I have looked everywhere for these legendary pipes! eBay, googled it...etc.

Thanks, I sent that link an email. Hopefully I get somewhere. Lol

You want to call Matt Shearer (760) 949-0017 he makes one one the best 250 pipes
-

I'm a disabled vet who just bought back my four wheeler I had when I was a kid. I heard of dr. Q pipes way back then and always wanted it. I've never heard of this guy and am kind of scared with using someone I'm not familiar with. What do you know about him?
-
-
Matt builds the pipe your looking for. I don't know the story behind the Q/shearer 250 pipe, But Matt builds and sells it. I own and run one. Best pipe one my bike to date. Hopefully i find a better one, That would mean someone out there is spending their time and money to make a 30 year old machine go a bit faster. lol
-
-
So this is the guy that makes dr q pipes?
-
-
The Q pipe is actually made by Matt Shearer.
They also haven't been on the scene for long, they've been out for at least 5 years that I know of but no more than 10 years.
You're much more likely to get shafted by Dr. Q than Shearer, just the facts.
I've never actually heard of anyone giving Shearer negative feedback, Q on the other hand has screwed over dozens of people on this very forum...me included. -
-
Wow really? I always thought he was legit. Like he probably had a store a shop and was successful. Funny! How did he screw you guys?
-
-
I think with no lube.
-
-
Did he at least give you the reach around afterwards? Lol I meant to ask, did he just take your money and run or never return your calls or messages?
-
-
Err, all of the above, and then some?
It was next to impossible to get him on the phone, and when you did it was always some excuse about how he hadn't had any time to do this or that, it'll be ready soon, etc.
Eventually you just give up waiting on the parts you sent him and buy another set so you can get to riding again...and that leads to "Well I don't remember you sending me this or that..."
At the very least you could expect a 6-12m wait for a pipe you already paid for (had to get enough customers to prepay so Shearer would build another run of pipes for him).
He started out small on an old forum, gained some followers, and started a new forum (QRHQ).
Supposedly he did pretty much every go-fast mod for the LT's, but in truth was just farming it out to other people and calling it his own.
He had a few specs that were his "secret", and nobody else could do the work.
The fan base that he accrued would have made him some real money had he been a better businessman with ethics.
He ran a pretty shady business, wouldn't honor complaints, customers often "lost" parts that were sent to him, and then there was SCAMMY, but that's another story for another time.
It got to the point that the guys who supported him were next to nil because he burned nearly every one of them in some form or another.
So he shut the site down and we were homeless for a bit until we all converged here.
Supposedly he's turned over a new leaf, but that's yet to be seen.
Here lately there have been a few customers he's done right by...don't know about you but snakebites don't heal very well on me.
So, instead of dealing with a flaky middleman, just go straight to the source

well said Cliff...........

Long Story short, the LT250 Pipe templates are owned now by Shearers, Q-(RK) could not afford the template cost with the metal stamping house, Matt then took it over, very smart move on his part.
Its the same pipe, in fact Matt up-graded some of the fit issues of the past, contact him, very easy to work with, and he stands behind his sales.
-
-
That's what I'm talking about. You guys are full of good information. I really appreciate the good info and contact number. I'm going to call that number above.
-
-
Shearer made both of my Q pipes and I dont have any of the cracking or fittiment problems and Matt is a great guy to deal with
-
-
Thanks for your service and sacrifice for our country. I saw you posted that your bike is an 86?? The shearer 250 pipe only fit's 87-92 250 power valve motors, they will not work on the 85-86 motor. The FMF is best easily found pipe for them, I believe Matt Hatfield racing is building a pipe for the 85-86 motor, but haven't heard how they run.

I just answered your question with Q's info I know none of the back story and have not done any business with Q. Mat Shearer I have spoken to many times through Facebook, he is a class act and someone I would trust for info recommendations or work. Q I know really nothing about other than he makes YouTube videos and apparently designed the pipe ill be running on my lt500 though Mat was the one who actually built the pipe.
Thanks for your service I'm an Air Force vet myself. And welcome to a place that is loaded with good guys and good information. Watch out for badmoon though he's a missagain fan and those skunk weasel lovers aren't to be trusted! -
-
Thanks for your service to our country. Scp that is made now is a little different then the old q pipe.Has had some work redone to it.But if your looking for one call Matt at 1-(760)-949-0017. Great guy and very helpful. I have one of his in frame drag pipe. I like it and it looks great sounds awesome, but if you have a 86 he might be able to make you something just give him a call.

Watch out for badmoon though he's a missagain fan and those skunk weasel lovers aren't to be trusted!
At least our team is named for one of the most viscious, powerful and amazing animals in the world, not a nut
-
-
So vicious!!! Lol like I said a skunk weasel!!! And it's a poisonous nut.
-
-
Order the pipe from Mat Shearer.
-
-
-
I dont like either your teams. One like to steal coaches and the other cheats just saying Lol!! Just say this is a joke guys dont take it the wrong way.
-
-
Anyway, back on topic you guys keep telling him to call shearer for a pipe, his bike is an 85-86 and shearer doesn't make one for them. All I know of is Matt Hatifield MHR, or an old fmf.
