Hello knowledgeable and learned Rocket Professors. These pipes were on my 04 Rocket Standard, when I bought it. They connected off the original headers and eliminate the catalytic converter in the process. I cannot see any sign of a brand name anywhere.They sounded great, felt kind of like riding a two wheeled Spitfire. Problem was that the chrome was flaking badly, and I like shiny,so I got a set of originals and installed them with a cat bypass. The pipes pictured popped alot on decel, and fuel econ was down compared the the originals, from what I understand maybe they did not alter the tune or loaded the wrong one. Anyway it runs great with the originals, but I am curious if anyone knows what these are, I like the look of three pipes out the back, I am just quirky I suppose. I am toying with sending the pictured pipes to Brisbane to get replated and refit them with the correct tune. So I throw it to you all, and all info is much appreciated as I have learnt more about R3's since being on this forum than I have in the whole time I have owned one:) (Labrador not included);)

Look like modified stock mufflers to me ... maybe consider ceramic coating instead of chrome. Hard to get decent chrome plating these days , and chrome platers sometimes won't even do used mufflers. Ceramic coaters out at Brendale do a silver colour that looks better than chrome.. I reckon anyway.

Hey, thanks @TOMCAT, I will look into the ceramic option. Just playing with ideas at the moment. In twelve months I am thinking of getting another R3 like and 09 or a Roadster to play with, so this one will get some treatment but am intending to keep it for my Son's in law to ride with me from time to time. Should do something nice for them since they have been kind enough to be involved in providing us with Grandkids.
