Trying to locate the Manufacturer of this 4-4 system for the Gen 1 Vmax.

Can ANYONE help with a manufacturer, Link, cost or ANY HELPFUL information?

LOOKS to be a Slip On and not a full exhaust.

Anxious to locate.

Thankyou.

Often there is some type of stamping alpha-numeric information in the sheetmetal. I expect you found none? Check the end caps too. Post close-ups of both ends of the megaphones & the strap fasteners to the exhaust headers/megaphones and the clamps. That may help.

What are the megaphones? SS or chrome-plated steel? Do the end caps have elongated round-end slots on the outer area? Kerkers at one point used a feature like that.

The F1 system is 4/2, and sounds similar that. it's tubular canisters, not tapered megaphones.

UFO made a 4/4 called Quadzilla, I have a set, besides others. Quadzilla was a complete system. Look at Star Rider Performance, Mike Lees' company since UFO is no more with the death of Jon Cornell.

One similarly styled, but complete headers to megaphones:

A Supertrapp slip-on pair of megaphones is available in either black or stainless steel. Much cheaper than the above! No power boost though.
 
Reminds me of an early 80s CB750!

Yes Honda CB750 (and derivatives) had them, as well as the Kawasaki Z1. (the ultimate was the Cbx 1000 - 6 separate pipes)
Somehow the CB wears them better, not sure if that is because they pipes 'split' earlier or due to the Vmax 's longer wheelbase.

Like the man wearing orthopedic shoes, I stand corrected, the CBX had 6-2 pipes, the 6-6 seems to be aftermarket.

The late 1990's Morbidelli V8, no 8 canisters or megaphones, though.

They are a slip-on and you will lose approx 10% power compared to stock. I've got a large library of pictures of various exhausts that I have collected. See below.
Esper in Japan is one place that made the 4-4's
Over Racing (also Japan) is another place that I have seen the 4-4's
Super Sound (also Japan) has modified supertrapps for 4-4

Sean,
Happy DAY AFTER Christmas.
Happen to have any of these IN STOCK?
Thank you
Sorry sir I do not. BUT, I see there is a very very nice set available that my Japan friend can probably purchase for us. Want to say it's in the $1600 price range though so not super cheap. I am sure we can find a cheaper set at some point but may not be as nice.
Email me and I can help get you pics.
