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!  2c

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?

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.

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
