joshv5.0 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 how are they compared to fmf gold series? also they look like if you had to change the plugs. it would be a real bitch. but they look sweet also are they leg burners? Quote
locogato11283 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 how are they compared to fmf gold series? umm its like comparing apples and oranges. the rockets will pull harder and much longer on top. also they look like if you had to change the plugs. it would be a real bitch. but they look sweet plugs arent a problem. i can get mine out just as quick as any other pipe. also are they leg burners? 349789[/snapback] never burnt my shit yet...

superchicken Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 i agree with 2 out of three.the plug change does take a little bit more effort.i have to try bending a wrench to make it easier Quote

Ducman Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 I know people put rockets in the drag pipe category, but I wouldn't consider them a top end only pipe and they definitely dont have a light switch effect when the power hits. They dont come on as strong and as early as the FMFs but they just build power all the way to the top and rev out soooo much higher. I went from FMF Gnarlies to Rockets on a stock port motor and I rode just about every type of terrain immagineable. About the only thing the FMFs did better was when you were just putting around and only using low end power. Any type of agressive riding and the rockets just simply outperformed the FMF by a huge margin. 5th and 6th gear were gutless with FMF's and pulled like a bitch with rockets. As far as the leg burnin thing, I wouldn't ride in a pair of shorts and do any wild manuvers, but unless your half falling off or going over the bars and doing everything you can to stay on, you wont get burnt. I don't think I've touched the rockets a hole lot more than the FMF's I had. Spark plug change is easy through the front, maybe a little difficult the first time or 2. If you have a pair of riding gloves on you can change the plug even when the pipes are hot like on a plug check with the wrench in the tool kit no problem. Quote
locogato11283 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 i bent up a wrench to go up under the pipe. works fine. or i go thru the front. either way its no big deal. as for the power on my 4mm stroker the rockets came on earlier, pulled harder thru the mid range and kept pulling where the cpi's signed off...

bansheecaptain Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 do they hit like the fatty do when you reach the powerband, or are they like the pual turners just flat all the way up Quote
