bansheejoel Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 I have the chance to buy a mint set of the older manufactured pipes that rocket made. They look like new and come with silencers for $350 Should i jump on them or get cpi's? Engine is soon to be a dune ported 4-mill....thanks Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 Grab them if you want man. I love my old original set in mint shape i picked up this summer. Just what clamps do you use now? The stinger tubes are alot larger on the old ones. I run the cascade ones that i modified just a lil bit and they seal up really nice. New ones have the smaller dia stingers and looks like diff silencers and the gauge of metal they use now is not at thick and heavy duty as the old set like the ones i scored. You can see what mine look like in my gallery on here. What do you use now for pipes? IMO they would suck balls on no porting. dune ported and up is where they shine ive personally found out when switching over from T5's. Good power over the T5's big time all around. Quote
bbcmudtruck Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 I'm running a dune ported 4mil. I switched from T5s to old Rockets an picked up power EVERYWHERE! I have never ran cpis or sheares, however I'm not dissapointed in the Rockets what so ever. Rockets= Quote
bansheejoel Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Posted October 22, 2009 Yeah i really like the way they look. Dont get me wrong i like cpi's but HATE the way they look. Im using some crappy clamps i got off ebay i dont even know the brand. My engine has some porting done to it but i plan on sending out my new jugs to kevin and have a "hot hillshooter" port job done. I got the 4mill crank and some 34mm carbs i just need some good pipes as im running good ole fattys rite now. Mostly because i did alot of trail riding but the trails have gone to shit by me so it will be 90% dune and 10% screwing around on my road and in my yard. Quote
RZBansheeMan Posted October 22, 2009 Report Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Grab those Rockets for sure !!! Trust me, you'll not be disappointed at all, I run them on a stock motor with bumped timing and drilled air box. They pull like crazy from mid on up, with no noticeable bottom end loss. Just need to watch the legs a little, and let it cool down before turning the petcock. For the pipe clamps, I just used the black factory rubber ones and only clamped them on the chamber side of the exhaust, may sound kind of silly but they do not leak at all.
