Header only performance?
I like the look of the four header pipes slashcut and vented out of holes cut in the fairing. The sound must be simply awesome. Seems like it would be a cheaper way to go but I have never seen aftermaket pipe makers sell these. Must be custom made.
How much does it cost?
How does it compare to a 4-2-1 for performance?

it wouldnt sound all that great. If you call up brocks you can just order the header pipes, collector, and one piece if you really want.

^^^Thanks, eclipse. I'm pretty set on a full system megaphone or M4 retrodrag slipons if I go to aftermarket exhaust. I am interested in buying used however because I just might go turbo some day and be getting rid of the pipe.
The headers out of the sides is just something I like the look of ------and I do dig loudness.
Thanks, everyone else for replies, too.
