Default Best pipe

Hello guys (and gals). I am not a Bomb person, so just consider me to be pretty dumb here. I have a good friend who wants to put a full pipe on his Baja. What in general is the best pipe for all around performance? It will have a good air filter installed and jetted of course, but other than that it will be stock. Thank you for any info,Bubba

the mbrp is full stainless and looks pretty good, but most seem to work pretty good.

Took the words right out of my mouth Samcoeds.

It is the best performing pipe out there...it looks pretty damn good if you keep it clean and polished. It is quite loud though. Mine is over 104-105 db (sick loud), but mine is in need of a repacking. I've been told that the glasspacking degrades over time and loses power, while only getting louder. So it needs to be repacked once a year or so.

It has 2 flaws in my book. The pipe is very long and sticks about 2 inches behind the stock grab bar so a wheelie gone bad will plant your pipe in the ground. So if you like to wheelie...you will need an aftermarket grab bar (stock bar sucks anyway) that is longer.

The other thing is, although I'm not sure if ALL the Wood pipes are designed the same (I heard they changed the design, but not certain), that when the rear shock bottoms out, the Muffler will hit straight into your brake rotor, causing a dent in the pipe..and possibly damage to your rotor. This is not something that will happen everyday...You need a decently big jump and hard landing to bottom out 11.5" of travel on a good rear shock.

I jump mildly and have never even come close to denting my Wood pipe. Although the endcap tip has been bent a little from overcooking a wheelie. But nothing major. Other than that, the sound is awesome and the power doesn't get any better.

i wouldnt recommend a pipe that did not even get the R&D put into it, to clear the suspension travel........ it might be a sign of lack of R&D in other departments

Hands down the RWR pipe is the best performing pipe out there! I noticed a big difference over all the slip-ons I have tried. The problem is the swinarm hits the pipe when you bottom but it doesn't make that big of a dent. And you have to remember the guy's that designed this pipe don't dune or jump these things.

Sound is becoming a huge issue. USFS is now 96db max. all state run land in Cal is the same I am sure more areas will follow. So do yourself a favor and get a pipe that meets these standards if you plan on riding in sensative areas. That and quality manufacturing is why I chose the MBRP. NO more fiberglass packing to mess with.
