EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR HONDA
The new Kerker 4-into-1 exhaust system is claimed to produce a power increase, improve quarter-mile acceleration by approximately one-half second, and provide better gas mileage.
The Kerker design features all four head pipes welded together at the collector, under the engine. The rear section or megaphone slips onto the header and sweeps upward to give the bike a racing-style appearance. Silencing is accomplished by means of a removable fiberglass-packed baffle.

The pipes are available in chrome or black finish, and are available for Honda 750K models as well as the 500/550, 400F, GL1000 and Kawasaki 900/1000.
