Trinity Racing pipe -
The Trinity pipe is a multi step pipe. It has a mount for the head pipe heat shield, comes ceramic coated, and uses a trick billet clamp to hold on the canister. The pipe's end cap does unbolt for easy canister repacking.

Ask Kawasaki. Its the stock one bolted to the ESR pipe.

Why are you posting in this forum?

[feature05]

[FUELATV]

I got to ride a kfx450r not to long ago with a trinity pipe and power commander. Man what a rocket ship. How did it dyno verse what youve already done?

[416exfreak]

I rode a KFX for the first time yesterday....WOW!!!!!!

that thing was lightining fast....

I couldnt get any traction and it spun all the way through 5th gear...it was bone stock too...

I loved it, but it felt like it leveled off aroun 50 mph...can anyone explain this?

DirtWheels claimed it would run 70ish:ermm:

[mod440ex]

i know mine goes alot faster than 50

The Trinity pipe did very well. i cannot release the info yet, but i can say it was far from the worst.

We just ran this pipe on the dyno and it layed down some nice numbers.

Peak HP - 45.16
Max Torque - 33.05

[bkquill]

Hey FUEL, is that Santee as in Santee, SC?

Cheers,
Brian

[FUELATV]

No .... Santee CA. It is in San Diego.

[kawai450girl]

I have photos of every pipe in the shootout mounted up on the bike, but this website is not letting me post that many photos. I will also have all the dyno sheets posted soon. I just need to scan them all and upload them.

I want to make a few statements here. First off do not get all caught up in the peak HP number. All dynos read different. This is why we have a base line run to see the gains made with each pipe. The dyno used is a dyno jet dyno. All of the pipes were tuned for max HP. Some pipes liked 13-1 a/f and some liked 13.8-1.

1. WILL THE AFTER MARKET EXHAUST PIPES MAKE MORE HP THEN THE STOCK EXAUST WITH THE BAFFLE PULLED OUT?
A. YES ..... All of the pipes tested ..... SO FAR.... did make more HP then the stock exhaust with the baffle pulled out. Most of the aftermarket pipes tested were VERY close. Some made a little more then others.

2. DB'S ...... All of the db testing was done at 3750 RPM. The spark arrestors were removed on the aftermarket exhausts for this test.

3. All dyno runs were done with 91 octane pump gas.

The dyno sheets will be listed below. We will show each pipe run layed up aginst the stock pipe with the baffle pulled. Then you can see how much better each pipe does over the stock set up.


Stock pipe - Baffle out, air box lid off and a Power commander
Peak HP - 40.96
Max Torque - 30.15


Pro Circuit pipe -
Peak HP - 44.61
Max Torque - 31.52
104db at 3750 RPM
The Pro Circuit pipe has mounts for the stock head pipe heat shield, but it does not have mounts for the stock mid pipe heat shield. The Pro Circuit's can is riveted together making repacking alittle more time consuming.

Baldwin Racing pipe-
Peak HP - 44.93
Max Torque - 32.18
102db at 3750 RPM
This is a REALLY nice piece. Baldwin went the extra mile incorperating alot of nice features into their pipe. The pipe has machined fittings for the canister and mid pipe making intalling it and removing it very easy. The Baldwin pipe also has a Billet canister mount, Thick head pipe flange, both the head pipe and mid pipe stock heat shields will bolt on. To top it off the end cap unbolts for easy canister repacking.

This exhaust features a modular billet rear end-cap design that utilizes sleeves to tune performance and sound. The Anniversary Edition pipe comes with a 1.25 inch end cap sleeve. You can buy the .875 inch sleeve or the 1.9 inch sleeve at $29.95 each from LRD. These other sleeves DO NOT COME WITH THE PIPE. This LRD pipe has a HUGE canister diameter. The LRD pipe does have mounts for the stock head pipe heat shield, but no mounts for the mid pipe heat shield. This pipe does have a billet header flange, but it is not as thick as some of the others . The pipe's end cap does unbolt for easy canister repacking.

LRD pipe - Anniversary Edition Exhaust ....... 1.25 end cap sleeve comes with this pipe
No dyno numbers with this endcap, but expect a BIG HP loss

[Yee-Haw_400EX]

Well Steve, it looks like the shorter version actually did fare better than the standard version. Do you think the shorter version will go into production?

[FUELATV]

Yes i am having the 13 inch version made for me. Most of the pipes are very close, but i am pretty sure this is due to the poor intake design. Once my intake is installed i think the pipes would all not be so close. The intake is REALLY holding this bike bike. i have the air box eliminator version of my intake done and they will be shipping in 7 - 10 days. I will also have a air box version in 2 - 3 weeks. The box will be all aluminum and it will be very large like the stock air box. I have not done final testing , but the air box version and the air box eliminator version should make the same HP.

[04TRX400EX]

Thanks for all of the testing and updates FUEL. Please let us know when your airbox products are available and post pictures too.

That 13" Dasa looks so sick by the way.
