After installing the exhaust, the first thing I noticed is how far it sticks out the back...I'm now in the market for a new grab bar so I don't rip it off in a bad wheelie...I might as well get a 6 pack rack but im open to suggestions...I guess what I'm asking is
- What brand?
- Strong enough to stand up to a wheelie?
- Does it protect the pipe?
Thanks in advance,
Seth

 

Nice Nice pipe but thats why i stayed away from it.....it also hits the break caliper. I have the ac 6 pack rack it held up to a bad wheelie...but its sitting in the garage now.... i think they make the ds look horrible.

 

mine never hit the brake caliper, but in a hard bottom out, the bottom of last curve of the megaphone got dented by the swingarm. every time I bottomed it would get tapped and the dent got bigger each time. I saw one a guy called ds650stage1 had been using on an mx track - smashed in so bad by the swingarm that it was rendered useless. so make sure you suspension is set up optimum to try and avoid bottoming as best as you can. other than that, its a really great pipe. a 6pack rack is the only thing long enough to protect it. and once installed the bike won't be able to stand up on its rear end anymore for undercarriage inspections.

 

I've had mine since i bought my quad in the end ofof 04 and have not experianced any of these problems. Mine does rub the rear shock a little & keeps melting holes in the shock cover. I am running a +6 swinger so flipping over during wheelies is not a problem, i have bottomed out a time or 2, maybe i'm not as aggressive as some of you. It is a great pipe though.

The PRM six pack rack is tough as nails and works great for wheeling I have a pic on my page with the PRM six pack rack and a Ron woods Exhaust.
