Looking for a 4 into 2 header to convert to a duel exhaust, I believe it has to be off a zx 14

Here is a Cherry ZX-14 header that a COGger is offering. (Same as mine. I like the power band with these headers)

Also ZX headers are EZ to find on Ebay, but not as Cherry/maybe more expensive, and you need to know what your looking for;
ie; The 2006 thru 2008 were without Cat. Later models had a Cat.

Muzzy: Can't find a 4 into 2 right now, but they made them.

Here's the Muzzy 4 into 1 design;

Delkevic offers a 4 into 2. (New)
Header can be purchased with or without mufflers.

Before you do this, realize that adding a left muffler/mid can be more work than you realize.
I've done it. I do like it. Like the power band.
But it took some time to get it the way I wanted.
(Different side stand/modified center stand/left hanger/left Mid that fits close, etc etc etc...)
I can offer suggestions if you add the header.
The exception to that extra work may be the Delkevic set up. (Parts may be in the Delk. kit ??)

Ride safe, Ted

Thanks for all the info, I am thinking maybe a project for winter 22 :)  I may pick your brain if I decide to pull the trigger on this. Thanks

Just a FYI; Moving to a 4 into 2 can involve a lot of work.
I used a 2008 ZX-14 header and had to modify; side stand/center stand/left muffler mount had to be built/left mid pipe was modified for a better fit.

I think the Delk. 4 into 2 may be easier.

Lots of COG Members have installed the Delk. Slip-on's and love them.
On the headers, fewer have installed them, but I've heard no complaints from those that did.
As far as I know, all did the 4 into 1 system. You may be the first to do a 4 into 2.

Ride safe, Ted

PS: On my bike I used Area P Slip-on's.
