The pipes are more "upswept" than "high level" but I think they look good and original if not unique. making the brackets was a cinch 2, just used a metal blade in a vari-speed jig saw and plenty of 3 in 1. If I am honest I still think high levels look best but at least twice the price.

No they wont!If they are specific 851/888 hi level pipes,they wont fit a 900SS.They will be too high!
Some Exhaust manufacturers offer cans to fit 851/900 SS,(Lazer,Bos,Micron to name a few),these are the ones to go for.They are basically high level SS cans with some adustment available to fit 851's.When fitted to the four-valvers they just dont look 'right'.

Nigel...

I went the other way, and fitted 900ssie oval DP race cans to my 888. They're not designed as high-level cans for the 900, but they do sit higher than the standard cans when on the 888. They fitted straight on to the header pipes with no mods - so the pipe diameter must be the same - but I did have to make brackets to support the cans.
