I think thats the pipework for the older swing arm.

[iang]

It is the earlier version pipework ( not Banana ) but the first 749R kit with the intake funnels etc had this kind of pipework as well, do not know if you can tell the difference just looking at it ??

I had heard that the later (new swinging arm ) pipework would fit the older swinging arm but older pipework would not fit the later swinging arm ?

Just to add to this.

I am also thinking about upgrading my assymetric system to a full 57mm system but see conflicting comments on various websites.
Some say it makes a huge diffrence.
some say it makes little difference - reduces midrange - puts a flatspot in midrange.

Appreciate some feedback from fellow 749r owners on real life experiences !

Of course the cure for the 749r owners flat spot, loss of power ..............is to buy a 999r!

heres my 2p worth,ive had a 749r with both systems (assymetric & 57mm) they both sound the same,the 57mm looks great on the 749r & gave a little extra power 5bhp?. i found the 749r had to be reved high to get the best of it,if i wanted a screaming bike i would buy a jap thingy thingy.i went for a 999s,this bike came with a assymetric system as standard as its last years 999r bar wheels & carbon as a whole. i had a option to fit the 57mm system or sell it.i sold it as the 999s is plenty good enough with the standard assymetric system & power commander. andy is bang on,if you want more power & torc then get a 999bip/s/r. v2 pete had a trial spin on mine & he was amazed how much torc & power it had,(hes used to a 749) he said " i wish i had bought a 999 now". was/is the 57mm system worth the extra £? i say "no".in the real world at my personal level of riding its a no,however - £2000-£3000 on a 57mm system or £2000-£3000 px between my 749r & 999s.i went with the 999 option.
