Looks like micron. If you could get me a pic of collector (and care) I could tell you for sure.

If you didn't need to rejet for filter, it did nowt. Gpack does nowt anyway. Micron isn't a bad pipe but is weak in midrange, I had one fitted for a year or so.

OE downpipes are stainless too.


Why the attitude anyway? You not like being told you spent money on crap?

sorry. not really. originally i cut the wires in the geabox as a mod on sv forum, then rectifier went pop and the repair shop rejoined them. saw gpack at a lot of not worth it money, then saw it at why not its 25, so did, must be in the mind

No, Stainless headers. I thought the same as you until I listened to the guru's on the Org.

Get some polish out and give them a clean, you'll see the grain of the stainless.

Only place there might be other types of steel will be where the headers join, but as they get so hot & mucky, its difficult to tell.

If it is running a bit lean it will feel fast where it picks up around 6krpm. Below there is where micron loses out especially if can is not well packed.

I'd definitely dyno it in case it is running lean especially with that filter. But if it still rideable then that filter is cheap for a reason :P
