are pipes worth it on a stock engine

[jet mech]

I just bouhgt an '06 SE it was born 12/30/06 and I was wondering if sticking a set of $700 pipes on it would give me much or would i have to go all out with everthing else

I bought my 03 in 04 and my first mod was pipes and it was like flipping a light switch it was like it was another bike, all you need to do is jet and tune the carbs and your ready to go. :thumbsup:

yeah a set of pipes will give you the best hp gain per $ pretty much. Just buy an aftermarket air filter set up and take the snorkel off the air box also.

[baddsheee]

Pipes yes, but spending $700 on them, I don't think so. T5's from RMATV run for 5 bills new. What kind of riding you gonn be doing?

[samdust]

toomey is good i like them alot better than fmf and all the other ones. sound pretty cool to

I will be just horsen' around on farm ground, some trails and little sahara once a year

i do the same kind of riding and t5's are good look into them

[dajogejr]

I say find a used set of FMF or T5s. Since you mentioned horsing around on a farm and a once a year trip to the dunes, I'd say FMF.

 

Porting is the best HP dollar per dollar...but, pipes are a "prerequisite" for sure!!!

probaly the best mod you can do. most people buy pipes first realy wakes the shee up,then your hooked and the sickness goes on from there.i would think you could find some nice toomeys t5s or t6s for a decent price for sure less than 700.00

Hear you go. Now please send my $100. J/K lol

Just go for it. The pipes are totally worth the plunge. :beer: :beer: :biggrin:

pipes are absolutely the best 1st mod to do. as they said, shee really comes to life with anything other than stock pipes. it just depends on your riding style as to what kind you get. anything will be better than the stockers though. you won't get the full effect of any other mods without having better pipes to let her breathe a little better anyway. of course increasing air flow, like removing the snorkel, or the lid altogether and a better filter, along with proper jetting changes will really wake it up. these changes alone will give you much better performance without even touching the motor itself.

The first thing I did when mine was new was go with a set of FMF fattys with turbine 2 silencers, removed the air box and went with K&N pods, and removed the TORS setup and went with the idel screws mod.

 

It made a big difference. Of course that lead to ported cyls, cool head, and boring out .020. and on, and on, and on...... :biggrin: to end up with this.....

 

 

Then, I gave 300' drag racing a try. Bad idea, that lead to this....

 

 

Oh well, it's only money :thumbsup:

Yeah, its modding a car or truck, whats the first mod most people do, open up the exhaust, because all other mods will be choked down baecause the air can't get out of the motor fast enough............. :thumbsup:

 

I really like my T-5's, which are a good all around pipe. The T-6's are good if you do not plan on doing any mods to your motor other than the pipes. The T-6's were designed to work really well with relatively no other mods. My dad runs the FMF pipes and I like my T-5's better...........

Thanks for the info. Rockymountainatv has toomey pipes at the best price so thanks for the link it looks like I am going for it, should I buy the whole kit or just the pipes? Going with the T-6 and an probably an idle kit while I am in doing the work let me know what your thoughts are thanks again for the advice see you all I hope at Little sahara 03/29/07 - 04/01/07 BHQ national ride out (ride forum)
