I doubt you could call anything from Yaffe or Martin Bros. for that matter a good performance pipe. Those companies specialize in "pretty" or "vanity".
If you want performance, look to V&H, Hooker or Cobra.
Everything is a trade off, but V&H makes some really sharp stuff that won't cost you power.

The x pipe would look great on your train. If you are working on getting the last bit of HP out of the motor get a 2 into 1 pipe. If you are going for looks, and horsepower doesn't matter get the pipe.

People say drag pipes are bad, because they are not good for performance and typically loud. The XPIPES Do look good on a night train. You can google them to check there performance.

Thanks all for your answer!!


I'm scared because the Drag Pipes can damage the engine. I have Drag Pipes because i like the long and thin exhaust.


Do you know this? http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...049786074&rd=1



Thanks again!!

These pipes look great, perfect for the train. Too much money for the poor quality of the pipe. Mine started to rust after six months.
