John:

I fabed them myself. The intent was to end up with the FIA sidepipes but to have some primary tube length to gain or maintain torque. I used many mandrel bends, cut, fit, remove from engine and tack weld then on to the next tube. They were made with the body on and engine installed. Needless to say it was a lot of work. A neat trick was to cut about 3 slots in a hose clamp and put the clamp around an unwelded joint and then make sure the parting line was snug and tack weld through the small windows. Then remove the clamp and weld the entire joint.

Karl: Yes they are PSE Wheels
