Hi, I am about to install the Graydon exhaust system on my DS but am a little worried with a couple of problems posted on this forum.
Can you tell me about any problems you have had with it ?
Thanks!

The only problem that I have had was small leak at the two into one conection.It's no big deal,but be sure to use the high heat silicone to seal it.Also I used the rubber spacer mounts from the stock pipe. But the pipe kick a##. Have fun!!!!!

clif, did you get instructions with your pipe?? I didn't Also didn't get any with the graydon steering dampner,I called them they said they don't send them, told me to look in the feb issue dirtwheels(ds/raptor article) to see how to mount the dampner.I figured it out before I found the issue but mine's not mounted like the one in the article,but it works seen others mounted just like mine.More direction would be nice from graydon

I guess that would be one advantage to the PEP steering damper, it comes with directions. Though, no one checked for typo's on it... It lists the model as: Bombardier DR650. The directions look O.K. they did some rough drawings and even a couple of actual measurements - enough to figure it out anyhow.

No,I did not get directions with my pipe.They should send directions on the pipe and they also should send the silicone for it,free.I had to call,and order the stuff for $7,and they have a $30 minimum.But over all,I am pleased with it(performance-looks).I have been hearing real bad things about Big Gun pipes,like pipes not fitting and sealing up,and making a rattling sound.But Graydon should send directions on instaling their pipes,and provide all the necessary stuff with it. Just my two cents......

As far as I know he doesn't have web-site He did tell me that I would get better performance if I used his pipe with my stage 2 kit instead of the Graydon pipe that I am using now, or should I say the graydon pipe that I am waiting for that I sent back to get fixed!!!!anybody wanna trade a Wood's pipe for a Graydon?
