In a word, no, that is an ebay link. You have to have the photo you want to post in a cloud account, www.imgbb.com is the easiest in my opinion and I have provided a step by step guide in the how to section.

Rae, understood. Does the eBay link that I've put up allow anyone interested to see the pipes at all, when I click on it the original advertisement comes up?

I don't have a Cloud account and, quite honestly am unsure what it does? I'll ask my daughter about it when she next visits, as she probably does have one herself. In terms of technology though, I'm a real amateur and am still trying to work my way around Windows 10 more than three months after installation on this new computer.

The link to the advert works fine. An imgbb account is free and easy to set up. You upload the photos you want to imgbb (cloud)
and follow my instructions.

I looked at these pix and not being easy to TIG wondered if the fillets could be filled with braze. They’d still need setting up on a jig.

That one pipe being so much longer than all the other is nagging at my brain. I know 4strokes are not as sensitive as 2strokes to exhaust tuning but that looks odd.

Funny you should say that because those were my thoughts as well when looking at them.

Not sure whether tuned pipe lengths were a carburettor thing, with supposed precision fuelling using injection it might not matter so much, plus the dimples for the bolt heads looks a bit Heath Robinson !

I think they were doing it on the cheap and should have gone for something more like this.

Would have made it even more powerful.

And here's my Akra that turned up a couple of days ago.

The stock pipes and the ones Tom showed are both 1&4, 2&3.

Chris's Akra is 1&2, 3&4.

The tuned length of each stub is more important than the combinations, but the Akra looks to have equal lengths which is odd considering the firing order.

The Akra looks simpler to make - a more uniform / near symmetrical shape.

But what do I know? (Answer: nothing)
