and the fact that he likes the pc 2 with out telling us why is useless too.

i think he is saying that the k5 likes a longer section before the divergent cone section but that's not very clear. how much dose it like, how much more dose the pc 2 have over the pc platinum or other pipes? non of his info helps me decide if one pipe favors the mid and upper rmp range over  another pipe. and if he is saying that the pc 2 is better for mid/top why would pro circuit have this in the description of the pc 2.

--- Quote ---The Platinum 2 pipe was made for people who ride or race off-road. Constructed from heavy-duty 18- gauge metal, it offers increased protection from rock or crash damage. Like the Platinum and Works pipe, the Platinum 2 offers incredible performance with substantial power gains in the low and mid range part of the powerband.

to me this sound like the pipe was designed for low to mid power not mid to top. maybe the dyno showed something different but i have not heard Stewart say that the pc 2 works better in the mid upper RPM than the other pipes, just that he like it.

Bob, Stewart does not go by what other people think about stuff. He dyno's the hell out of stuff and tells the facts about what he has learned with the wrecking wheel. I know you are very smart but I also know you haven't dynoed anything. If you had a chrome part that you swore made the K-5 faster Stewart would dyno the chrome off of it. When he was done he would be able to tell you if triple dip chrome was faster then plain old nickel. See you at the hill bob :-D bring your beer and don't shake it up this time. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

pc 2/r304 combo made a noticable increase on my 00 although nothing compared to switching from rad valve to vforce :-D my only complaint is the pipe did not fit as well as the stock or the fmf. guess you cant have it all right.

3Razors:
So what was the conclusion on the difference between PC1 and PC2 pipe for the K5?  What part of the powerband is each better for?

crazyolbastard:
pc1= more top end
pc2= more mid to top
if I am correct
hope this helps.
