Bit confused what DS himself told me about the 323's being the same as CMS because CMS are available and DS has rejected a batch and no firm date when available. Why would CMS have them correct and not him? I was told by Mark at DS that they are being made along side the HM341's at the same factory. Anyone bought HM341's from DS and can confirm double skinned or not. BTW he has some 'seconds' sets for sale of the 341's available discounted. Just wish Yamiya would start doing 500/4 parts
Quote from: deltarider on November 10, 2015, 04:53:00 PMI would still think that price is outrageous. And what if they are of the first serie, just 0,8 mm thin? I'd rather have the thicker replica's.hmm, dunno...The OEM were double-walled (pipe in pipe), the replicates not, hence a slightly higher operation noise and instant temperature discolouration of the downpipes...I'd do like to know if the DS edition features double- or single walled downpipes though...

These will be the same ones that CMS are supplying but I haven’t seen them yet to comment on. I have been advised that they are same spec as O/E and am surprised to read from other members this is not the case. Once I have seen them I will be in a better position to advise on this.
I have just had a set from CSMNL delivered, now sitting in my conservatory.
The stamps they have on them are ;- Federal emission info, CB500, then the locating mark, ie LL or IL and 323 but no HM stamp on them. They look very good.

They look very good.Is this another case where if 'HM' was stamped on the pipes it would be a case of IPR infringement, as with the Honda logo on the back of seat covers?
