Not 100% sure on the HRC call as I can't remember if the HRC system is welded together behind the right rearset. Is it a full system incorporating the removal of the 'twisty bit'?

The early Laser Jama exhaust half and full system were made from mild (rust) steel too :evil: (had one when I bought my NC30 in the early days of 2004..The fitted system on my now sold NC30 was produced somewhere early '95 on request of the first owner of my NC30 in The Netherlands). So do a lot of other systems including Jap ones for the NC30 back in those days.

Based on the longer mid section next before the last y-section I would believe this is most sure an early Ethos system, minus the exhaust can. The can is 100% not Ethos.

Does this full system make use of exhaust collars and leaves the standard rear manifold?

By the way....I just found this picture of an TSR twinstack system on a blue F.C.C. TSR paintjob VFR (looks like an RC30 to me?)
TSR twinstack system are very rare.

You can also tell it is an RC30 by the seatpad which has the hole in the front for the bolt, the lack of cutouts in the seat unit (look at the fuel tap). Plus if you look carefully you can see the quick release system on the bottom of the front forks.
