Quote off the web site:
This exhaust system in stainless steel is bent by bending machine.
Low cost but good
What else would they use? Maybe stick their dick in it and bend it? Low cost = NOT Get an AKRA or a muzzy!

For the prices I just saw on the hooked on phonics exhaust system, Muzzys is less expensive.
I'm pretty sure they speak english, also!

Tsukigi makes some GREAT products. They are considered "high-end" in Japan compared to others. Thus, they cost a bit more. My ZRX was one of the 00' US street "test bikes" (as in I was given products to test by the US distributor, & I gave detailed feedback on street performance/installation issues.) Parts on the ZRX (pic below) include: Fork Brace, Frame Braces, Billet Top triple-clamp, & the Tsukigi Dexter series exhaust (with both "street & competition" baffles (93 & 103db.))
The Dexter series exhaust pipes are a work of art if you look closely. The welds are better than anything I've ever seen in the US. Dyno testing on a DJ150 revealed slightly higher numbers than a Muzzys pipe (+ <1hp/1ft.#), however it was so close it could have just been conditions; they were approximately the same. FYI, I am a firm supporter of Muzzys products. The only drawback to this specific pipe on the ZRX is you must remove the collector to change the oil. This is not true on the ZX12r & other bikes.
The only drawbacks to Tsukigi products are the higher cost; & lengthly shipping times if the US distributor does not have what you want in stock. Take a good look around the website. There is some very nice product there. Like Beet, etc. & other Japanese product makers, they are not well known here, & the exhange rate makes some items more pricy than here. Hope this helps...

A guy on 12R.org is selling his muzzy ss with ti can for $500, I think he's still got it. I think he's selling it cause he's getting a yosh or something

Tsukigi
I am running a Dexter on my 12 right now. I had an Yosh RS3 full system on it previous to the Dexter. I actually changed my pipes on our dyno and back to back runs showed mid range and top end gains from the Yosh system. It is noticably louder and is definitely "a work of art" on the welding. In other words. I absolutely love mine but if you want something that is a good bang for your buck then this is probably not the one you need.

Will do. I need to get it out of storage and clean it up and start on polishing the rims anyways.

I've got the "Quiet 93db" baffle if your interested... 
You will lose about 8-10hp over the 103db pipe, but the exhaust note is much closer to say, an Akrapovic. It's downright quiet...but has a nice tone to it....

Enjoy the ride!
