best performing stock pipes??

Post by twinrock »

What are the best performing stock pipes.. I currently have 350 f2 pipes..they feel soo lethargic..and sound terrible..I like the look of early cigar pipes..but also lookin at cutting the mufflers off the f2 and putting better less restrictive ones on..just lookin at options for stock set up..befor I look at chambers..Thanks

the ones you have are the best really, maybe they need a good clean out with caustic soda?

Keep the cans and gut the pipes would be better.

"they feel soo lethargic" I not sure what you are comparing to or what you expect from the poor old 2t 350 but you might have other issues.

But really the answer is properly designed pipes. And they can be quiet and still produce good power.

There was long and dare I say "exhaustive" testing done on most pipes available on a dyno by some of the fellas on the UK LC forum which seems to back up what Jon an OZ are saying, worth a read.
