First of all, forgive me if this seems like a dumb question to any of you. My experience is in cars, my F4 is only my second bike.

Anyway... my bike has a Micron Carbon Fiber exhaust.. there are two springs that connects the can to another short pipe that goes under the swingarm... now that pipe connects to the header pipe.. and there is one spring on top that connects them together.. I didnt see a clamp anywhere.. the header pipe also has a goldish tint to it.. not like aluminized metal or heat coated or anything... so I'm wondering if this is a full exhaust? I stuck the camera under the bike to get some pics, and I will post them in a bit, but I'm thinking it is not just a slip on....

I really like the way it sounds, and I don't have any plans to remove or change it... just wondering what it is..

The headers from the front of the "V" opening in the fairings has 4 individual tubes with teh outer pairs seeming to have type of short pipe that is maybe 3/4in in diameter connecting them... or at least I think so..

Any help is appreciated.

Okay.. here are some pics:



Underneath here is where the 2 pipes join to one outlet..
You can see the springs on either side..

Here is the front view.. fairings on of course..
You can get a decent look at the header tubes…


Finally, the union where the pipe connected to the slip on connects to the header single outlet..



I found this pic of a stock header with a Micron slip on installed..



Mine doesn’t seem to look like that..

Thanks again,
Adam

 

It sure looks like an aftermarket header.

Are there any ballance tubes going between the header pipes?

 

There seem to be two smaller tubes connecting the outer pair of tubes together a few inches from the head...

 

That's strange... the header most definitely looks aftermarket but the midpipe looks stock to me... I thought most headers came with a midpipe.

 

The stock ones will be small About 1/4 the size of the main pipe, and sort of have a u shape to them. Most aftermarket ones will be straight and larger in size, about 3/4 the size of the main pipe.

The aftermarket ones will sometimes have multiple cuts and welds throughout the pipe instead of just one long tube for each side. Which yours looks like it does.

Also, the fact that yours doesnt have the welded on tab for mounting suggest its not stock. Plus, the midpipe is welded to the header on the stock one, yours appears to be held on with springs.

Keep in mind, its possible someone used a different header, Meaning it may not be a micron header. But it doesn't look stock to me.

 

Here's one for sale.
