Hi guys another newbee here. looking for a little info have 2000 ds650 have looked at some pipes just wonderd what your thoughts are?

 

I would say it depends on your mods. I have had the Graydon, and Woods. I now have the MBRP slip-on and think it is the best. I have CDI, K&N, airbox lid removed and jet kit. The slip-on looks great, sounds great, and is a little less on the noisey side from the 2 previous pipes.

 

no mods yeat but I want to do a pipe ,k&n and a jet kit

 

I would still say between Graydon, Woods, and MBRP I would go with the MBRP. They also have the complete system with head pipes if you want. I went with only the slip-on. I think the factory head pipes are very good and without serious engine mods you will not gain much with new ones.

 

Thanks! do you know where I can find a cheap place to get one?

 

i know there all three loud, i know the graydon and woods seem to work good on the ds, and people seem happy with the alba

 

I too went with the MBRP set up. First the slip on now the whole shabang. Quality and finish were (I say were because I have destroyed the slip on) top notch. Hopefully I can get MBRP to fix the slip on I would like to keep it. I really like the headpipes. They look really cool. The headpipes were kinda a pain to get on. But other than that they are a tight fit. No leaks yet.

 

how did you destroy it? so you really like that pipe? Yes Ford Trucks Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

How do all of thease pipes hold up ?

 

I had the CT Racing Pipe, which I've heard is the same as the Graydon, on my bike for about 20 minutes. Way too loud for me. I went the MBRP slip-on and it is much quieter and not nearly as piercing as the CT. For the money, I would definetly recommend the MBRP. You also have the benefit of never having to repack the pipe. The Graydon you would have to drill then repack. After a couple of years that would add up. As far as power goes, with a Dyno Jet Kit, I didn't notice a difference between the two pipes. Both would easily loft the front end through most of the gears. The MBRP looks great also. Just my opinion though.
