the forum and the internet and i dont know what kind of header i have.if i take a picture and post it maybe someone can tell me what it is and what the pipe is good for low,mid or top end,but one thing.how do i post a picture without using photobucket and it being huge?im thinking about taking the paint off.its flat black,i can always repaint it better.help please.

    +1 on the topend pipe. That things gotta rock past 1/2 throttle. Wonder if its stainless? Should have an old school tinny sound,like the old DG's when they were brand new. Did they shave the head fins to make it fit?

    it looks alot like a bills pipe and since your silencer is a bills theres a strong possibility that they were bought together as a package... it would look really trick if u used a torch and heated up all the welds (BLUED the welds).... is that a 300 kit hiding under that pipe
