machwon and everyone else I have decided if I get this R I am going to get the ESR Zeplin pipe , with probably and FMF or PC silencer. I Know that ESR has very FAST service because I orderd 2 [i]free[i] catologs from them on friday and got them monday morning !

killer250r:

Are you sure you want a zeppelin? That's a pretty specialized pipe with a specific application (top end ONLY). It's not meant for a wide range of riding. What kind of riding do you do? What kind of things are you looking for in your new pipe? The ESR TRX5, and TRX6, are better suited to most applications.

Just want to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck.

I would not get a top end pipe like I did. It has an awsome hit but is really hard to trail ride cause you need to keep thge revs high all the time and really doesnt work very well.I know mine is a Trinity and you want a zeppeline but still the top end hit isnt any good for trail riding. Thats why the LRD would be so nice with the adjustability.

Really ? I heard that if you run high compression then you can run a TT type pipe (zeplin) with a race port and you will be set for , trails , MX , and high rev situations. What pipe do you recomend then I ride trail , drag race , and MX type riding. Maybe the TRX6?
I don't want a bottom pipe because my friend has one on his 250R and that thing sucks!

I agree with nacsracer40, if you were sponsored by DG, guess what you would be using there stuff. You can get a much better pipe for alot less money. Anyway, I have a Sparks pipe and it is awesome, I run a sparks 265 national kit. Now my recommendation would be Sparks, LRD, CT, Paul Turner....and that will also depend on what type of riding you will be doing. Make sure you get a MX pipe or TT pipe depending on your ride.

The ESR Zeppelin is a top end pipe only, not much good for TT or MX at all. If you're running tight mx and trails, I'd suggest a TRX6. The TRX6 is our bottom end, mx and woods pipe, but don't compare it to other "bottom end" pipes on the market. It revs to the moon and top end performance is surprising for a "bottom-end" pipe. The alternative is our TRX5, which is our "all around" pipe (I know, I know, impossible right?). You will sacrifice a LITTLE bit of bottom end grunt, but you'll gain some top-end performance. You would like the TRX6 if you were riding in the dunes a lot, or on trails with long straights and not too much "tight" stuff. Don't get me wrong, the TRX5 is definately motocrossable, and many people do so. But, if you're in the tight stuff a lot, and you need every little bit of grunt to clear that double coming out of the corner, you may lean towards the TRX6. Totally confused now? Whatever you decide, keep in mind all our pipes carry a 30-day performance guarantee, no questions asked! Let me know what else I can do for you, and if you want to place an order let me know, I can discount our products for my atvconnection buddies!

thanks

The TRX6 is definately our MX pipe, especially if you have a lot of tight turns. Historically, riders have had to settle for mx style (bottom end) pipes that won't rev (well). I think you'll be very pleased with the top-end performance from our TRX6 "mx" pipe. Besides, don't forget about the guarantee......

Let me know what else I can do for you.

thanks

Sorry, no forrestry approved silencer. We currently make a quiet silencer, but not a sparky. Here's my email address for your records, keep in touch:

nitereiter@earthlink.net



thanks again
