My bad if I got anyone's hopes up.

I should have read all of the forum threads before posting.
After finally reviewing them all (yep, I am totally infatuated with this bike in all ways), I guess there are three different factory pipes (previously, I thought there were only two):
the stock bazooka looking pipes with chrome tips
the upgraded Stage 1 bazooka looking pipes with black tips
the upgraded Stage 1 curved pipes
Hope that helps anyone who is considering ordering the Stage 1 pipes with their first run package and are expecting to get the "curved" pipes pictured in the 2015 Rider's Catalog. I guess I am getting the bazookas with black tips but that is OK with me because I wanted a throatier sound not necessarily a different shape.
