Both sets have been claimed, thanks!

The headers for the CX and the GL are different part numbers. Do you know which the better pipes are for? Are they OEM or aftermarket?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought the 500 headers were interchangeable. :confused:

I may be mistaken, Randall, but the part numbers are different when I looked them up. Perhaps we can get Murray to chime in to clear this up.

Got a reply from Murray as follows:

ok here is what i can verify

the standard and deluxe are the same as the gl500

in fact if you check david silvers spares sell a repro set for the deluxe and gl same set

now there is something diff about the custom ones its the end angle if i recall

So, there we are. Do you know if they are OEM?

I know one of the 500s has a different h-box. The Custom, maybe? That would jive with the difference in headers. (Though, I thought it was just the mounting points that were different.)

If you put gl an cx c headers next to each other the locating collars for

the gasket into h-box are a little closer to the end on the gl .

all same pipe length the diff being the location ring
