is it normal for the header pipes to be "offset" or are these pipes bent/badly made.
I have put a ruler on the end of the pipes so you can see what I mean
thx for help

Well here's a few pic's of some I took a few weeks ago,
I know the tape is misleading, but they looked level, no wobbles when I took the first picture

thx for your replies, they are pipes I just bought on ebay,
the seller responded
"They're perfectly fine you'll always get a bit of flexibility in the headers.
Is that fair comment or is the gap to big to bolt up (bearing in mind the torque setting on the bolts), the pipes are quite strong I cant bend them with my hands
Cheers

If they were made of scaffold poles you'd have something to worry about but they'll seal up fine with some new gaskets.

Does anyone know what these bolts are for (at the bottom of the downpipes)

Apart from reading exhaust content prior to the silencer I've no idea but they're nothing new. My 78 Kawasaki has one in all four pipes.....I'd be interested to know if anybody can enlighten....
Almost certainly exactly what they're for
Maybe they've been on a bike with an aftermarket ECU which needs two lambda/oxygen sensors, or perhaps someone wanted to adjust the CO setting of each cylinder until they found the perfect balance.
Maybe they're for giving access to the inside of the pipe, to knock out any dents !

Early TDM'S had exhaust gas sample ports to set up the co settings before the cat, mine has them never seen them after about 2006 bikes
Was there a change prior to that too do you know ?. Mine definitely does not have them, a 2002 model on an '04 plate

As far as Im concerned if the seller did not mention that bloody great dent & the fact that the headers are mis-aligned in the eBay ad they would have been boxed up and on there want back the the muppet who dumped them on me even if they were super cheap!! Just saying.
yes I have returned them
