i just built my motor- 265cc with race porting running on race gas. my p.o.s. bills pipe aint gonna work anymore i'm thinking. it never fit right either. what kind of pipes are you guys running? what do you like and not like as far as performance and fit?

I run a custom built CPI. I would recommend a ESR or FTZ pipe if you want a lot of top end. The LRD works good if you want mid and top. What type of riding do you do (ie- where's your powerband)?

I used to run an FMF fatty (all-around pipe), now I run a Duncan Racing "Eliminator" (mid-top end pipe)

The "Eliminator" doesn't have quite as hard a "hit" as the FMF, but it rev's out higher and keeps the power a little higher in the rpm range, so it has a little broader powerband.

I have a splash'n dirt pipe and silencer. It is exactly the same as the hetricks pipe and silencer. Does anyone know who makes these pipes?

Right now I run an FMF fatty gold series with a power core 2 silencer.


The bike runs pretty good.But I don't like how it fits.And it is getting pretty dirty and old looking.


Planning on getting a curtis sparks pipe and silencer.Hopefully I will like that better.

I run a LRD adjustable, works great for me. I've heard ESR and sparks are also good. don't like FMF, but thats just me.

i have heard nothin but good things about ESR pipes but im running a powercore 2 silencer and a fatty pipe and i really like it. i get plenty of power through the whole powerband but it really depends on what you want . i have lots of bottom and mid power

well the trx 5 is a copy of the fmf fatty(depending on the shape) so not liking the fmf but liking esr is sort of hypocritical.

anyhow....

I used to run a fmf fatty and i switched to a curtis sparks TT and silencer.

ill never go back

sparks hands down!:D
