Great info, thanks guys. I looked closely at euro stock mufflers for sale online they look the same as my japanese one with a larger inlet that goes in at a different angle and place to the US ones. The outlet to my headers is 2.5" diameter, just like the euros. My headers also appear to be aftermarket after a comparison with another japanese imported bike I saw today.

I wonder what the colour of mine is all about?

It appears to be a US bike built for Japan with aftermarket Euro spec headers now in New Zealand. No wonder it confused me :p

Those look suspiciously like the equal length euro-spec headers with a second O2 sensor for 2010s sold by Twin Motorcycles HERE

the color comes from the fact that it is titanium, the heat cycling turns the polished surface with a bronze-ish tint. My 1125 is the same.

Thanks! I looked at a pic of mine vs their ones and my rear cylinder header is more parallel with the ground rather than bending up like theirs. I thought it might be a Termignoni titanium for a while, but even theirs have slightly different looking bends. I'll find out one day. I'm just stoked to have titanium headers!!

Your bike may have come with european headers with a cat they are about 1/4" bigger at the muffler joint so what i did was get the 2007 headers which are bigger pipes but with the smaller muffler joint if that makes sense! i have a 2009 xb12ss with a drummer muffler and ebr ecm man its transformed!!

Hey! I know this thread is from a few years back. Where did you get the 2007 headers from? I think I need this for my bike.
