KJWaters217 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 the site is up and its dated 2009 so it has to be pretty recent. are they the same pipes they used to make or have they changed? seems like the rockets have a loyal fan base. i wish i just had endless amounts of money so i could just buy one of everything and see what works the best cuz i cant make up my mind on a lot of shit lol Quote
locogato11283 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 damn.. there is a pic on their website of me and my bros bikes at the dunes.. that shit is old. maybe they are still producing them, but i wasnt aware of it. Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 HMMMMMMMMMM Be careful Quote
GNR101 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 hmmm just got some CPIs ... damn if they still do make the Rockets... woulda gone them Quote
dajogejr Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 You'll be happier with CPIs. They're not going anywhere, they don't have a "bad past" like Rockets, they perform just as good...and their customer service it 2nd to none. Buddy of mine cartwheeled his bike in the dunes and smashed the shit out of his pipe. I think they charged him about 40 or 50 bucks including shipping back to fix it good as new...and he got it back QUICK!!! I've tried Rockets...one of the old owners lives in MI about 20 minutes from me. I thought they were garbage then and since they haven't changed, I still feel that way. My opinion based on my use of them... I will say they were...or possibly still are, made of some thick ass metal. If you don't mind the weight...they are constructed pretty solid. That's about the only good thing I can say about them. Quote

Seem to have more power all around then the CPIs, even down low. I liked the CPIs, but I think the Shearers perform better. I am sure you'll be pleased with your choice. SP Quote
RagunCajun Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 Isnt the port job suppose to go with the pipes? When i was ported for my 4 mil, we discused the pipe/port combo i was gonna be best suited for along with my powerband needs. hmmm Quote

Shawn R Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 I have ridden bikes with both CPIs and my personal bike has shearers. The CPI's have good low to mid where the shearers are more of a top end pipe. If you live in the powerband of your bike the topend performance of the shearers is amazing. Plus everybody and their mom runs CPI's. Both are great depending on what kind of riding you do mostly. Quote

I love them for what i do. Plus there rare, look mean and nasty, no other pipes look like them and they rip and sound killer. Im happy. But go with what you like im just stating my opinion. Quote
