The OEM Kawi pipes are VERY tough, and they use some type of unique "hard coat" It's actually like a charcoal dark gray color.

Where are aftermarket off road pipes illegal? I thought the only thing rangers and such could get you for was either exceeding noise levels, or not having a spark arrestor (both issues fixed with the right silencer).

Crazy, in Oregon they don't care what pipe you use off road as long as the muffler is a USFS approved spark arrestor and does not make over 92 db. However, on the street, anything goes no matter how loud it is, and no spark arrestor is required...

For those looking for a mint OEM pipe -

     https://www.revzilla.com/oem/kawasaki/kawasaki-18120-1094-chamber-exhaust?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIouXatJaO5QIVFx6tBh3u-w6LEAYYASABEgJmWPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I'm guessing  1) it's an old ad and is not available   and  2) if it is really available, it'll cost even more than the displayed price!

I do have a very good condition (no rust, minor ding or two w/good original finish) OEM pipe in my garage that I might part with if someone is interested...

k9Mike:
Unless the parts dealers have a part in stock, they simply forward the order to Kawasaki. Unfortunately, Kawasaki has discontinued the OEM pipe.  And so far, I've not found anyone that had one in stock... which I guess makes sense. Who would want to stock oem pipes when FMF or PC pipes are available for less.

Many oem parts dealers' web sites allow you to place orders for discontinued and not available parts. It really is annoying ordering a part only to have your order cancelled saying 'no longer available'.

With regard to your pipe, I would love to take a look if you had any hi-res pics of it.
Thanks!
