Looking for advice on replacement - OEM or aftermarket?

Dont force the finned nuts off if they're tight! I have used mac Headers and they are fine plus double walled!

Sito Mufflers for /5

Hi There,

On my recent R75/5 rebuild I used Sito mufflers and headers. They fit perfectly. I got them from Moto-bins in the UK, but IIRC, there is now a USA distributor, but I can't recall who that is.

I wish someone told me that a few years ago.

way too LOUD. Also had to go larger on needle jet to make it run less lean. Some folks like the noise. I will be glad to see them gone.

These Keihan pipes have a good reputation. Made in England and you can order from there however Tom Cutter's Rubber Chicken Racing Garage is a licensed dealer in North Carolina. Apparently his prices might save you a few bucks ordering in the USA too.

Thanks for the input.
Decided on Keihans. Have not heard anything but positive, except for the gold tone they acquire. They did not appear on the Rubber Chicken Racing site. Found that Moto-Bins price beat Bobs. Reluctant to order from across the sea, but took a chance. Total including pipes, crossover, clamps and shipping about $320. Ordered Sunday night. They arrived today. So far very satisfied.

Don't know why anyone would complain about stainless headers getting a gold tone.
This is normal toning when you heat stainless....can even happen to your SS cookware.

So the coloration issues are: goldish with stainless steel; bluing with chrome unless you're running a double walled header? Is that the breakdown?
