I bought it used awhile back, they said it was a Sparks but it doesn't look like one to me..i've tried to figure it out but i don't know what it is...help please?

It looks kinda like a DG, and if it isn't a sparks, i'm going to buy an HMF or somethin...

No a cobra is chrome and rusts the frist time you wash it. I think it's a sparks with the emblem and end cap taken off.

then it would have holes from where the rivets (sp) were holding the emblem on...

Sparks could have just used a sticker. I know they did on my first x-6.

your rite it is to long to be a sparks
im 99/9 pos. thats its a cobra because cobra looks like a dg talepipe but the header is a short tight turn like a whitebrothers.

it looks close to that DG but like someone else said their headpipes go around the frame and the are not one piece.

The cobra's aren't similar at all. The endcaps don't look close to mine. And they are 2 piece.

I am going to say it is an older style Sparks X-4...

I have had a cobra, and it was 2 piece. Here is a pic of my sparks X6, but I know the older style X4 and X5 had different end caps. Sparks are one piece, but the X6 has a small taper in one spot on the header which your pipe does not have. Your pipe looks like a DG, but I am not real sure! I also can't remember if TC pipes and powroll pipes are one or 2 piece. Hope the pic helps.

All the powroll pipes ive ever saw are painted black like stock. Im thinkin its an old supertrapp E.A.R. model more than likely.

Sorry for making you say it a sixth time friend. Part of me is thinking that if you like the exhaust, you should keep it and be happy, regardless of the manufacturer. Then I realized, if you were to want to sell your current set up (to suppliment the purchase of a new system), you would have a hard time doing so without the ability to inform the buyer just what you're selling. I see your dilema. I'm sorry I couldnt help, but if it'll make you feel better I'll go back and read your other 5 posts denouncing cobra. :D
