Hello, are factory '73 H2 mufflers stamped with part numbers, and if so...where? Reason to ask, I just bought a set, and I see no stampings. But hey don't seem to be aftermarket they are very thick steel, and good chrome. Just wondering?!

No stamping. The downpipes are stamped "H2" at the exit end.

Thank you for that info!!!! So if I may ask this....how can you tell OEM from reproduction mufflers, is there any distinct differnce?!?! Thanks again, GB

There were some photos posted once (maybe JP?) that showed the baffle where it inserts into the pipe -- it didn't look great and certainly wasn't true to OEM, but other than that I hear that they are difficult to distinguish from original.

repro pipes from Doremi, the exhaust is oval and the genuine Kawa is round seeing from the rear


you can see also on these picture there is on the outside wall in the pipe on which is fit the baffle some kind of (grey) glue all around it, you don't see in original pipe.
