That's a standard rear down pipe .
The moriwaki system utilises the standard pipe (stainless steel ) but you need to mod it a little for better gas flow by removing the internal weld on the flange !!! .

lloydie is it not better to have it as it is?

my understanding was the front is wider / opened up to allow faster gas flow for the longer pipe, the rear was left standard so it balanced the flow with the shorter length pipe at the rear equalling pulses iirc

Most systems was like that from my findings when i was looking into getting the Yoshimura

No it's just a messy huge weld made by honda .
It will mess up the flow in the mori pipes . The front one (mori) is smooth :-) .

Seb the moriwaki pipes lengths are

Front 600mm to the splitter
Rear 560mm to the splitter
So 40mm difference
And 42mm OD pipe for both
