Rockets Vs. Fatty's

[sheefreak]

I run Fmf Fatty's now and am thinking of buying a set of rockets for the new season, can't say I'm unhappy w/fatty's, but starting to look rough, and have heard so many good things about Rockets. Wondering if anyone has upgraded to Rockets from Fatty's, and would love your opinions.

They are two totally different pipes. If you love the Fatty's I would stick with them. Rockets, CPI, and Shearer are top end pipes that won't have the bottom end you are used to. I have tried Shearers and CPI's and always end up keeping the Fatty's.

I went from Gnarlies to Rockets. I was very happy. On a stock motor the rockets make pretty good low end torque (I also had 20cc domes) and alot of midrange, they just don't get on the pipe from quite as low of a RPM. When the power comes on it is pretty smooth though, not too light switchy like people say the Toomy T-5 is, and the top end is fenominally beter than FMF. Gnarlies have way better top end than stock but they really sign offa lot earlier than a good top end pipe. They wind out so much farther that pulling a taller gear is way easier because you dont bog when shifting into the next gear when you've got a big load on the motor. It didn't seem like It missed the low end at all. The gnarles were a little better on the trails but the Rockets were far superior in the sand and just about anywhere else.

I'm lloking forward to see the dyno sheets of the testing locogato11283

is going to do. It would be very helpfull if you can put some kind of description of the mods you have, jetting, altitude of the test, temp and the brand of the dyno machine in which you are testing, pipes tested. Everything here counts.

 

Check if you can test T5's also.
