What's the current situation with Hatori Pipes

What's model number of the Hatori Pipe for a Spectra-G

I've heard of part numbers 957 and SAB-12 but can only find specs on the 957 at Hatori Japan's website.

Do they still suffer from the problem where they are difficult to keep on tight?

Is anyone making the stainless headers anymore?

Does the Hatori work better than the Century V2?

Still trying to decide on what pipe to get and the TRM looks like it will be a while.

I have 3 Spectra's and the Hatori Pipe will not stay on any of them. I've tried everything and finally gave up on it. I have since went to the Century pipe and it stays on great. Until TRM comes out with their tuned pipe I'll be running the Century pipe.

What model of Hatori do you have?

I've heard lots of comments about the #942 and early SAB-12 having problems. The #942 has been replaced with the #957

I saw a post somewhere that the newer SAB-12 has extra grub screws that lock the bolts. No mention if these help or not.

There doesn't seem to be any annectdotal evidence from anyone using the production #957 pipes yet. I would like to hear from anyone using the #957. Does it fit well and more importantly, does it stay on.

It fits well and it stays on 4 gallon thru mine and its not coming loose yet
