500 pipe

(1/1)

runabout:
I was wondering if people had a preference...
I have a procircut and a dyno port.. opinions?

kelcrist:
i have a bunch of pipes i have run off and on over the last couple of years.   pro circuit, fmf woods, fmf desert and stock. to be quite honest  i didnt feel a huge difference between any of them.    id say the woods pipe and the stock pipe gave a bit more low end power while the pro circuit and the desert pipe seemed to rev a bit more.   i ride with 3 other 500s and when we drag race none of us has a clear advantage.   i have put my stock silencer on one of my bikes cuz the fmf fell apart inside.    ill let ya know how that turns out.

kwakman:
if your silencer died it probably needed repacking,the heat and vibration do them no good when they've blown out the packing..hth.K.
