Default Flexible exhaust pipe?

I remember seeing exhausts on motorcycles years back that appeared as if the headers coming off the motor flexible. Am I dreaming, cant seem to find anything on the web.

I think the flexible pipe is only a cover that fits over the stock header pipe.Saw a guy running them recently on a Heritage, gave the Bike a classic look for sure. They're available over this side of the pond from W&W part no. 73-070 fit over 1-3/4 inch pipes and are 30cm (1 foot long)

Man, I just dig that look, doghair! It would be cool if you could get the same look in dual fishtails.

Roadhouse makes the Classic duals for metrics but not HD, go figure.

That is a puzzler. I guess they want to capture the Harley knock offs, but not the Harleys - lol!
