What's the whole deal with the black-piper comments? Is original exhaust that rare or something?
If so, Jethro is milking me!

Black piper, OK, here we go.
Many of you will be aware of the Wire Wheel Katana (NZ Only, Australias one's were fitted with the wire wheels only and had no other improvements, vasically theres was a marketing stunt).
There were 20 made for homoligation purposes in NZ.
Roundslide Mikunis, Wilder Cams, Wire/Spoke wheels, Larger diameter exhaust, 10 plate clutch, Braided lines etc etc (Long list of Factory Mods. Stock Kat was 111Hp, Wire Wheeler was approx 120 (I think its actually got more).
Well the year before that there was the GSX1100T (Designated the T model in the Suzuki Manual, Not the ET which was the Standard model).
Also know as a Wire Wheeler (aka the black piper as the 2 centre header pipes were black, outers were chrome).
Same engine specs.....Only 20 were ever made I believe (But i could be wrong as I was only 7 years old then so what would I know).
I've never seen one in the flesh but if seen one on a poster about the big & very popular endurance race of the time.
So there you go, Sorry its so long winded.
If anyone is really interested I can direct you to a site which has the full parts list of these bikes.
Ive got the microfiche for one as well as the standard SZ.
Let's just say the Factory knew how to make these motors haul ass back in 1980 but slowly released the HP over the course of the whole GSX1074 to 1135 model run and many features that were in the 1135 were inside these bikes engines 5 years earlier ;-)

Damn, I found his powerband. I had posted about it in another thread and didn't even realize it. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=87395
This looks to be the same pipe marketed in the '80s as the MX3. One of his testimonials even refers to it as the MX3. I never knew anyone that ran one but they were advertised in most of the bike mags back then.
Out of curiousity I pulled out an old bike mag and sure enough this is the same guy that used to call this pipe the MX3. He's just trying to cash in on the X-pipe configurations around today with some old stock he never sold. It could prove to be a decent pipe. Here's the text from the old ad,
4into1's ARE A LIE
Get serious. 4into1's were designed 35 years ago. How could a 1950's exhaust possibly improve the performance of your superbike? 4into1 brands are all the same. They all scavenge. Scavenge, especially on 4 valve engines is disastrous. It sucks out over 21% of the carbuetor supplied air/fuel; robbing your engine of Hp, requiring illegal rejetting, while increasing pollution.
MX3, the 4 stroke expansion chamber, prevents overscavenge, boosting Hp, reducing pollution, usually with no rejetting. Giving you more low end, more mid range, and more top end, instantly! Your superbike will pull harder from 4,000rpm to red line. The MX3 powerband actually improves streetability, along with performance. For all out performance, no exhaust works harder than MX3.
My patent pending MX3 is guaranteed to outperform any Kerker, Supertrapp, or VHR on your bike the way you drive it. I'm not making wild claims, I'm guaranteeing results. No one else can!
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT THE PLUMBING!

Isn't it embarrassing that people who know nothing will try to sell a line of B-S until they die#-o
"I don't know." is that so hard to say?
Factory this and factory that, when you don't know what came on it from the factory=D>
And for the love of God, use a spell checker
Talkin' all that street may be cool in the hood, but when you put that crud into type it just looks stupid

C'mon dude, I have seen those WAY cheaper on Ebay (used) for a lot less coin! Besides they work WAY better when they are used and dry-rotted.
