Exhaust Options

I'm almost done with the 73 rebuild project of the year and now it is time to deal with the exhaust. Currently I have the 4 stock pipes on the bike but they are rusted to beat hell. I cannot seem to find any cheap alternative to buying new pipes for $400. Any suggestions?

Is it the exhaust or the headers that are rusted badly?

Headers can be wrapped pretty cheap...

Now don't laugh... When I had my CB350four the mufflers were shot but the head pipes were fine. I cut the mufflers off and added 4 individual VW exhaust tips from JC Whitney.They slipped right over the factory pipe and are slightly baffled ... sounded pretty mellow at idle or part throttle, but friggin AWESOME with a wide open throttle. I'd really like to hear them on a sebin-fiddy!

It's hard to beat the sound of a 4-4. 4-1 is the next best bet IMO.

4-4 is expensive as sin though. Plenty of options for 4-1 for cheap, but make sure you like the look of the bike first.

Personally, 4-4 just fit like a glove on k models.
