Umm, if that's the guy trying to sell a set of stockers off a roughly year 2000 900SS, those won't fit.  Chuck and I checked... SS pipes and Monster pipes are two different animals.  The muffler and head pipe are at different angles with respect to one another.

He's either got SS pipes or Monster pipes.  The only way he's got "both" is if he has two sets: one off a Monster, and one off an SS.

If it's the same guy, his ad for the SS pipes is here:

The comments about fading CF are true... you can't really restore them once they've faded, unless you just wanna paint over the CF (which I suppose you could do).  And you don't wanna buy CF cans if they're going to sit out in the sun all day.  That's why I stopped commuting on my SS a month or so ago.  I think it was adversely affecting the CF cans.

I just prefer the sound CF mufflers make, and I have the luxury of storing the SS in a garage and commuting in another vehicle.

$50 ain't a bad prie for a set of stock cans, especially if they aren't scratched up.  If they don't fit, sell them on eBay.

You can check the part number.  On the stockers, it's stamped/etched right into the canister along with all that federal emissions blah-de-blah.

Can't recall the exhaust PNs for the Monsters off the top o' my head, but I'm sure someone around here knows.
