Ok, so what kind of pipes are you guys running? I am running a JetPro silenced version 1.
What do you think of your pipe? Please let us know. Stock or otherwise!
The only reason I am asking is, I am sure there are people out there that have no idea where to start. Samba, FG, Jet Pro, DDM Dominator,etc... And at $100-$300, a pipe, is an expensive leap of faith, so I thought we could help some people!
I feel, in my opinion, the Jet Pro silenced version one, (there are two) is a VERY HEAVY pipe, it did give me boatloads of low end, but did kinda hurt the mid-range. The top end is about the same, maybe a touch more, but not much.
With the weight of the pipe on the rear, (a lot of the weight behind the rear tires), it killed my steering in loose gravel (such as a dirt road) but on the other hand the weight of the pipe keeps it more stable in the rear end at speed. The throttle response is amazing! Wheelies on anything that I can get traction on! Throttle is very linear up to mid throttle then goes flat for about a second or two, then starts pulling good top end rpm. Clocked at 43 mph, by the local police department and it was still pulling! (I was in a 150 foot parking lot)
The sound is very snappy, but not much louder than the stock spark arrestor, just cleaner and quicker sounding. MUCH QUIETER than a Jet-Pro unsilenced or a DDM! For comparison, the sound of the stock spark arrestor on pavement is about as loud as the silenced Jet-Pro in grass, make sense?
I am interested in going with a Samba pipe, but I was too cheap to drop $300 on something that I knew nothing about, I am sure there are others, out there , that don't know where to start, so I hope this helps!!
