The E-series is proven too be one of the best out there on any thumper. The torque curve is what it's about....when you nail the throttle, torque is what you feel.

My brothers full LRD has more pop then my HMF slip on.. RWHP dyno's are used for comparison only and not to declare any winner. To many variables.. A crank dyno is more accurate..

The FMF T4/PowerBomb shows a nice increase on the bottom end, which is where this motor needs the most help. This is what I run, and I would say the dyno reflects my real world experience.

Another thing to consider, is they probably just got the jetting in the ballpark. They probably just used the pipe manufacturers suggestions, and who knows of they even messed with the needle? Now that is a good place to START, but once you start fine tuning, it is usually is somewhat different from the manufacturers recommendations. I doubt they took the time to precisely jet every one of those pipes????????

oh, one more thing... Trinity is sure that you will like their pipe or they offer you your money back within 30 days of purchasing the system. I dont think anyone does that.

LOL another DIRT WHEELS screwup. Those guys do not ever learn. They stated that they ran the pipes as per the manufactures recomodations. LOL WHY NOT JUST USE A O2 SENSON AND DIAL THEM IN RIGHT. LOL.. Looking at the charts and ready the info it was obvious that some were not jetted right. Some were stumbling on top etc. Give it up DIRT DO. If i was a pipe builder besides CT i would not participatre in future shoot outs.

The winner(s) of the shootout were tied, the CT Racing and the Pro Circuit. The White Bros tied for first runner up, seems confusing and I read it several times. The CT was the only one to break into the 35hp range. I feel the pipes are way too expensive! I'm also glad I holesawed my stocker out!!!
PD
