Hi Count

Was there a reason you no longer run it?

They're loud as hell and performance is eh.

I've set up a HPI 5B pipe like this on my TT. Needed to wrap it though as it was a risk to the cage. I'm not sure about the difference with the HPI 5B pipe in comparison to the clone ghost one above, but its not that loud and has great midrange / top end. Low down has always been great on my TT with any pipe, this might be the stack and 813 carb though.

Performance is?

I went to a Baja rear mount tuned pipe, way better performance & sound.

You can see it in my thread.

I had one of these on mine, no modding & no issues with fitment or anything.

Unfortunately it doesn't fit my V3

Are you talking about a MT V3?

I have one of these on my MT V3

You don't have any probs with the HSP?

I've heard they melt pretty easily

After about 10 tanks of bashing, the pipe cracked on a corner. I used the tuned section to make a custom stainless pipe then. But I bought a second one at a discount & it's still ok.

 

[Phill]

I got the Ghost on.

I had to make brackets to lift the wing 50mm (prolly could have got away with 40 but it's done now) and got some 10mm ID fuel hose from Repco - slit it and slipped it over the cage to protect it.

It sounds just like a 2 stroke with an expansion chamber but that's prolly because it's a 2 stroke with an expansion chamber.

Let's see it...

Here 'tisIn case you can't tell I brought it to work to do some bashing this morning.I've included a pic of my bash area - it's a 50 acre estate and I'm the project manager so there's no-one to kick me out!

Plenty of room to tear it up out there.

 

[Ildy666]

[Phill]

Yep great spot

Trouble is I've sold half of it and after Xmas people will start putting houses in my way

 

[phreerider]

Yep got a 990 on it

Sounds great but a bit loud

 

[Phill]

As anticipated the Ghost cracked so now I'm looking for a steel pipe but not a Dom type.

Has anyone tried a KM Thor on a DR?

Now that I have the wing lifted I reckon I've got a chance but not sure about the length.

If I'm not mistaken ..that pipe is a clone of a version of CPI for the 5T..it may be a good performance. Pipe for a clone.
