Sound alot better since i repacked the silencer, it didnt have much packing and the pop rivets came loose on me the first time i ran it. So i put bolts in it instead of rivets, but i cant open it up for awhile re break in my bottom end since rebuild.

It has been a long time since i posted in this thread, But it only took since February to get to the point im at now. Alot of work and problems. But in them video i made the quad wasnt running right at all. It was my reeds or the stator. But i have finally felt the power this pipe has to offer. So if anyone is in the market for a pipe for the lt250r ,save your money and buy this pipe. This pipe will pull forever and some more. Im going to make a new video to show the difference of what it does on my quad now to when i took them videos.

I think I have one but the original owner repaired the one mount and it looks like bird droppings unfortunately. Let me take a look again to see what's there....

So is the Shearer still the best pipe or is the FTZ inframe now the top dog?

Some lucky member with LT250 needs to do a Dyno Run with a few pipes and post the results, would be some nice info to share.

i have the dyno port on my bartlett 250 and IMO pulls harder and has much better torque then the shearer pipe. it makes peak close th the same rpm as shearer just no over rev

best pipe is still the one with the dimensions that most closely match the engines porting. ftz/shearer/dyno port pipes are all heavy hitters for ported engines not for stock engines. hopefully el diablo will post his dyno testing figures some time this century while we can still ride...

There are different shaped fmf fatty pipes. What is the difference? Some are in front of the engine like factory and some are similar to a 500 pipe side mounted.

That ftZ is a sexy pipe Gillio! What carb setup are you running? Is that a zilla intake boot and big carb?

mine came with a PSI pipe that needed a rechrome and a new silencer. i have stock bore and carb/ it was amazing!!! i bought the scp and its nearly the same but i little fatter. i havent tried the scp yet... im afraid i will be disapointed till the engine is ported and the plus 2mm piston is added.
the plan now is to drive the psi pipe till i need more power i guess cause the psi rocked my world and i loved the sound and top end and midrange. on a stock bike anyway.
- my friend has a stock lt500 and he keeps saying that when i open it up he cant catch me..... but i feel the same way about his lt500..... so i think it more about who gets on the gas sooner. they are both intimidating to most any other quads.
---------
i have alot of personal experience with porting/ so whats the deal? should i ask matt shearer how to port to match the pipe?

We resumed engine development on the LT 250 Suzuki after a 25 plus year break. We gathered up an arm load of pipes to do our initial testing. In our initial test we tested the Paul turner pipe and silencer, DR Q / Shearer pipe and silencer, Dyno Port, and a few other that we could not identify the manufacturer of the pipes. We wanted to test a FTZ exhaust system but could not find one for testing. We would still like to test a FTZ. Our test mule is a 1987 LT 250. The engine ports were cleaned up but port timings were not changed. It had a TM38 Mikuni. We modified the stock head. It had Boysen dual stage reed petals on a RM 400 intake manifold. Stock stroke and a 68mm Wiseco piston.
Displayed below is the top 3 pipe contenders tested on the engine specs. listed above.
