Hi peeps, I need to replace the 4 into 2
exhaust downpipes on my 1997 Bird. What I'd like to know is :- will the injected downpipes fit my bike ? It seems the earlier pipes are like hens teeth, unless you pay a premium price ! (anybody got a set for sale?) Regards, Sircular.

Hi Sircular, you'll probably have better luck on Facebook with your enquiries.......thats where they all hang out now.......
Im sure if you look deep enough into the archives on here you'll find the answer, good luck!

Here you are Len

all the injected downpipes will fit the carb'd bike,

the later injected have a boss which needs plugging, not an issue,

I would try and get genuine Honda not aftermarket,

it might be cheaper to buy a complete infected bike, cheap has chips (but not Kostas chips)

Yes Len it is Grant over there and on Facebook too.

You say the earlier downpipes are like hens teeth and cost too......don't know why as the earlier ones rot unlike the FI pipes which are stainless. :rockon)

Hi Murph, So far, the only after market stainless downpipes, for a carb'd Bird, I've found worth getting are from the likes of, Delkevic, Black widow or David Silver. ( hence, the premium price !) Taking on board the advice from other forum users, (both here & on the BIRD forum) I'm going to try & get a used set from a F.I. Bird. Regards.
