Barracuda Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 I bought a set of Power Pro drag pipes, but my engine builder said they sucked. I only paid 200 for them and they are in great shape . they look like they have hardly beed used. Good deal or not? RoostKing... Quote

BaddestBanshee Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Power pro will make any pipe you want. So, there is no telling if those are custom or if they are manufactured pipes. I just had them make me a set that look like cpi's, But, they cost less and it is easier for me to do it that way. Got pics of em, I might notice them. Quote
Texas Outlaw Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Barracuda, who's your builder? Rudy Kurtz(Port Magic) uses and recommends Power Pro pipes. Rudy's bikes are some of the fastest in the country. Nothing wrong with Power Pro's. Quote
Barracuda Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 Thanks for the replies, I know that some real fast banshees run the power pros, so i didnt really (obviously) take his advice. I like the fact they have silencers as well. I dont know how strict they are going to be at the dunes(Glamis) as far as sound levels. Thanks again! RoostKing... Quote
BaddestBanshee Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I have the hush silencers, they db'ed at 92! Quote
Barracuda Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 Im not sure if mine are hush, but they are integrated into the pipe. I suppose they are? RoostKing... Quote
BaddestBanshee Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 If you look in the silencer end there should be a piece of steel tube mounted sideways, the canister diameter is also about 3.5" around. Quote
alkydier Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 I have same side power pros and they work good for my setup lots of topend. Quote
imaduner Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Several of us have identical shees w/ powerpros pipes like baddest banshee described (ILR customer ??). They work fine...not quite as much bottom end as toomeys but way better on top. sounds like drag pipes if you have integrated silencers...doubt they are hush or super quiets tho. Quote
BaddestBanshee Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 ILR all the way Baby! I just ran the new ones at Moses on Sunday night. I killed everything out there. They do have way more mid power than the full out drag pipes. It is a lot like the cpi's! Quote
OutOfControl Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Are you guys running inframe or out of frame? How do they run on small bore motors? What kind of porting ? Quote
imaduner Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 We are running powerpros in frames w/super quiet silencers (92 db). 3 of us w/ identical shees are basically stock motors w/ K&N(no lid),carbon tech reeds,+4 timing, not the fastest guys out there but do well on the hills etc. The bottom end could be improved with more compression.

OutOfControl Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Thanks Guys, I just got mine made to CPI specs. I havent had a chance to put them on yet , but cant wait to see how they run. What jetting r u running? Quote
imaduner Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 300-310 main, stock pilot and I think I moved the clip down 1 position. Quote
