Gnarley pipe

(1/3) > >>

martinfan30:
Will it fit under my IMS 3.6 gallon tank?

Also I understand its  a better bottom-mid range power pipe than stock? Does top end go away?

With stock reeds, will it make any difference?

slow600:
here a pic of mine with ims tank. it cleared but just barely. bike pulled hard off the bottom but seemed to flatten out up top.

martinfan30:
SO is the top end still good? Heres a pic of mine. Notice the bash plate. Think that pipe will fit with it?

KXcam22:
Nope, not without some mods.  The lower portion is fatter and has a different curve. Excellent pipe but it takes quite a bit of "rush" off the top end.  I liked it since I typically ride fastest using midrange power and short-shifting. Not a pipe for screaming through the desert. For MX it would be awesome. Cam.

Well, I dont MX. I ride alot of single track here, and the bottom end is still good enough for me with stock pipe. And the FMF ISDE can.

I also do lots of desert stuff and want to keep what top end I have. So that pipe sounds like it isnt for me.\

Ideas for more power without losing topend, and maintaing the bottom end?
