Riding style, and what you ride. The trail/harescramble racer isn't going to like the same pipe as the hillshooter, duner, drag racer. MX racers don't run drag pipes, and vice versa. Jerrys, RK's, either of the Matts pipes are going to have their own specific powerband that better suits any number of different uses. How does this ALWAYS end up turning into this?
Hateraid, seat of pants dyno, real world... Whatever.
Dune riders ask about dune pipes, hillshooters ask fellow hillshooters, XC guys ask fellow XC guys. That seems to make too much sense to me I guess.
we should all try to make somewhat of an effort not to turn exhaust thread in to a "my pipe is better than yours." maybe try to keep the b.s. in the lounge section and keep the technical section somewhat technical...
voodoo: that is what is similar to what posted about trying to crown on pipe as the "best." dyno graphs on all the pipes on the same motor will show where these pipe shine and the buyer can decide if the power band matches his riding style. i think someone should temporarily "steal" the only pipe that is the no show, have it dynod, then put back on the quad before the owner finds out!

Agreed, at the end of the day though, people do need to stop arguing about who is best. "BEST" is really relative isn't it?
Agreed, Besides Hands Down the Best Pipe is:
This is the one I want to Dyno!
is that the SUPERFLEX pipe ?
belive it or not, but that bike with that fast flex pipe is no slacker.
I've used superflex before on my first couple cars as a teenager,
Did the job for a while, lol

Sorry man ..........I don't believe it. You have Dyno graphs to prove that statement?
there were vids on the old site of it running up the big hill, ask Q he knows all about it..
The Microwave pipe was even better..... The old guys know the story
oh yeah that was the pipe, damnnn i thought it was the flex, lol
Yeah, wasn't his name Kirk?
Called it the HBD (hillbilly deluxe)
He was from somewhere in AZ too...

I rode with him and that bike was fast, he was an engineering student and made the pipe out of microwave sheet metal
I was lucky enough to see it in person. Even saw him destroy a banshee. His dad is Bill Clinton. Seriously, he's Bill Clinton. The HBD hybrid was a site to see! The ULTIMATE sleeper bike.
If I remember right, the good Dr. was impressed too??
HillBilly Zilla--with pipe made from a microwave. You guys sure you were not smoking something will bill clinton in the good old days----or still smoking it
-
Nope, trying to hunt up the vid. It was well designed.. Just built from microwave metal
I like the flex pipe! You can convert from an in-frame to an OOF drag pipe in a matter of seconds! Plus, it allows for small variations in motor placement in hybrids! lol
lets see who can find it first on youtube
gotta get me one dem!!
