ellison445 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 PM Nyuk, he will give you a great deal on some used pipes. You will be surprised, I got my toomeys used for a good price and they came in great condition. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 My T-5's came from NYUK. Quote
Banshee17Racing Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 There's nothing wrong with buying used pipes. Just make sure they're in working shape. I've bought both my T5's and my Pro Circuits used. Both were in great shape. I think it's pretty stupid to buy a brand new set of pipes when you can find used pipes in immaculate shape for hundreds less. Quote
2strokesmoke Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 what ever you buy it will be better than stock Quote
Wallrat Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 As long as the pipes don't have any dents its fine. They'll have some carbon buildup inside which technically will affect performance a little but you'll get that after riding on a new set of pipes for awhile. Quote
4everwantedbanshee Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 i was wondering can you clean the inside of the pipes. like with some solvent or grease remover maybe. Quote
dajogejr Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 i was wondering can you clean the inside of the pipes. like with some solvent or grease remover maybe. 457309[/snapback] Tape off both ends of the pipe...fill it with gasoline and rocks, perferrably flinty ones...an shake till you can't no more. JUST KIDDING...I read that once in a while elsewhere and it still cracks me up... I bought my T5s off a fellow HQ'er...save a few hundred bucks. They were (are) a bit rusty...but, hey...I saved enough $$ on 'em to make it worth it. I'm having them JetHot coated real soon by a friend of a friend...save on the pipes if you have to, and you can always get them coated or cleaned up later if they're not "pretty"... The stock pipes are just plain awful, suck, shitty...I think that covers it. Quote
Wallrat Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 A buddy of mine was convinced that he could clean out the carbon with some carb cleaner and a lighter. It was pretty entertaining as those things popped and shot flames out both sides, actually continued for several minutes. But the carbon stayed. Quote
Gargamel Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 That oven cleaner trick works pretty good. but go for used if your on a budget. New ones will be "used" as soon as you put them on and you'll loose dough when/if you want to try different pipes. Quote
NYUK Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 I HAVE A LIKE NEW SET OF PTR MIDS IN THE FOR SALE SECTION. silencer has a ding. Quote
s-540 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 if you know someone with an ultasonic tank that you can fit them in use that. they will come out spotless. Quote
rocketboy Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 when yo u get your used pipes fill them with some kerosene and shake vigorously and dump out ,repeat that till the kerosene runs clear Quote
